1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT Base review from North America
"Good car, if ya can find one cheap VR4 is worth every penny"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It was a used car so I figured it would have some problems. Alternator went out and let me tell you it is not fun to change one in this car.
General comments?
I bought this car as a daily driver because I am having my 93 RX7 rebuilt. I went out to find a sporty car and I found this 3000GT and I must say I got a great deal on it only paid $6000.
This is just a base so it is front wheel drive (my first sports car with front wheel drive). The torque steer is unbearable as is the under steer.
0 to 60 is good and the handling is OK. This car is very heavy, about 3300 pounds and only 222 horsepower.
If your looking for a non vr4 3000GT, buy a 240SX or the MR2.
