The 3000GT VR4 is the best handling car I have ever driven, with its all wheel drive, all wheel steering, active aero, and electronic controlled suspension allows it to rip through corners. This car is easy to drive in any weather, four season supercar! Overall the car looks fantastic inside and out! The seats are comfortable and the power of the car is mind boggling! I recommend this car! It keeps up with if not overtakes all of these new sports cars including the Subaru STI, Mitsubishi EVO, Audi...

This is my third Mitsubishi VR4 and I simply love this car. I think its one of the finest cars ever made and has everything to impress everyone.....from great styling to excellent power....... from removable glass top to all the other bells and whistles like ECS, Active Aero, Dual Exhaust, Twin Turbo, AWD, AWS etc. People put its heavy weight and gas consumption as a negative. I live in Mid-West and can tell you from my own experience how great it handles in snow compared to other sports cars that...

FAST! THIS CAR SCREAMS! Mustangs and Camaroes could not touch me. The looks, for me at least, are the most gorgeous I've ever seen in a car and when the car drives well .... ahem ... it drives like a dream. Not to mention very hi-tech bells and whistles with Active Aero and AWD and AWS. I loved my VR4 when it was running well and it was a blast to drive but repairing and maintaning really gets old after a while....

My Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 is fast has lots of power, sexy, turns heads, keeps pace with any car on the street today. 24 mpg. fun to drive, almost never looses grip on the road. This is one amazing sports car, I have never been in a v6 this fast before. It dosn't have to compromise anything for looks this car turns anyones head. The handling is almost unmatched with all wheel drive, 4 wheel steering, active areo dynamics, and a switchable suspension, it is just hard to beat the way this thing drives....

I have had my 97 VR4 for about a year and it is by far the funnest car I've ever driven. I have 80k miles on it and is in great condition. Handling is incredible and launching from a dead stop with the AWD is so much fun. It's an awesome car for money and the timeless styling attracts nearly everyone I pass. Its my second 3000GT and I love it....

“If you would like something to race, get a rear wheel...”
If you would like something to race, get a rear wheel drive, I have had experience with all and rear wheel are definitely the best. Don't get me wrong, these Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 cars are the dog's nads, but I'm sick of it. I've had it for 2 years and it's been on my drive, most of it, having rebuilds and new components and I don't even race!! You will be impressed but be warned that these will cost you a fortune. Plus they are really hard to see gains from tuning. At tops you'd get it to 430-450...

“When I first bought my 3000GT VR4 I was actually in...”
When I first bought my 3000GT VR4 I was actually in the market for the Porsche 924 or the 300ZX. This was Mitsubishi's first entry into the performance car arena and they did an excellent job with their introduction of the 3000 GT VR4.
Enough so that it is the only time that Mitsubishi has won Motor Trend's Car of the year award in its class.
At the time the car came out none of the other two cars that I considered came close to performance looks nor style. To date, (now that the original...

I have a 1995 VR4 and I think I love mine as much as you do.
<br/>I often get asked what it is and offers to buy it. I tell them they can't afford it.
<br/>I have had no mechanical problems with it. I run two different types of tires on it depending on the time of the year.
<br/>I did replace the timing belt at 55,000 miles as they have a history of going out around 50,000 miles and do alot of damage at that time.

The Mitsubishi VR4 is a site to behold. Merging on the highway is like when they hit lightspeed in Star Wars. I have a black 1997 5 Speed that I bought with 62K miles on it and love it. The car has a luxurious interior yet can beat nearly all gear-head cars without modification (they just sit and spin as you silently grab the road and go). These cars are solidly built and have good quality paint. They are made of mostly metal not plastic (which unfortunately makes them heavy 3800 pounds). The weight...

What else do you need? The Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 has V6 Twin Turbo 320 HP all wheel drive, all wheel steering, power everything, leather, adjustable stabilizer, go from Touring to Sport; sport gives you more stiff feeling, which means less roll over feel going around corners, and a high rate of speed. Touring is more of a smooth ride. Adjustable muffler, also go from touring to sport; Touring uses the regular exhaust, then if you click it to sport, it shuts off some of the exhaust and runs in more...

Looked at buying one of these (they look REALLY good) but decided against it when I spoke to my Japanese sports car specialist. The 4WD & 4WS systems mean the car handles well enough but add weight that the car can ill afford and tends to blunt the performance.
<br>
<br>Also there are reports of numerous electronic gremlins which are difficult and costly to rectify.
<br>
<br>The 3000GT has super looks but in terms of performance (even in stock factory condition) and reliability there are 'better' options out there for similar money. I bought a Mk IV Supra Twin Turbo with a manual 'box instead and have never regretted it.

