1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT review from North America
"Looks like it is going 100 standing still"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet, oh wait a small exhaust leak. 100$
General comments?
The power is there, not street racer power, but this thing was built for the turns, not the drag strip.
Seats are slightly uncomfortable to get in and out of, otherwise they feel good, long trips are OK.
I don't mind it not sounding like rice beater, I like the quiet rumble.
Looks are awesome, but I have always wanted one anyway.
Interior is good not wonderful. I wish they would have just gotten rid of the back seats, as they are useless. I am 6'1 and my seat touches the rear seat behind me.
Shifting is OK, although I'm sure mine has been raced.
Paint is slightly oxidizing, cleaned up real nice though.
Great car all in all. I have always wanted one, and now I've got it. Can't complain too much until I'm done with the payments.
