Strength:
Turns heads, very stylish. Good handling, people don't know what a piece of junk the car really is when they see it drive by.
Weakness:
High cost for maintainance. Mitsubishi service will not talk to you about problem, they want you to bring it in and have them charge you $75 bucks to look at it, and most times this could have been avoided if they would have talked to you about it This car is the biggest joke since the Ford Edsel. Its slower than newer chevy silverados. This car has had several problems and ive only owned it for 4 months. The radio went bad, the A/C had to be costly repaired, it needs a clutch bad, it overheats in hot weather with the A/C on. The oil pressure takes forever to come up after letting it sit for 5 days or more. My advice : buy a real sports car, avoid mitsubishi and front wheel drives. Try not to be sucked in by looks. I was warned about the problems these cars had but i didn't listen because i had to have it because it looked cool. Well you don't look very cool sitting along side the road with steam pouring from under the hood now do you? Similar Products Used: Camaro Z28 - No comparison far better car. Easier to maintain, cheaper to maintain. |

Strength:
Everything. The unique options that you will only find on these cars include the active aero, active suspension and active exhaust. Not to mention that the Twin Turbos are on great way to blow that Camaro or Mustang away. HA
Weakness:
One guy once asked me what year Probe it was. That almost made me sell my car. Then I realized he was just retarded. There is a slight weight disadvantage to these cars. They are a little beefly on the scale. Personally, I got one hell of a deal on this machine. I love throwing mods on it and watching others look at me as I go by. Honestly, the car is nearly flawless. I only have had one problem with it and that happened at the dealers hands. How could you not want one of the 3000gts or a Steath. They are just a car that is waiting to yet be discovered. Sorry I posted my Stealth here but there wasnt a Stealth selection under the Dodge name and as we all know they are the same car anyway. Similar Products Used: LeBaron= Yeah right......Eclipse GSX= this is a close call. I love them both too much to say. Dont want to hurt their feelings |

Strength:
Reliability, looks, handling, many enthusists and lots of answers available at http://www.3si.org/
Weakness:
Front brakes (warping rotors regular issue on this car), moderately expensive to maintain (compared to my wife's minivan), normal things a car with milage has to keep me busy on weekends. Great car. Very reliable. Good handling in all weather. I have a 120 mile commute to work and it's an excellent highway ride. Good power, but I will be making some performance mods. Mine now has 125k+ miles. I changed plugs/wires at 120k and they were still in decent shape. No blow-by or other wear characteristics. Body is in excellent shape. Nice toys with ECS (Electronically Controlled Suspension, sport and touring modes), Electronic Climate Control, good audio system (will eventually upgrade), without all the "extras" that break on the VR4 (AWS, AWD, turbos), and without all the insurance $$$$ of the twin turbo! MUST keep up on regular maintenance, though. BTW, the engine info up top is incorrect; there is a SOHC, a 24 valve DOHC, and the DOHC w/ twin turbos. Similar Products Used: Supra, Dodge Stealth (sister vehicle), Eclipse GSX/Talon TSi, |
