1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL review from North America
"A polished lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission failed and was replaced around 20,000 miles.
Timing belt tensioner failed at 90,000 miles. (Required replacement of timing belt.)
Various leaks (oil, transmission) and other problems throughout the life of the car.
General comments?
The car is comfortable to ride in and drives very nicely.
The mechanical aspects of the car have been an intermittent nightmare since I bought it.
