Mitsubishi Galant Coupe 1993-
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very reasonable second-hand prices for equipment level, build quality, performance, etc...

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Some parts (exhaust system, wheel bearings) are extremely expensive for a car of this age/value. Other parts are quite reasonable. BE WARNED - 54k-mile service is very expensive. Trouble-free motoring, though.

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    If you want to drive this car on winding roads at high speeds, then don't bother buying one. All other driving (especially motorway cruising) is a dream.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Good responsive performance from a 2-litre engine. Effortless high speed cruising. Handling a little spongy.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    New exhaust at 50k miles. New rear wheel bearing at 52k. Expensive.

    Image

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Rather bland image. The nose on the 24v V6 looks pretty cool, though.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Bum can get stiff when driving over 200 miles on motorway, but I am a fat bloke.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Came with decent alarm system and immobiliser.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0
