This is one of the best cars Mitsubishi has made. It is faster than the V6 and hangs with the V8 GT Mustang and it's only a 3.0 Liter V6 Engine. I love the way people turn to look at it.

Solid car just hit 100K miles and still no rattles or noises and runs and shifts as new. It has good power with the 5 spd...much better than our Stealth R/T auto. Handling is very nice and tight if you upgrade the rear swaybar to the bigger Addco bar and it stll rides smooth unlike most sporty cars we've had. 60K maint is important since it's a quadcam engine the belt won't last forever.

I bought this car in Dec. of 1998 and this car had no mileage on it. The car now has 50000 miles and its running great except for this ticking noise when the engine is cold. I have not had any problems with it thus far and I am very pleased with it.

This car has a timeless design. I haven't seen any new car that matches its lines, both inside and out. The interior is beautifully done and is very comfortable to drive around town and long distances. It has the appearance of a world class sports car and always catches eyes when its clean and shiny. It's a shame Mitsubishi stopped making them in '99!
AMAZING

Great car. I've had one for about two years now and I still love it as much as the first time I drove it off the lot. Its got about 90,000 miles on it and the only thing I've had to replace is the clutch but the previous and only owner was a woman. Go figure but it's a pretty amazing car.

Ive owned 2 of these bad boys and i love em. the only thing that suprised me was how fast it lost its value. otherwise i strongly advise getting one if you can.

Since this is a 10 year old car it still has the shape of a new sports car today. I have a budget and wanted a car with a reasonable price. The headlights look like a jag and the doors have indentations like a viper. Since I'm a girl it's aggravating not having man hands to check under the hood. I don't drive it everyday but when I do it is puts myself in total bliss. I have hip and back problems but it rides so comfortable. Sometimes people stop me to comment how beautiful it is because there aren't very many in this area.

This car without a doubt is my favorite car of all time. I have a 98 SL 5spd and the pickup and power is nice. Although it's not a car for roll races on the highway. Off the line though it can upset some pretty fast cars like mustang GT's. Overall it's a great car, pretty quick, and a major head turner. I'm currently selling mine to get a Vr4.

This is the best looking car I've seen in a while. If you're going for looks, get this car, if you're going speed, get the turbo. This car turns a lot of heads with its looks, and $2,000 dollar rims. When I bought mine it had a 3 stage pearl white paint that was in excellent condition, a huge rear spoiler that looks great, and leather interior. It's slow off the line, but that could be just do to the automatic transmition. It comes with an economy/power switch, that helps the performance a bit. Personally I prefer the looks over the performance. Overall in my opinion this is a great car and it was worth the $12,000 cash that I paid for it.

I just bought a 1998 Mitsubishi 3000GT and all I can say is that I'm in love. It drives very smoothly for a sports car and I like the way everyone looks at it as I drive down the street. This is not my first Mitsubshi, I also own an Eclipse that I drove the heck out of. I've been very pleased with my cars.

I've had this vehicle for over five years now. I bought it in late 99' and saved $12,000 from the original $36,500 retail price. It has just over 40,000 miles on it now. I have not yet had a single problem with this vehicle. I'm 6'2" / 190lbs. and I do fit in the car fine, but someone taller or over 250 pounds would likely not be comfortable. The back seat is pretty much useless unless you're driving around someone under the age of 8. The performance on the SL is decent overall. The handling is great, It's a little slow off of the line, but better than the average car out there. Stock it has 220 HP, but I recommend getting a filter intake performance kit to knock it up to 230-240HP for under $100. It looks great!!

20 years old now with only recommended maint needed, 116K just did the 2nd timing belt change (60k intervals) old one still looked good but not worth taking a chance, still runs smooth no oil cosumption always ran rotella t6 and rides silent no rattles or other noises, no surprises, garaged Pearl White paint and Black interior still look new, larger rear sway bar added and RE760 Potenzas on wider rims really gave it grip and quick turning upgrade. Great highway car 26 to 28 mpg cruising. The manual trans performs much better than our Stealth RT auto but otherwise same car. Cool car always gets looks and a great long term keeper it seems the 90s produced some very solid uncomplicated cars, passes emissions and never had a check engine light. Weak points are window regulators or Stealth drivers side broke at 90k so I took the 3000GT one out before it broke and reinforced the to plastic roller part that gets brittle and grease it working perfect still.

I have a Caracas Red 1998 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL automatic in concours condition. People jump out of their cars at red lights to take pictures, and everywhere I take it, it is a source of attention and awe. I've owned multiple corvettes, Avanti's, a gull-wing Mercedes, a Bricklin, and even a Delorean....NONE of those are as pleasurable and versatile to drive as my 3000GT. A guy in a Mc Laren gave me a thumbs up at a red light the other day. To call it a head turner is an understatement.... Cars costing 50 to 70,000 more don't even begin to attract the same attention. I will NEVER sell it.

I've only had my 1998 Mitsubishi 3000GT for less than a week, but I am very pleased so far. It is Pearl Green and is in Mint condition with only 56,000 miles on it. It looks almost brand new inside and out. I know it's not the VR-4 or the SL, but hey, look at the bright side (with gas prices like they are, I can use 87 Octane, while those models require 91 Octane). It's still pretty quick off the line anyway. If I had the VR-4, I would probably lose my license due to speeding tickets.

This is my second 3000GT, my first one was 1995 model, and I traded in 1998, I have a same model and same color- Red...it is fun to drive. My current mileage is 127500, and still running great. Good handling, and I put on snow tires in winter, and no problem for the snow. I like it.
