1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL review from North America

When I bought the car it needed new tires and an oil change, the basic things cars need over time. At around 100,000 miles, the transmission died and had to be re-built.

I am 17 and I bought myself the SL model, and I love it! I bought it for the looks and I use it for a summer car. The 3000GT's are one of the nicest looking import cars made. Yeah, the new transmission was expensive, but worth every penny. I like the handling, the steering is very tight and accurate. Acceleration is quick. The only thing I think should have been improved was the weight. The 3000GT's are a very heavy car, thus making it difficult for the SL to live up to its 222 stock HP. These cars make great tuners and show cars. I do not advise anyone to drive these in the winter, they are horrible. I bought mine out of state in February '07 and I will simply say they are NOT a winter car. I bought mine stock and it has since turned into a fair chunk of my paycheck, buying upgrades.
