Crash Test: 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse

[carkid1953]

I luv eclipses

[anthony56172]

gets out the car...OH NO MY TRUNK FLEW OPEN!!!

[camouflagecamaro99]

NOOOOOOOO CRASH A FORD NOT AN ECLIPSE! D:

[Psythik]

Crazy how much the car flex during the impact.

[MyPaloma1995]

Twitter: @Tasherzonio i follow back

[AWESOME90190]

the trunk opened

[solarloco]

hah! maybe if whatever happens i should know how to crash... xD

[CCanoy93]

"hey hunny can you open the trunk?" "yeah, let me hit this white wall real quick"

[TexasGunslinger9]

*Faces Smashes Airbag*

2 Seconds Pass...

*Eggs hit back of head*

[Pery166]

only one airbag?? :-O

[hercules4612]

@Pery166 a recent car whit a passenger seat sensor =)

[djkt2]

@Pery166 and invisible side airbags :))) Well, it was just the driver so if had a passanger airbag it wont pop if there's no one on the seat.

[NikkoCharger]

@Pery166 the car only ejects the passenger airbag when there is so much weight so if you had a young child sitting there the airbag wont rip their head off

[Coxinho2]

i'd like 2 cry-beautiful car

[ALEXBAB1]

Did anyone see that the dummy's head has slipped on the airbag and hit the door? this means critical head injury and ZERO NCAP stars. The shitty part of the cabriosis the absence of the roof beams and courtain airbags. That's why the whole car is bending and the lateral forces are bigger. In order to make the survival cell more rigid, the cabrios should have small doors like BMW Z1, or no doors at all, which is impossible. Anyway the lateral airbags are mandatory.

[Clesarie]

All convertables versions of cars have shitty safety. Its called having no structal integrity.

[draco400095]

i bet he was texting

[l2pks4f3rs]

I liked watching the windshield break.

[phophel]

i just crashed my 2007 eclips this past saturday. some ass hole kid was doing 50 and hit me head on trying to beat a red light

the car is a total loss i would never get a new one after seeing the front end of my car

[Z28Dustin]

Well that's one less future ricer to worry about.

[tnguyen318]

How come they don't tell you how fast the car is going??

[narutojose2]

LOL WHO SAW THE CAR BEND?

[irshad6595]

Can see the whole body of the car flex. haha. sweet..

[YXYNicoYXY1]

0:34 poor car ._. :D

[theyellow240z]

I feel so much better now.

[MiniKonstii]

From the time of the impact to the time that boot closes, I bet a Nigger could steal everything up inside that bitch.

[Skampo1119]

It's made in America right? Eclipse is under Mitsubishi America since 1990s

[MrCauis]

0:34 to 0:35,

is that the floor bending?

[cadennen]

@MrCauis nope

[bergsteinlife]

looks like he wont be getting heard by girlfriend tonight

[RainyCityBoy]

if i crash my car, the first thing i worry about is my grocery. This test is a fail.

[Dualshock21]

well thats one way to get the trunk open...

[tonyjd12]

wow did you see the chassis flex in that?!

[darkolon0]

such a waste xD

[SuperStankful]

@darkolon0 yes a horrible waste. we should stop crash testing cars so we can have 5 more on the road.

THIS MANS A GENIUS!

[kolb3y]

poor car

...

[dzbebepnay]

so this is what will happen to me if i crash my car....

hmm...

not too bad.. looks like i need to buy a helmet.

[strumem90]

FINALLY!! after you crash you can find that pesky signal lever

[SinclairisCool]

What happens if you bulk buy tampons and have a crash in this?

[germankid16]

lol that remembers me of that woman getting pulled over by a cop and having her 3 kids in the trunk of the car instead of inside xD she better dont do that in a 07 eclipse

[Myuzaki]

@germankid16 grammar.... just terrible grammar...

[germankid16]

@Myuzaki okay. speak german and show me that you are better in a foreign language..

[Myuzaki]

@germankid16 well see i didnt know. i just thought you were being wierd

[3M00RI]

i dont want to know what gonna happen to the dummy when the car crashs from the side

[MrJoe2412]

This doesnt look safe at all. Not only is the front bumper etting dragged, but the trunk opened? Good job Mitsubishi!

[marlo916]

definitely looked like the head slid off the side of the airbag, might as well have missed it completely.... that's a broken neck for sure. no thanks

[renski1792]

@marlo916 that's probably because it's just a doll..The Eclipse actually has good reviews on safety.

