1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL review from North America
"Excellent Grand Touring Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Idle air flow servo malfunction; caused erratic idle and surge under no engine load. Inexpensive, simple fix.
Just don't hit anything: headlight assembly, $550.00!! Can only be ordered from factory in colour to match automobile.
General comments?
What can I say? It looks like a supermodel. Gorgeous curves and lines, with just enough wings and spoilers to be tastefully gaudy.
Non-turbo engine makes 222HP, which is enough to provoke the car into illegal speeds dangerously quickly.
Great grand touring car with power leather seats, adjustable suspension, sunroof, ice cold A/C, heated mirrors, and sweet sound system.
Still looking for a bit more power, but for now, she'll be more than adequate...
