Pros:
Most important; Its fun to drive.
The styling is unlike every other car on the road.
Most aftermarket part costs are reasonable and available and, if youre a mechanic, you can handle most repairs.
I have over 200k miles on mine and am thinking about getting a long block and restoring it.
Cons:
Automatic Transmissions do not last in this model no matter how its driven. As a rule they die way shy of 100k miles and are not cheap to have rebuilt. Mine needs a 3rd rebuild.
As with most cars their age insurance companies will consider even the most minor fender bender a total loss; a minor incident with mine that caused it to need a fender, headlight assembly, fascia and paint resulted in the insurance company totaling it.
I am not aware of any additional insurance available that considers it a special vehicle.Sep 19, 2020

This is hands down the best, fastest, most beautiful car I have ever owned. It makes you want to drive. Good on gas, good in snow, faster than most production cars and looks like it is from the future. Get one if you can.Dec 13, 2014

performance: great reliable performance, AWD, AWS, handles great.
build quality: center diff (viscous coupling unit) split the pins. causing 1 of the cogs 2 get ground up. very expensive to fix ( car was second hand with ~150,00km on the odometre )
apperance: very sleek. very sporty. and it looks the goods.
cost of ownership: feul economy is great for a 3L twin turbo. the cost of parts are expensive and hard to find.
fun factor: this car is awesome to drive. so much fun, and extremely fast.May 30, 2010

Its faster than your car.My car is not a ricer. Its nicer than your car. And its on jackstands more than anyones car. My little turbos will walk your big turbo from a dig. And its 11 years older than the brand new car daddy just bought you. And it has more luxury options than your daddy's Lexus.Oct 08, 2009

The car is great overall, It's a blast to drive, gets looks wherever I go, and is quite comfortable to ride in. surprisingly my car apparently has less rattles than a certain 2007 Mustang with ridiculously low mileage. Mileage is decent, around 25 during the summer. Styling both inside and outside is amazing, people rarely think the car is 11 years old. I've had nothing major go wrong in the year or so I've owned it, but I've had to fix a couple small things like an exhaust leak, etc.. Overall I'd recommend a 3s to anyone. Just do your research before buying. Feb 20, 2009

The car has got looks that kill. It is a very reliable car and decent on gas. Handles good for a fwd car too. The only problem is the thing is severly underpowered. Think old saturns and grand ams. Well maybe not that bad but you get the point.Jan 14, 2009

I recently purchased this car because I couldnt stand driving an SUV anymore. and I have to say its a great change, this car seeing as its not the TT AWD version isnt as fast as its bigger brother, but it still looks every bit of the part! I have people constantly asking me if its turbo, VR-4 ETC, and it gets looks just about everywhere I go. You don't see too many of these cars and that is a reason I love it.Jun 09, 2008

it was my first car, a manual. He needed a lot of work because it was a 1993 ( only pics of the 98) , and if I had been able to fix him back up it would have been a freaking awesome car. But even with the wear and tear and age, it was still really really fun to drive. Had some power and pick up for a rice burner.Apr 02, 2008

how to go about selling my Mitsu 3000GT SL
I am selling my 98 Mitsu 3000GT SL with 78,000 miles on it. I'm the original owner. It's been garaged and driven solely by an adult female. Just passed inspection. It's been kept up and in good condition. How do I go about getting my best price for it and finding the right market to advertise in?

I am having a problem with my 1998 3000gt. WhenI use the left blinker it makes a buzzing noise and theblinker does not always work. It only happens when I use the left blinker? Is it a short?, or is ther something wrong with the switch/relay. It seems to be draining the battery. Help, please.Mark

My 98 3000 gt wont start
New starter,all starter wires replaced, Turn key it clicks, and all power and lights vanish till I release the key. Im also pretty sure I hear the starter slowly turning against the flywheel.. kinda a clic clic sound.. I can push start it just fine, but if I hold in the clutch and turn the key while the cars running, it clicks one time and dies instantly
