Max Kill
Strength:
wide wheel base, thus handling is super. I'm putting in quad exhaust, chip, and cold air intake to start.
Weakness:
I tend to burn up the clutch, but that could just be me beating on the car too much. I am well aware of the weight of this car. Perhaps what people are failing to realize are the possibilities in upgrades. Right now I own a standard 3KGT, but am going to purchase a VR-4 fairly soon. I say any 6 banger that, when given enough time and patience, can beat a viper in a flat race without nos, AND looks as cool as it does, is worth it. Besides, Where I am you can hardly find them anymore. I have to look in Florida just to get a VR-4 in the year and color I want. Similar Products Used: I used to have an Eclipse. I don't like the new Spider's body style. The 3000 definately has the look. |

4wd help grip the road on high speed turns.Turbo makes for faster acceleration. if it's still not fast enough use nos
Weakness:
weight I recomend weight reductions I think the 3000gt is the best car i've ever seen.Well the cars okay. I think there is a lot of competition with the 350zx,rx7,chevys corvette,and the toyota supra. Even through you can peel out,this car makes up the this flaw with speed. This car is really tight once suped up to the max.Still there are cars better like Lotus's Espirit v90.This car is cool if you have 113,000 to blow away. |

Strength:
Tons of grip, great looks. Mitsu's run along time( my car has 120k miles)
Weakness:
Do the math, power to weight ratio, this car is too heavy for it's own good. Not as fun to drive as an rx7. Gas milage? in a car like this who cares. if you have the extra money get the rx7 WAY better performer I must say 90% of these reviews are done my MORONS. Here are the facts about this car( I 've owned 2 ) it is not as fast as a same year rx7TT (i own one) or the Supra TT. If your buying a car for looks this is your car NOTHING and I mean NOTHING on the road in this price range is better looking. Shut up about ohh i can beat supra's . This car is a TANK weights just as much as a Jag XJ6. Yes it handles nice. But if you want better performance for the $$ get an Eclispe. Btw I got mine for $6k cause it had a bad turbo Similar Products Used: 1994 3000GT Base, 1993 Rx7 twin turbo |

Strength:
This is my first car and it is a beautiful car, the car really seems to turn heads on the road and even when parked. The body style is very cool looking, i love the way mitsuibishi made this car. It is a fast car as well!
Weakness:
My idle control seems to be messing up , i havent gotten it fixed yet . My engine seems to surge when its PARKED. I really dont feel like stalling out on the side of the road. Breaks make a deep screaching sound after 2 weeks of owning the car. Backseat is just pointless to seat any1 else unless they want to have there knees in there eyesockets. Cant see over the hoodd really and the front head lights arent any help on the road. Nice sleek lookin car, grabs attention, great car if you plan on only riding you and someone else. Similar Products Used: 1999 Firebird convertible, Im hoping to get rid of this car soon sadly, maybe a year and my next year is going to be either a firebird or a trans am....NOW THATS A REAL CAR!! |

Strength:
The 320 horsepower engine is very uniqe. and the sound of the engine isnt to load as if in a mustang or corrvette.
Weakness:
one problem is that you cant burn the tires down to the rims. Im in highschool and i like to drag and i lost a lot of money because i tried to burn the tires down. This car is the bomb. It is nice looking and has the speed to blow out almost anything on the road. |

Mistusbishi 3000 GT VR4
Strength:
The handling is unbelievable with the AWD, like its on rails. The stock 320 horse is good in this car. I wouldn't want any less for this heavy of a car. Love the interior, like being in a jet cockpit, respectable sound system, nice steering, comfortable, definitely a conversation piece. All my friends have asked me to allow them to drive it. I did let one drive it one night. Let's just say he wanted to know what it would do. He found out. Told me it was the fastest and best handling car he' ever driven. I would agree with that. Since I'm married I can't attest to it being a babe magnet. (My wife told me to say that.) The looks are so unique it draws people. I've had numerous people walk up and ask me it I would sell it.
Weakness:
I hear it is real common to warp the rotors. I know you can do that autocross racing. I had the transmission and clutch replaced when I got it at 25000 miles under warranty. The prior owner was rough on this car. My mechanic gave me specific instructions not to try and smoke the tires. Can't do it, you'll burn the clutch. AWD digs in and won't sping the tires. When we pulled the old clutch out it was pretty obvious the prior owner tried it more than once. Felt like he was rough on the transmission as well. There are more things to go wrong on this car, I'm sure. Although I have not had any problems with my VR4. I don't find the service that much more than other cars I've owned. I do have the dealership do all my service instead of trying to do some myself. This is probably not the car for a backyard mechanic unless you're real good. Pretty special car. I've been told a couple of things you want to do even though they are not scheduled is keep the transmission oil changed and replace the water pump. I would recommend this car to someone that can appreciate and take car of one. The gas mileage is acceptable for a car in its class. If you want gas mileage think a small This VR4 is my all time favorite car. My VR4 is black with tan leather interior. I owned a base GT model and made the mistake of driving this VR4 while getting the other one serviced. Had to have it. So we traded cars. It's a pleasure to drive. AWD, AWS, twin turbo, 320+ horsepower 6 speed, etc. Awesome car. This is car is a sports car, not a family economy car. Yes, it has a back seat for very small people. This car needs to be treated with respect and maintained properly. If you do oil changes when you get around to it, I would not recommend a VR4. Any turbo car or for that fact any true sports car needs special attention to its needs. As I have with all my cars, I learned it needs and got real friendly with the service people at the dealer. I've read the other reviews here saying that this car is expensive to repair. Probably is, but that has not been an issue with mine. I am just getting ready to do the 60,000 mile service and timing belt replacement. The only issue I've had with it is I wrapped the rotors autocross racing it. I wouldn't recommend that for this car, too heavy. Even though my car is stock except for the K&N air filter, I know people that have gotten unbelievable preformance from their VR4's and Stealth RT's. And you can do it in stages depending on how crazy you want to get. Well, 400-500 horses would be nice Similar Products Used: '94 3000 GT base model, '89 Merkur XR4Ti, '83 280 Z Turbo, '78 Datsun 280 Z non-turbo, '91 Nissan 240SX, '68 Shelby Mustang GT 350, '76 Pontiac Trans-AM, |

Strength:
Pretty car, fast, agile, sexy, sleek, gorgeous, fast,and fast, and it is so much fun to drive...
Weakness:
Heavy, as we all know already. Costli to repair anything. I blew a connector rod, and I can''''t tell you enough take care of this car, when it goes it goes, and it aint cheap to repair it... This is my third one. Ilove this car. It is insane!!! I wish it wasn''''t so heavy, but at least it is strong. I had a 1990 300zx, and I loved it, but it''''s not my 3000gt vr4 Twin Turbo. It is fast, and with a few minor after market parts(if you can find them), this car will our-run most any car you pull up next to. Don''''t let the haters fool you!! The 3000gt will beet any civic, integra, prelude, camaro,mustang, or tras-am. If you juice it, it''''ll run down any vette,viper, or supra... Similar Products Used: 1984 300zxTurbo,1990 300zx, which are both relatively good cars. The 90 Z I had was definately one hell of a car, but not my 3000gt vr4 Twin Turbo!!! |
