Mitsubishi Galant VR4 Saloon Type-S 4d (1999/V) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Does everything and more than what a car twice the price can struggle to do.
Costs
Thirsty but worth it. Parts/services are very expensive.

On the road
Driving
Sticks like glue to the road. Ride is a bit hard, but turning circle is poor! You could turn a bus in a smaller space.
Performance
Wow!! Power is very smooth and predictable, handling is superb fun...

Living with it
Reliability
Failed AYC pump repaired under warranty with no grief. 'Could' have cost £2,000! without warranty.
Image
Wolf in sheep's clothing is an understatement. Extremely rare. Definite head turner to the point people will stop and stare. There is an owners club for these cars.
Comfort
Recaro seats are very snug and stop you flying around the cabin, but can be a little harsh on long journeys. Air con etc and plenty of room.

Security and Service
Security
It works. Additional security gadgets won't go amiss.
Service
Failed AYC pump repaired without question - very helpful.