[marlo916]

@renski1792 those "dolls" cost an enormous amount of money. you know why? cause they engineer them to react exactly like a human body in the event of a car crash and to relay every bit of that information to the computer. doll or not, this demonstration makes me not want this car.

[renski1792]

@marlo916 yea i guess you're right

[gab1971]

why does it look like there is a dead dummy in the trunk?

[slagathor2013]

Lesson learned here: don't leave your dead bodies in the trunk of an '07 eclipse.

[skagui1]

hehehe on second thought i might get a 2008 smart car for two

[ar15freak]

WTF!!! why did the trunk open???

[PCRampagE]

@ar15freak cause the dummy want hes beer? :)

[CrazyDave650]

WHY ARE ALL THE DUMMIES FLING SO FAR FARWARD IN THESE TESTS... ISN"T THAT WHAT THE SEATBELTS ARE SOPOSED TO STOP OR LIMIT?

[Hordesthugz13]

@CrazyDave650 depends on the car...

[WhatsPopinHomes]

@CrazyDave650 WHY ARE YOU YELLING?????

[JooseyJayRemade]

@CrazyDave650 Have you ever gone from 50-0 m/hr in a quarter second? Not a good feeling, most people die. Seat belt just softens it up.

[MattLoaf92]

Look at the way it flexes in the overhead shot.

[benbay001]

Thats a good score right?

[BrtshAmerican6]

@benbay001 well your car is destoryed, but you should walk away with possible back injuries and maybe a sprained neck with whiplash. if it wasnt the convertible your may ahve a possibility to hit your head on the coor part that goes up to the roof.. its poor. Also, the wheel going into the body of the car could make a foot injury possible.

[lenny7766]

thumbs up if you said shit when he got hit

[Zela1990]

Ale urwal

[dmenkhau]

But..but it was so GORGEOUS! T.T

lol

[rooberduk]

expensive :/

[SPHOMIEG]

LOL at 0:34, it looked like the drivers head completely missed the airbag!

[KroboFuentes]

@SPHOMIEG Is this one of those roll-overs I hear so much about?

[SPHOMIEG]

@KroboFuentes roll-overs?? its funny because its contextually funny, if that happened for real the only thing rolling over would be your head out the car....

[motorolarival3]

is the passanger airbag off?

[verkazzian]

@motorolarival3

Newer cars have advanced air bags that will not go off if the sensors in the passenger seat indicate that there is no passenger sitting there, or if the passenger is too light, since airbags are a big danger to kids and short adults.

[motorolarival3]

@verkazzian Oh I understand now ... thanks

[sonicxlc123]

yall just build cars an wast the entire car or just build the frame an half of everything els an leave the engine/transmission out?

[Phoxly]

@sonicxlc123 You have to test with everything, basically the final product a real person would be driving, including the heavy engine. (:

[blazzing4321]

Looks very cheap, 0:19 a little faster the car would of broke in half!

[Dell0304]

i love mistubishi eclipses

[kove42]

wrf? it is´nt safe! i don´t wanna sit there!

[Nick80x]

Very safe!

[MSNIMSM]

I hate Eclipse....Especially the convertables.....Now give that car to some teenage kid and watch him put a bunch of Pep Boys stick ons on it. lol

[Atheismrulez]

Too bad the engine is a piece of shit and so is the drivetrain.

[2000jeepsahara]

@Atheismrulez yeah seriously I hate these cars the plastics are so cheap and you sit on the floor.

[mlindgren1]

@Ethanerkul lol what r u talking about the airbag doesnt deploy when no one is in the seat.

[errorserver3000]

@Ethanerkul the airbag dosent activate unless someones sitting on the passenger side ... im not too sure why but im thinking so it saves the car??

[ike111111]

poor car :'(

[Cloudstrife1188]

Its called trunk release your idiots. Look it up its a safety feature. God, ignorants

[AndresRoddick1]

ggghaaaa noooooo

[MrBaybad]

ECLIPSE

city car or twilight saga.???

[3312cdfp5674]

@MrBaybad more like ricer

[MrBaybad]

city car or twilight saga.???

[holycow119]

i think the reason the trunk opened is cuz my dick twisted offset going in your mouth

[MrJuanmireles]

how much money doo you guys make for making this videos??? OR lose money??

