  • Somewhere between a small SUV and a mid-size SUV sits the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. It’s a family car contender thanks to the extra space it has over small SUVs, and competes with cars like the Honda HR-V, Kia Seltos and the Nissan Qashqai, all of which offer good space for their size.

    I recently bought this car, as a family of four (with a tall teenage boy). I compared this to Rav4, Sportage, CX5, Tiqan and CRV. I found that this car was more roomy and for the price point had far more bang for the buck. The thing that tipped us over was the 10 year warranty and 10 year capped price servicing. The others didn’t compare. Having sat in each car as a family, I personally think this is a mid size SUV with lots of room. This car also has better towing capacity than others in this range including the CX5. We love this car and have zero issues with the items highlighted in this vid.

    I test drove pretty much everything SUV wise in that $35k-$45K price range and found that nothing other than the Skoda Kamiq (with all of the extras added on = approx. $40K) could touch the Eclipse Cross Exceed. The Rav4 was great and all, but for the price, overrated (with all of the features the Exceed has, the Rav4 would easily be $10K-$15K more expensive).

    It's not perfect but most suvs aren't. It's a good buy and having driven one it's better than other small suvs I've driven namely seltos,hrv and kona

    Still one of the better small size SUV. Way better than something like the HR-V or Qashqai.
    For the money, you do get a fair bit of kit. Same can't be said for the seltos

    I was in the market for a new car and needed something with enough space for golf club or alike in the back.
    I tried the Toyota CHR Mazda CX-3, both great cars but too small. Also can get pricey if you want more than the basics.
    Tried the ASX as it was a bit bigger and then when I was in the yard I noticed the Eclipse. Fell in love with it and at the price point, it’s perfect. Sure, the tech may not be as nice as others but apple car play is the same across all these and that’s all I need.
    The safety features includes in the aspire is worth it compared to the LS (model down).
    Don’t get the exceed, not worth the up charge.
    Can’t wait to get mine soon!

    I actually enjoyed the sound system in the aspire model (upgrade from lower models). I tested it using a range of genres and didn’t find it unpleasant at all. My old HRV Vti would blare the music once the volume went up and I wasn’t a fan.
    Also on the drive, I found it to actually be a bit of fun when you put it in manual and use the paddle shifters. You get to enjoy the torque of the turbo, which is far more responsive than if you just put your foot down normally. I threw it into some good sharp hill corners using the paddle shifters and it was great fun

And it doesn't help too with covid like that s*** is slowing everything down so but for them to say January yeah that's no its not that quick. the reason why I noticed is because I got family Dollar sales people at dealerships not like used dealerships like legit ones and on average it takes about a month and a half to two months so between a month and a half and two months for a car to get delivered.
