Used 1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT Consumer Reviews
I would do it again
I have owned this car for 10 years, cleaned and polished it regularly, maintained it religiously and enjoyed it thoroughly. This car is eye-candy and it still turns heads. Mechanically it is still reliable, but I had to replace the transmission and clutch (at 95K miles). I am keeping the car because I cannot find one that I like any better.
a keeper
parts for this car are very expensive but the car has been good to me as it needs nothing and i get compliments on it almost daily, i wouldn't trade it for anything

You will never go back to any other car.
After owning my Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 (a 1991, a 1994, and now a 1993), it seems like all other sports cars under $100,000 aren't up to the task of dealing with a +10 year old overweight luxury sports car. If you are lucky enough to come across a smartly modified 3/S Twin Turbo prepare to get humbled. The exterior is sharp and aggresive, the interior is open with exotic curves, and the gearing in the 1st generations are very long to accommodate the small fast spooling stock twin turbos that create the wide powerband. these cars reliability is only as good as the previous owner, a true sports car deserves true maintenance.

This is an excellent vehicle. I have had zero problems with this car for 100,000 miles except for the electric radio antenna and the tape player. Recently I started commuting 100 miles a day and my clutch slave cylinder went out about 105,000. At 110,000 my transmission has gone out. It started with it popping out of 5th gear when the gas pedal was moved, so look for that sign. But even with that, I have NO COMPLAINTS about this car, it is very peppy, sporty and reliable. I plan to replace the tranny and keep the car for another 100,000, it still looks good! A++++++++++++

The control, reliability, and overall interior and exterior perfectness of the car make it a keeper. Well worth putting a new engine in when the time comes -it's at 173K now and still starting and running perfectly. It will be a while before the time comes to replace the engine. I drive mine in town only from September to June, and summer months are spent driving up and down the west coast of USA, without incident. Just change the oil and it's ready to go, even at the 9 years old it is. No leaks anywhere, no lose parts making any noises, no electrical issues, just perfect as day one.
