I remember driving her off the lot 14 years ago and feeling like a million bucks. I still get that feeling today as this car is ageless. The body style is still far ahead of its time. She runs as well today and looks beautiful!. Have had regular maintenance, put on Faulken tires and she purrs. Great gas mileage too. About 29 on the highway. Edmunds has truly misjudged this car. It will be a "collectors car" as there are very few of them around. Still get heads turning and people stopping to look at her. Fabulous acceleration with the "power" button. Beautiful car that still seats 4 people.

Not as pleased

I agree with most of what has been posted regarding the reliability and handling. Pick-up kind of lags though. Suprisingly, I really don't like driving it too much-I prefer to drive my 4Runner! I'm 6' and I feel too tall for this car. It's hard to get in and out of, the roof is too low, and the visibility out isn't great-especially when you shine up the dash. It reflects into the windshield. Also many of the interior plastic bits have broken. I mainly am displeased with the interior. Outside it looks pretty sharp.

My week end GT

The car is fun to drive with a 5 speed manual trans. The car was built in 1994 and is sold in this country in 1995 it is now over 20 years old and still runs great. How ever any one buying one of these will see the maintenance cost is high, ie. clutch, crank shaft seal, timing belt, struts. The parts are not expensive its the labor required to make the repair. All ways keep this in mind when buying a 3000GT if you have the time and the equipment your self to do the work its not bad.

The Ultimate AWD Sports Car

The 3000GT VR-4 is the best all around sports car for the money. It is fast, fun and hard to beat. Its loaded with performance features and can be easily modified with big horsepower gains if desired. The 300ZX is just too small a car, and the Supra can't match the launch of the AWD 3000GT. Go with the Mitsubishi, you won't regret it.

Have a 95 VR4. Have fixed the rear spoiler that goes up and down 3 times at the same place in one month. Was out of waranty but Mitsu picket up the bill because the dealer screwed up 2 repairs. Have changed nothing but spark plugs at 60K, oil every 3K, and tires at about 30K. Thats it, no other repair ! You tell me what else is so reliable? With twin turbos ? Speed as long as you know how to shift it relatively fast at the start up, and will accelarate with no problems going 120MPH. At 90-100 you feel like you are going 20 - change lanes, stop, sverve, the car is rock solid.
