Favorite Car Yet
I bought this car new, .3 miles on it. It's been a great car to drive. It handles very well (GTZ has sport suspension), and has a good amount of go when I want it. I have driven this car like I stole it from day one and it has taken most of the abuse. I have replaced the rear bearings once at about 90k, caused by cheesy caps on the inside of the rear hub rusting out. Blew up torque converter around 120k resulting in replacement boneyard trans (very, very rare issue, probably my fault). I have almost 180k on it now, getting some rust, need some bushings, O2 sensor, haven't replaced timing belt ever. Still starts and accelerates like the day I bought it every time.
Decent enough car, poor resale value
We bought this car during the '0-0-0' deals for when we were cash poor. It has been a pretty decent car - fun to drive, comfy, and pretty reliable - but now that it's time to trade, we're taking it on the chin. The V6 is peppy and responsive with OK economy. Handling is OK with the right tires. The interior is solid, but Mitsubishi cut too many corners - small console, no rear dome light makes the back seat DARK at night, and very limited storage space. If you can find one used, it's probably not a bad choice, but let someone else take the new car depreciation hit.

Galant Lover, Hot body, Sexy tail ...
This piece of art should be placed in the museum someday. How did they make the exterior look so high class? I just love all the lights, the placements, the designs, and the options. If only the accelation was even better and more sensitive this would be the ultimate racing machine. Girls dig it, women wants it, boys are jealous and men just don't have enough gas to hunt this sexy beauty down, except for the rich folks. I wish everyone realized what a historical piece this will become and how safe, fast, smooth, reliable, fair pricing, and cool looking driving pleasure this is. Is a different feeling, being a parent and can still look young and cool. Be that parent, my friend! You will feel FREE!...
Fun to Drive, But...
I have owned my GTZ for a year and half. Since date of purchase the car has received one new side airbag, TWO new rear speed sensors, a new battery, the weather stripping over front head lights has been replaced, and the 'Inifinity' radio no longer ejects or accepts CDs. Additionally , I had to have the brake rotors turned and the pads replaced myself since the Dealership would NOT warranty them! The car is great to drive, difficult to own.
Fun car.. air bag problems...
I have owned my GTZ for a year and I have the SRS light on. It appears that the passenger side air bag is a known issue (at least that is what the dealership told me) and its a ongoing problem. So far however, its a fun car to drive. The engine on the GTZ really sucks because its the same as the ES V6. I mean, its got less HP than a V6 accord and this car is screaming to have like 225HP. The suspension/handling on the GTZ is just super and very true. I can zip in and out of traffic with little problems and going up in the mountains, I feel very confident in the tight turning parts of I-80 into Reno.
