Mitsubishi Galant Estate 2.0 Sport 5d (2001/51) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Can buy these cars cheap as chips at 2-3 years old.
Costs
I am told they are not cheap for parts but am also told that Mitsubishi's rarely go wrong!

On the road
Driving
Fantastic grip and handling with the 17" alloys, even though its an estate! Low profile tyres do produce some road noise. The clunky gearbox lets this car down, will not go into 1st unless you stop still first! Nice motorway car
Performance
2.0L 16v engine produces 135 bhp, bit slow off the mark because of the weight (9.5sec-60) but get those revs up and it will pull well (revs to 8000rpm).

Living with it
Reliability
Had the car for 7 months and no problems yet but it has only done 35,000
Image
Fantastic looks! this is the meanest looking estate car that has ever been made. the front end is spectacular looking it get lots of looks and people often ask what sort of mental engine has it got in it.Its looks just Scare people at the traffic lights!
Comfort
Very comfortable, many seat adjustment functions.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm and immobiliser. Alarm is far too sensitive, it goes off all the time when passed by boy racers or white van man!
Service
Had no dealings yet with the main dealer and probably wont either, will use an independant garage.
