1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT Base review from North America
"Sharp, sexy, heavy, expensive woman"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
More things have gone wrong with this car than I can remember.
Replaced alternator twice.
Replaced mass airflow sensor.
Replaced brake pads numerous times.
Replaced radio antenna.
Replaced front shocks.
Replaced power steering.
Replaced valve stem seals at 120K miles when it began to burn oil (horribly long job).
General comments?
Nice size cabin.
Heavy... but has some power.
LOTS of road noise.
Uses 93 octane... big minus.
Front wheel drive... not sporty, but good in snow.
A/C kills horsepower.
Mass airflow sensor VERY expensive, and always gives problems.
Check engine light seems to be on all the time.
It's a sharp car. Lots of positive comments... but no one realizes how much trouble it is.