This 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Sports Car was bought off the show room floor.
One owner. "ME" 38-thousand miles sun roof FULLY LOADED!!!! Leather seats. That just hug you. MINT condition. Lives in garage. Kids take me out once in a while to ride in it. (I cant drive anymore)
Its preformance has been above and beyond what I ever exspected. It will do 140 Miles and hour EASY!! It has Active Arrow system after 50 miles an hour the computer takes over. Dropping to the ground and all wheel steering....

Bought a '92 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Sports Car... Driving it has been tons of fun... I turn heads when I drive by and snap necks when I fly by them... If performance isn't in your blood then save a ton of money by getting an SL (still equiped with the luxury features of leather/sun roof and midsize engine).. if luxury means beans to you get the base... There's a 3000GT in everyones budget... The Vr4 kicks ass......

I question the 'bad on gas' bit. I've had two VR4s and both were superb on the road for gas. Of course if you drive it like a race car, you can expect the gas consumption to suffer accordingly.

I dont have one yet. But I am obsessed with the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 sports car. I really want one in the worst way. i want to buy one so if you could e-mail me at vipercspeed@hotmail.com than that would be great. It has to be a VR-4 twin turbo w/ 150k miles or less, and a resonable price. Thanks....

I purchased this Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 sports car four years ago with 70,000 miles and it now has 120,000 miles on it...no part breakdowns...only regular maintenace and timing belt. I have always loved cars and this is a car lover's car. If you don't give it its due or abuse it, it would be a very expensive burden on your budget. If you want a race car buy a race car...if you want a high performance incredible handling street car...this is it. Try to find any thing under 10,000 with half the features......

I bought this Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 sports car in feb of 04' with 60k on it. as soon as I saw it I fell in love and when I finnaly drove it, i was fanatical about the car. Do not buy this car if you don't know anything about cars with turbo. And if you plan on getting one read up on it as much as you can.
Since I had the car I've done all the upgrades on it my self. If you want to see it go to:

I've had the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 for 7 years with the only failure being the screw thread that raises and lowers the moonroof. I had seen the reports on the bad 5-speed tranny so I waited and got a 95' with the german gertrag 6-speed, no problems yet. It's a good thing the car has been so reliable (74k) because the dealer doesn't have a clue and confirms every bad story you've ever heard. After the initial lag due to weight there's not much on the road that won't get left in the rear view by this...

Overall the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 is a great drive and head-turner. Safe and easy to drive, but suffers from an acceleration lag. The boot is huge if you fold the back seats down. The back seats are not very practical due to lack of legroom. My engine ECU and gearbox ECU have both failed within a 12-month period. The gearbox ECU failure lead to gearbox damage that cost £2500 to repair (recondition). The engine ECU cost just under £1000 to replace.
After sales service is appalling....

Garuda. Don't lose faith. If you like the 3000GT then you will love the Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo. It is just as beutifull and powerful as the Mitsubishi but without the misery of poor workmanship and dealer services. I travelled the same path as you and I discovered that out of the four main japanese supercars ie; Skyline, 300ZX, Supra, 3000GT; The 300ZX is best value for money. It comes with a stylish glass targa roof, futuristic interior and quality performance!

I had problems with the one I bought but I liked it so much I still had to take it for a 30 min. drive just before I traded it in. Try to go with the eclipse....

The Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 is an outstanding performance car. The knock against this car is it's weight, and their is no denying the fact the VR4 is a heavy car when compared with the likes of the EVO or STI. Still the VR4 is fast as hell and handles like it is on rails. I have owned my VR4 for 3 years and haven't regreted anything about it yet. Car ran 13.6 1/4 mile times at the track bone freaking stock. Dropped $2,000 worth of mods in it and was knocking on high 12 second 1/4 mile passes door....

good review, though the writer fails to tell people of the fact that it is a wonderful looking car and although it has a weight problem it makes up for that in looks. My 3000gt has been spotted in mistake for a ferrari a few times... and the wow factor when driving gives you a buzz........watch those heads turn....

I'm a big guy, 6'4" and 240 lbs, and I have more headroom than any camry or civic i've rode in. I have no problems getting in and out of my car. I've drove civics and camry's, and the 3000gt is more comfortable than either of those.
