There's nothing like that new-car look, especially when it comes to the cabin. You know what I'm talking about. An unblemished dash. Pristine floor mats. Seats that haven't been worn by the stress of a daily commute...
It's a difficult look to hold on to, especially as far as our long-term vehicles are concerned. Fed a steady diet of road trips and family outings, it's little wonder that many of our haulers are quickly relieved of their bloom of youth.
Nearly 10 months into its stay with us, the Mitsubishi Eclipse is proving to be an exception. The leather that drapes its seats has turned out to be remarkably durable, with nary a scratch despite the countless torsos it's cradled. The dash has somehow managed to dodge scuff marks. Even the floormats are still looking good as new. But the biggest surprise is the suede that trims its seats. I would have bet money that this would be frayed by now, but it still looks as rich as it did the day the car first rolled into our garage.