[rayabbas]

i think the reason the trunk opened, is cause the car twisted. (offset)

[MowgliX]

These days even very small cars can take a horrific amount of punishment in a frontal collision. Side-impact protection is a MUCH more interesting area to test, because some 30 percent of all serious accidents are SIDE COLLISIONS! Also, in many (if not most) crashes, both drivers hit the brakes which will make the nose of the car point downwards. Why are not NCAP and Euro NCAP crash tests done in this impact angle? It would render dramatically different results I reckon.

[NFSlegends]

Noooooooooooo! :( waste of nice car

[BrownBrother27]

I found the Chrysler Sebring convertibles and Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyders share the same ratings on the Insurance Institutes' front and side crash tests although Chrysler and Mitsubishi have cut ties already.

[MDIVISIONRULES]

LOL when you crash you might have your groceries stolen as well

[krodx219]

hey, the trunk opened.

[NoVideoxD]

Holy shit...

[SlurpSilencer]

the car, to me, is cute and sexy!! HAHA

[SlurpSilencer]

they should have tested it running at 170km/h or sth similar. since it's a sports car, why do people wanna run it at just 60? isn't it pointless? i mean he/she might as well buy a corolla!

[smileyfreak24]

they¨are crash testing the cars at 64km/h. no theay should not crash test sport cars or any cars at 170km/h. no human would survive' that and the car would smash totally. they are testing the cars at 64km/h becaue thats the average of the speed of crashes in the world. and when they crash tests the car the are pushing it to the limmit. they are crashing into a big and hard metal block. a car is more soft........

[JcmMagNoo]

you can see the metal warp from the back

[fastlee93]

that was painful to watch lol

[OrcWyvern]

I got an eclipse 06 lol, it hurts to watch this lol oh shit

[deudeuchmania]

Pourquoi j'ai la désagréable impression que la tête du mannequin n'a pas eu un contact stable avec l'airbag?

[mmgoicochea]

@deudeuchmania tengo la misma impresion :/ pareciera que rebota no? :/

[coffeeandsugar20]

Why didn't the front passenger airbag deploy?

[eresgaytu]

cuz it have a sensor that detects when someone is seated and when not...and that desactivates or activates the aairbag

[Cloudstrife1188]

Because the sensor did not detect a passanger. Its safer that way in case the driver has to crawl out the passanger way. No air bag in the way

[DenLilleSatan]

because no one was sitting in the passanger seat... and with no seat belt on the airbag will not deploy.

If the airbags deployed without wearing seatbelts they will do more harm then good ;)

[KHROMATICxKHAOS]

@coffeeandsugar20 It didn't deploy due to the fact NO ONE was in that seat. Get with the future. All cars have that, you know the little Red triangle that's by the center consul, or where the airbag is, that means it only deploys when it senses weight is on it. So I recommend you don't put your daily goods(Food, beer, Cat/dog, or a baby) unless you can control the airbag from the consul.

[lsobboh]

It's a good thing the trunk pops open fools. It shows that the impact is transfered AROUND the car, not to the driver, hence why the car gets an overall GOOD rating in the test. Check out the Mustang crash video if you want something to laugh about...

[megadaniel25]

lawl pwned

[pancakewafflebacon]

and then someone jacks all your stuff

[MATTH3WW]

See thats why bad guys dont put bodies in the trunk of those cars!

[fishinfreak11]

lmao

[WhiteDemon87]

un auto q mantiene la integridad de la cabina y por ende la integridad de los pasajeros

[TailTactics]

yeah -bitch smeared blue makeup all over the air bag

[Transam941]

It's a good thing they crash test the Eclipse, especially when mostly women drive those things.

[Cloudstrife1188]

Does your mom drive one?

[delliswierd]

HAHA THE TRUNK JUST POPS OPEN!!!

[kylevk]

that way, after you crash your car, you can have a picnic with the food you left in the trunk!

[Cloudstrife1188]

HAHA ITS SUPPOSED TO!!!!!

[saibotmark]

in short ur an idiot VinnieDain

[roger778876]

which means you had a better car

duh

[ashjohnsonsen]

trunk flew open

[beaverpride19]

Oh shit! the body im keeping in there will fly out!!

Thanks for the obervsation

[brewyn243]

no sit

[wardude440]

ok so de car smashed at 30mph into a wall. and the trunk pops open?!?!?!? WTF!

[HalzerNarna]

Eclipse got a first aid kit in the trunk.

