Mitsubishi Galant Saloon 2.5 V6-24 4d (AC+LPS) (1997/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Excellent second-hand buy. Generous equipment, electric everything.
Costs
Fuel economy good for a V6. My heavy right foot even returns about 25mpg. Haven't had a service yet, but I don't think it will be cheap.

On the road
Driving
Good handling for a saloon cruiser. Effortless to drive. Loves motorways, but also handles country roads with ease.
Performance
Superb power delivery. Ultra responsive and smooth engine all through the rev range. Bags of torque available.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Faultless mechanicals. Service history ideal.
Image
Not top range executive badge, but a rather rare alternative motor for the discerning driver. Good looks for a Japanese car - a rare combo of mean on-road presence but understated overall.
Comfort
One comfy car. Supportive seats which adjust in every direction.
-
Security and Service
Security
No deadlocks, but factory-fitted Cobra alarm and engine immobiliser would appear to be effective!
Service
No service yet. Made one call to local dealer to enquire about a part. Not the friendliest, but efficient nonetheless.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Faultless - should go on for tens of thousands of miles yet.
Other
Heated seats don't work - suspect relay. Factory six-disc changer faulty - eBay replacement £20. Air con condenser aluminium pipes corroded by road salt - £200 all in at specialist air con dealer to replace and recharge though.
