1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL 3.0 DOHC

Summary:

3000gt's are extremely nice, but they are expensive!!

Faults:

The rear wiper motor was broken when I bought the car.

The dimmer switch recently went out.

I had to replace the passenger side front caliper at 65,000 miles.

All of the factory speakers are busted except for the front passenger side.

General Comments:

This car is extremely quick and reliable. I have never gotten in my car and it not start. Everything has performed really well except for the small things mentioned above.

This car grabs a lot of attention, especially when it is clean.

I would recommend this car to anyone that is ready to pay a lot to maintain it.

It only gets around 22 miles per gallon.

My Honda got around 38 miles per gallon.

If you want a car that everyone will notice, including your checking account, then buy one. If you are looking for a cheap car with cheap maintenance then do not purchase this car.

You are on the dot right about every bit of this cars performance. I just recentley bought an SL model and have had some transmission problems. Over all, the attention I get in it is unbeleavable.

I don't see how you can say your car is expensive to maintain?.you've had very little go wrong with your car, but you put it down?. I've had nothing go wrong with my 3000GT apart from a CV joint which cost $104.00.My previous car was a Chevy Malibu which I owned the car from new and after 2 years I had already spent $6,000.00 fixing it.

Cool and reliable

Door molding clip broken. Keeps hitting the fender (making the door difficult to open).

Plenty of "get-up-and-go".

Tons of compliments.

Handles like a dream even at high (100+) speeds.

At 3,500 pounds, it's too heavy for any hard-core street racing.

Excellent braking.

Yea, like anyone would buy a poor excuse for a car like the mustang over a vr4... get real...

With regard to the above comments, a cobra isn't exactly in the same league as a vr-4, or rather a vr-4 is not in the same league as a cobra. The comparison makes little sense because the cars are nothing alike. In terms of design ingenuity I believe the vr-4 does win over the mustang though, because it not only closes the horsepower gap with a turbo, but also mitigates the turbo's primary weakness, lag, with a twin turbo. Mitsubishi packed quite a few nifty gadgets into the 3000GT, especially the vr-4 and it is my personal opinion that all of these features allow a V6 like 3000GT VR-4 to not only give a mustang V8 a run for its money, but beat it. In the same way that the GSX is so impressive with its powerful combination of turbo and 4 wheel drive, the VR-4 is formidable machine. In all honesty, I personally think a better rival for this car is the supra, assuming both are unmodified mind you.

This is an amazing car I got it a year ago and i never want to get rid of it. It handles like a dream. I will never get rid of this car even if it dies on me and becomes no use to me anymore i will still keep it. It is such an amazing car!
