1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT Twin Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Fast, Attractive, Makes a statement... I CAN!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The active aero seems to be a problem on these cars, it seems to stick! It doesn't affect the car except in gimmick value!
Annoying thing is that it can be fixed by cleaning up the moving parts yourself in a few hours, or take it to UK dealers and they will try and stitch you up for a thousand quid!
Also, Gearbox is a bit notchy and needs some gentle care. This again seems a common fault with this motor.
General comments?
Looks like a super-model, fast as fury, what else can I say....
This car is a must-have. It has a few niggles but overall you just can't live without it! It's so good that I've made a web site for mine (www.3000GT.co.uk).
It's a shame the UK dealers didn't take a bit more pride in this motor and not just try to rip the customer off for all they can!
