Christian Wardlaw’s opinion of the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder’s Comfort:
Despite the lack of a telescopic steering column, I had no trouble getting situated in the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse’s driver’s seat. It’s wide and flat for a sporting machine, soft yet supportive, feeling terrific for a longer drive. I sit high enough, with a good view out, and while the upper door panel sill is hard plastic, I’m fine with crooking my elbow on the seam between the plastic and the soft vinyl door insert. Heated seats are nice since the Eclipse Spyder has a drafty interior, and the climate control system can keep you warm on chilly days as long as the side windows are raised. A telescopic wheel would be nice, but its absence is not a deal breaker for me.

I didn’t get into the back seat. What would be the point? There’s virtually no leg room, the front seatbacks are hard plastic, the rear seatback “cushion” is nearly vertical, and a third of the seatback is a hard subwoofer enclosure. This serves as little more than an extra place for luggage, which would then block the subwoofer and two other speakers mounted low in the side panels. Or, you can hoist your luggage over the tall rear liftover into the rather small trunk. Just make sure to pack light.

Thom Blackett’s opinion of the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder’s Comfort:
As a two-seater, the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder can be considered comfortable. You’ve got to fall into the low bucket seats, but once inside the driver and passenger will appreciate the firm cushions, decent bolsters, integrated headrests, and padded armrests on the doors and between the seats. Our tester featured a power driver’s seat for proper positioning as well as a standard tilt steering wheel.

Rear seat passengers are not recommended, as the rear buckets are inhospitable to even small children. There’s a quick-release button on the back of the front passenger seat that’s hard to get to, and crawling in with the top up is a chore. Get back there only to find a vertical seat back, flat bottom cushions, negligible foot and leg room, and wide plastic side panels lacking any armrests. To top it off, there are no cubbies, cupholders, or head rests for rear passengers, the front seat backs are hard, and a center armrest is impossible thanks to the placement of a subwoofer. Headroom is limited with the top up.

Ron Perry’s opinion of the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder’s Comfort:
I found the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder comfortable to drive. Seating is well bolstered and padded and the seat adjustments allowed me to find a comfortable driving position. On a cold morning the seat heaters will definitely keep your backside toasty and the heater will keep your front free of frostbite. These are two things you definitely need to work well on a convertible because you don’t want to drive one with the top up, even on chilly mornings. Wind buffeting is minimal, allowing for normal conversation at freeway speeds, but backseat passengers won’t be privy to whatever information is shared up front. Actually, if you can get passengers over eight years of age into the backseat they will be very uncomfortable. There is no leg or foot room back there with the front seats in a normal driving position.
