2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Review: Better, But Too Rich
There’s an important rule that applies to both cars and clothing: never skimp on what touches the ground.
For cars, that of course means tires. (Here is where I am morally obligated to remind you of the importance of winter tires.) For us fleshy meat-bags, shoes are important, and the wrong set can seriously mess up not only your feet but also your posture.
Around a decade ago, I bought myself a nice pair of shoes. They weren’t cheap, but they were super-supportive and took a beating. I was hooked. Sadly, every few months the asking price ballooned up. By the time I was looking to replace my well-worn gray sneakers, another pair would have run me nearly twice as much.
I was reminded of this during my time with the redesigned 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. This is a solid compact crossover, one brimming with features and wrapped in an enticing shape (to these eyes). But in pricey top-level trim, Mitsubishi has pushed the Eclipse Cross into a fiercely competitive part of the market, where the SUV’s shortcomings become harder to justify.
