The Eclipse Spyder is a great car. Probably it does not sell as well because it's a mid-point between a young man's car and a mature car.
The car is very reliable, as far as the V6 goes. In Mexico we only get the V6 with the premium and "sun and sound" options. I've NEVER heard complaints about the car.
I recently bought an Altima Coupe. One of my options was the 4G. I did not get the 4G because:
1. It has a big engine with less than average relationship between displacement and Power. The car comes with a 3.8 V6 that outputs 260 HP. The Nissan has a 3.5 V6Engine with 270 HP. That's an 11% better output with close to 10% less displacement.
2. The Eclipse has a "less-mature" look to it. I kind of like the "older guy" look on the Altima.
3. I do not like the interior on the 4G.
I like Mitsubishi's product so far. I had my 3G and my parent's 2008 Lancer GTS to base my opinion on Mitsu.
A car is a VERY personal thing. If you are "feeling" the 4G Spyder, go for it. I like that orange colour you mention.
Blindspots, turning radious, etc... you get used to. You cannot get used to driving a car yuou hate.
Good luck with your purchase, do let us know what you ended up getting.
