All dlrs. have been notified of broken '97-'99 GST tops by Mitsu. Kit is offered ONLY to dlrs.Cost is $500,L&M, we've been back 3x's.The rear window is documented to needing repair.It doesn't stick to liner.The dealer screwed that up too.Mitsu notifies dlrs. of problem but will NOT recall anything. Carmaxx gaves us paperwork that says the GST came with anti-lock brakes,but it doesn't.They told us "oh well,tough sh--"!!

I bought my '97 new after a lot of careful consideration. It's never been driven on salty roads and it rarely comes out of the garage when there is rain in the forecast. For 22 summers, I've enjoyed releasing it from it's winter cover and riding around with the breeze in my hair. I can wear a baseball cap without fear of losing it, and it's a joy to drive. At 89,000 miles, I am still on the original brakes. The only things I've had to replace are the canvas top (which deteriorates over time), a top motor (which got a little lazy with the tight new top), and a starter. I run ultra-high performance summer tires on it so I can zip through turns. I still love the roadster feel and the zip of the turbo four and with the five speed transmission, it loves to be driven. There aren't too many of this era on the road today, and I get comments all the time when I'm out. This baby is the best way to enjoy a nice summer day!

I have owned this car less than a year. In that time I had to replace the engine, turbo, struts, and numerous other problems. It has spent more time in the shop than on the road. The top leaks, it's noisy, and has a poor ride. This car is junk! I puchased it with 64K miles. Just traded it in for a new Accord. PLEASE AVOID IT! I have spent over six thousand on repairs for a $8500 car! JUNK JUNK JUNK! Be aware!
