In 1999, the third Eclipse with two engines was introduced: 150 hp 2.4 L 4-cylinder 16-valve SOHC, and 205 hp 24v V6 SOHC 3.0 L. Unfortunately, the turbo and AWD variants are no longer available. The new suspension is adjusted for a softer and more comfortable ride. The Eclipse is manufactured on the 8th generation Galant platform. The weight of the car also increased. The new Eclipse is valued for its V6 power, handling, comfort, reliability and economy (especially the 4-cylinder engine). Buyers like exterior and interior design. Among the disadvantages are a weak 4-cylinder engine, little space inside, not the highest quality materials used in the interior.
