Our Spyder tester was a GT model with a Dover White Pearl paint job. The Eclipse Spyder sports a look that dares you to go for a ride. We were pleasantly surprised that there was plenty of headroom for us, especially with the top up. Taking the power top down is easy. There are two clips at the front of the headliner and with a touch of a button the windows and top are lowered.
Visibility is obviously much better with the top down.
We found that with the top up, there's a horrible blind spot due to the fact that Spyder's top features a smallish glass window. The Spyder seats four, however, the back seat still isn't roomy enough for adults. But this all-new Spyder is much more civilized. After we turned the key and flipped our tester's automatic transmission lever into drive, we headed for the open road. The V6 is responsive and smooth throughout.
