Mitsubishi Galant Saloon 2.5 V6 Elegance 4d (2003/03) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Amazing amount of standard kit, would cost around £30k for the equivalent spec BMW/MERC etc.
Costs
None as 3 yrs warrantly/free servicing covers everything.

On the road
Driving
Superb comfort/ visibility however a little too much body roll and easy loss of front wheel traction when pushed.
Performance
Very quick and nimble for the size, however i would have expected more than 158bhp from a 2.5 V6 24V. MPG is very good unless driven hard.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems starting, has not let me down yet, it's a Mitsubishi after all.
Image
Full VR4 ralliart styling keeps in well with the EVO VIII / Impreza crowd, with a touch of quality and elegance normally found within the BMW/Merc outfits too.
Comfort
Superb leather trim and very compliant suspension. A little too soft when driven like it looks.
-
Security and Service
Security
Cobra cat 1 and security hifi, excellent.
Service
Chapelhouse St. Helens don't know anything other than sales and have spoilt the initial ownership experience, the follow up service is disgusting to say the least. Happily switched to Ryders in Bootle, Liverpool.