[Shuffle3956]

ya man you should have been there during the crash to push down on the trunk so it'd remain closed

[danohopo]

ye i was hit twice once at 90km/h and it didnt feel that bad then i was hit at bout 50 km/h and i broke my rib cage and had fractured skull in 3 places so it all bout wat way ya get hit ....................

[slodere]

whats the speed? My guess is around 80 km/h

[One3teen]

All the IIHS tests are done at 40mph/64 KM/h

[jhsuperfast]

you see how the crash test dummy head went down and towards the door looks like you need a airbag in the door or in the pillar

[RulerOFmany]

i have never seen a convertable in a crash test. i am saving up for this car!

[shunichi]

wow...it has an automatic bonet that will open during a collision....

haha...

[Corey2800C3]

they actually aren't cheap at all they are full of sensors and are worth over 100 000$

[Corey2800C3]

why can't crash test drivers just learn to drive....

[TV843]

Crash Test Dummies: I guess they come cheap and they don't need insurance.

[EduardoWasRight]

what means "M"?

[Kelvari7882]

Front Test: GOOD [G]

Side Test: GOOD [G]

Rear Test: MARGINAL [M]

[firebladesword159]

so wats does the (m) mean i still dont get it

[Kelvari7882]

It means "Marginal"

[gorrilaunit99]

poor dummy

[redwire2155]

mitsubishi made my elevater ..and i keep getting stuck in it :P

[bigboyrise]

M.M. (Mitsubishi Motors) it's not the same as Mitsubishi Elevators, same name, but they do different things, the Mitsubishi cars are not made by the same factory as any other electronics or elevators or whatever with the same name, so ye, if you get stuck in your elevator it's not M.M. fault / Also i can point you that Mitsubishi Elevator producers are Australian, and Mitsubishi it's definetly not. Any way... why wild any one compare an elevator with an car... stupid i gues...

[Sharod101]

i don't see any reason to hate mitsubishi or americans cuz of a few planes. stfu on who killed who n how many, they both remained loyal to their countries in times of war. so give it a rest. its not like they're intended plans from mitsubishi is to make cars so that they blow up on impact to kill more americans to make up for nagasaki n whatnot.

seriously suck it up, it happened like 60 years ago. you can't go back now n fix shit like that.

[Sharod101]

why does it make you better then to hate what they did. your still hating. its complete nonsense, get out of your childish minds, n be more tolerable.

wtf did airplanes have anything to do with the subject, so Mitsubishi made the Zero's n GM was responsible for the parts put on the F6F n whatnot, its not the same ppl in power over the 2 companies, n this had nothing to do with WWII either.

[cog011]

eventually you'll see how things are tied up.............

[573W1E6R1FF1N]

Mistubishi made some turbos for Saab

[yamaharider1997]

hate misubishi made planes to crash pearl harbor to kill

[OscarMaris]

The same people who worked for mitsu back then and made those planes, went on to form the yamaha motor group after the war, you fool.

[turreu]

hate Americans who made their planes which killed 270000 in Nagasaki. Only 2,300 died in Pearl Harbor, mate.

[yamaharider1997]

well who did it first mate

[qtiprocks23]

look at how bad convertibles rigidity are 0:17

[trk82]

yee realy

[djspazzin]

Looks like the dummy hit the trunk button! lmao.

[Finitum]

The driver stuffed his mate in the trunk!!

[whattheheck1000]

no that's electronic equipment used to measure loads on the dummy.

[OldTimeyJunk]

@djspazzin I'm not quite sure! The car goes from 60-0 in 1 second that it busts the lock open!

[KillanatorVids]

@djspazzin Haha, like, OMG! We are crashing! Open the trunk!

[biadieso]

at 0:19 - 0:22 what the fuck?

on a autobahn crash the car die.

[xtcskull]

thats nothing, I crashed at 140km and me and my friend were almost about to get killed. It was god's choice letting us live.

[xbitdesigns]

everybody make mistakes.

god too :D

[Scottydoo69]

woah thats so not intresting...

[hoodikov31]

nice car

[iamhack]

i hope u not survive from this car crash cause if u do u'll be fucked up when u call ure parents

[hoodikov31]

lol this is true

[aerosmithmunkee]

wtf bitch?

[oskarnikola]

wha de adder arbag not deplode

[HawaiiSurf10]

seems like every other person is an expert on crash tests lol

[clargdorp]

And after the horrific wreck some bastard can steal all your trunk contents.

[amdrunner]

I wonder what speed this is at? ..'cause the eclipse gets pretty messed up.

[TimTehPilot]

Looks like 60 mph
