I was excited when I bought this beauty and am still excited almost 20 years later. She is still gorgeous, rides great, looks fabulous and I just can not part with her. My siblings make fun of me for keeping a car so long, but I truly can not help it. The engine hums like a baby and you don't even know it's on when you come to a stoplight. Power? She can beat them all, but I am one of those "slow" drivers anyway, so it doesn't matter. She sticks to the road around turns and sometimes when I am in my pickup, I forget that the pickup can't take the turns like the 3000GT can. Whoops! It was a midlife crisis thing when I bought her, and now, at 64, I am still in the midst of the crisis.

First year out model; I saw it on the billboard advertisement and just knew this was MY car. After 225K miles, I replaced the engine & transmission. The A/C was converted from the old freon-type. Everything is factory stock with the exception of new door speakers. I have to replace the leather seats someday soon but other than that, I am still lovin' my car as though I just bought it. I'd rather not put anyone or anything in the small tiny backseats so I lay the seats down for added baggage room. As expected, any new parts are hard to find & are at a premium price. I still average 22 MPG & 19 years later, I can hardly wipe the smile off my face when I'm in my car!

I bought my 3000 GT/SL new in May, 1991 and in Oct. 2008 it still runs like the day I drove it off the lot. Great pick-up, tight handling, fun to drive. Even with 187,000 miles on it, I'm still loving it! Never had a major breakdown in all these years, just a few minor repairs. I can't say enough good things about this car!
Very unique

Overall, probably the best car every created. Not a cheap car to maintain, but work the cost for what you get. Stock over 300 hp with 307 ft-pounds of torque. The only cars that can to that today are the exotics and the corvette

This car is amazing by far! Back in 1991 it had set the standard for the automotive scene for good. This car was way ahead of its time. Topping out all of the competitors out there. I've only just begun on the long road with this car and it has had it's up and downs. The downs, being my fault and the person I purchased it from. But overall. This car is amazing to drive. The Turbos are great when they are fully spooled and push you back into the seats. The exterior is a flawless design, and the interior is to die for. I agree the back seats are to small for anyone. But the two front ones are perfect for either just me, or me and my lady. I highly suggest anyone to get this car.

I bought this car for myself 3 yrs. ago when I was a 45 yr old. Some say I was having a male mid life crisis. But if you ever drive one of these you will fall in love with it too. I feel the 91 year was the best year for these cars. It is now 2007 and the styling of 1991 still works today. I especially like the flip up head lights that later models don't have. I am 6'2" tall and I have no problem fitting in this car. There is power everything. The gauge cluster setup is spectacular and easy to read. Handling and braking are excellent. The only problem I have encountered in 3 yrs. of ownership occured last Thursday. My 18 yr. old daughter totaled it out. She rear-ended a stopped vehicle at 60 mph.
Great Longterm Car

I've been driving the 1991 VR4 for 15 years with only minor repairs here and there, adding up to between $250 - $1,500 per year. What a Head Turner. Great Performance. Rear seats are small, but fold down so you can pack a lot into this car. Safe car, AWD really sticks to the road. Excellent stopping ability. Gets 18-23 mpg. Seat belts don't retract well, and new tires are expensive. LOVE this car though. Fun to Drive.

I bought this car with 78,000 miles and now at 94,000 miles it still runs like a champ. This car will take newer v-8 mustangs, subaru wrx's, cobalt ss easily. Great styling inside and out, have had it mistaken for a brand new car often times. If you can find one with low miles, definitely snag it.

18 months ownership of my 91 TT and I still love to drive it. I grunt like a wrestler getting into it but once in my 6 ft 3" is fine and I don't get reviews that say over 6 ft is a problem - adjust the seat! I live in the ideal place for a GTO - New Zealand with a whole south island full of empty fast roads. The week spent her is THE most enjoyable fast driving I have ever done, and that includes 4 x 911, 5 x Corvettes, De Tomasso, Lotus x 2, Cobra Replica, BMW 635, Audi Quattro. And for a car I paid $6000 dollars for! Keep it serviced regularly, at a main dealer or specialist and it is the flash looking exotic car with massive performance you always wanted with ownership costs.

0 to 60 in just over 5 secs. 60 to 120 in a heartbeat. Goes into a 35mph curve at 85mph and comes out north of 100MPH! Tires stick to the road like glue. Yesterday it sucked a Jag Xjs up one exhaust and spit it out the other. Easily blows the doors off a Mustang 5.0 SHO.

Ive had my 3000 for 2 yrs now and it's a great spring and summer car. The handling is amazing when I'm cornering turns and off the line it speeds past cars like they're standing still. With a few mods i turn this kitten into a tiger. To me it's a keeper till the end

The 3000GT SL is a pretty good car thats really quick. The only thing to watch out for in 3000GTs is one that smokes after sitting at idle. My car slowly burns oil. It doesnt really harm anything, the car still hauls a$$. Some do tend to do this with old age but only after a long idle.(mostly only on really hot days) One good step on the gas, a quick puff of smoke and your off with no other smoking. Car still runs great though with no other problems. Turns heads everywhere I go. Great looks inside and out. Get one!
Great Car

This is a great car. I've had mine for over two years. This car has great handling and more than enough power to haul it around. I dropped in a used engine from japan with 40,000 miles on it. Since then i have put about 16,000 miles on it and haven't had a single problem.
Best Car for the money

The 91-93 VR4 is the best deal out there. Looks like an expensive sports car and performs like one without shelling out $40-50,000 bucks. All wheel drive and steering handle well in ice and minimal snow conditions, although when the snow gets deeper than about four inches it completely bottoms out with all four spinning. Fuel economy is awesome for a heavy car with 300+ hp getting about 24 highway. If you buy one plan on having everything from mustangs to ferraris wanting to race you at stoplights. Wave at almost anything in your review mirror at you pull away.
Owned for 11 years and still happy

The SL is great. This is a fun car, fast, great handling, good looking, and I can not find a replacement that is under $50,000. I only had 2 Problems at 10,000 miles a computer glitch. and at 105,000 miles a leak in the water pump. After 11 years I still love it.

This is my first sports car. It handles like a dream and responds to the slightest movement of the steering wheel. I like the pick up the car has. It is quick. Some refer to it as a poor man's Viper. The only problem I have with it, is that the suspension isn't the best, it's a little rough at times. I feel this car is a comfortable ride maybe a little to much, I wouldn't recommend driving it if you are tired. Mine tops out at 135 mph. but then again it does have a lot of miles on it. Getting in and out of it is a little rough but not anything I would gripe about.

I owned this car for about 12 years. I recently traded this in with a heavy heart. No other car compares to this baby. I got a 7 series - but guess what - I miss my VR4. Imagine that. The 7 is sweet - but the VR4 is a BLAST! Handles like a dream - oh and I have had it on some very curvy roads in Missouri. Sticks to the road. And acceleration - you say jump and it flies. I have had my share of tickets - and sometimes the cops could not believe their eyes. Those were the days - that was THE CAR!

Bought my '91 3000GT VR4 in 1999 and it has performed outstanding ever since. Besides routine maintenance have had no major problems. It'll dust any car off the line making them look silly. It is easily the most fun car I have ever driven and turns heads.
the best car in the world

I love my VR4. Its flashy, fun to drive, and is pretty reliable, especially considering all the electrical toys. After 150K I expect some problems, and routine maintenance takes care of everything (except my fried computer last year). I'm about 6'5" and while there isn't much room left, I feel pretty comfortable.
