Mitsubishi galant 9 weak points. Mitsubishi Galant (mitsubishi galant) - overview, specifications. Positive and negative qualities of the model

The current Mitsubishi Galant - a car not so much Japanese as American - is absolutely not needed in Europe. In Europe, no one is waiting for Galant, but we (in the automotive sense), although not America, but, moreover, not Europe. Remembering the still beloved previous generations of Mitsubishi Galant, which we drove, we drive, and we will drive for a long time, everyone asked: “When?”. Russia is an important market for Mitsubishi, and our opinion cannot be ignored. Here we got what we wanted.

It is unlikely that the assessment of the design of the 9th generation Mitsubishi Galant will be news: it (especially in the front part) is strange, incomprehensible, and even simply ugly for some. A massive hump in the middle of the hood, an inexpressive grille, but most importantly - headlights! The headlights (where are you - the lovely squinted stripes of Mitsubishi Galant light elements of previous generations?) Have replaced some kind of quadrangles from the Volga.

One of the leaders of the distributor Mitsubishi, noted that while "Galant" is sold a little worse than expected. Obviously, in the first months of Russian sales, most of those who were waiting for the Mitsubishi Galant (and many were waiting for it) simply did not have time to try the car on the go - which means they only appreciated the appearance. And they didn't like the looks. Design Mitsubishi Galant 9th generation (2004) has absolutely nothing to do with the style of the previous Mitsubishi Galant.

But they are greeted by clothes, but they see off ... On the road, the opinion about the car becomes much better.
Firstly, behind the controversial appearance of the car lies a huge interior.
Secondly, all controls in the Mitsubishi Galant are clear and in place; with an abundance of options, you do not feel that you have been overwhelmed with information. There are slightly more buttons in the Mitsubishi Galant than in the Lancer, despite the much more modest equipment of the latter. Only not too good: an excessively large steering wheel and radio buttons that do not fit into the center console. Here again, the designers were not up to par.
Thirdly, the car pleased with convenient details. The main thing is: a driver's seat with an electric drive and a wide range of adjustments, a clear parking sensors and a wide armrest with a roomy box.
Fourth, and most importantly: Mitsubishi Galant is very good on the go. The car handles just fine, although the steering wheel itself is not the most comfortable in girth. The engine and “box” work almost perfectly, although many will want more playfulness from such a machine. Moderately stiff suspension, providing decent comfort, is good both in a straight line and in corners. Mitsubishi bites into the road, maintaining good stability in any reasonable trajectory.

But I don’t want to drive a Mitsubishi Galant recklessly - it’s not easy to “ignite” it. The adaptive “automatic” adapts to the driver, but does not give him extra freedom.

America saw the new Mitsubishi Galant in April 2003, but we saw it only 3 years later. Residents of the US and Canada can choose a 3.8-liter 230-horsepower V6, but we only have a 2.4-liter 158-horsepower unit. The new Mitsubishi Galant was almost completely developed in the States and for the States: design - in California, "technology" - in Michigan, assembly - in Illinois. It's not hard to guess which country's Mitsubishi was seen sitting in the driver's and passenger seats of the Galant.

Bottom line: the car could be better. Under the hood could be a 3.8-liter engine and a manual transmission, novice drivers would be happy with the ESP system. And the Japanese could entrust the design to their own specialists. But how long would it take to prepare such a Mitsubishi Galant, and will we need it like this?

Prices for Mitsubishi Galant 9th generation in 2007 in the Russian market start from 757 thousand rubles.

Peace and health to you. This is not the first review, so you can judge strictly. Driving experience of 20 years, there are professional categories and extensive experience in driving various brands of cars of different classes. Well, I'll try my best. I drove all sorts of cars, but I like big ones, so at any financial opportunity I look towards business class cars and believe me, not because of show-offs. I sold it means Mazda 5, before her sonata and I realized I was not a Mazda driver, although I also got a good Mazda, do not be offended by Mazda owners. In terms of budget and comfort, I was more drawn to the sonata and even considered them a lot, but I couldn’t find a live one. About 400 thousand and the task is to meet such requests. So the range is small - Camry, Teana, Epic, Galant, chord and sonata. Epic is small, as he wrote, I didn’t find a sonata, for the Camry, an old woman with a rolled mileage, excuse me half a lemon, as people say, the toad crushed, the two-liter teana did not satisfy, but 3.5 eats and tax, and the squeezed ones came across, but good 2.3 liter ones at a price already pulled up to the kamryushki, in short, expensive, not for my money. Of course, the chord is handsome, but the clearance is low, and not cheap. I don’t fit into any framework and prospects at all. I rolled my lip into a business class, and still I don’t want Solaris and Cruz (I’m waiting, I’m looking, I endure). And somehow I looked at Galant by chance, I read reviews (there are few of them, but truthful ) - thanks by the way for them, they helped a lot. And apparently fate quickly found Galant 9 in full minced meat, at my request and money. . So, American, handsome, sunroof, leather, cruise, xenon in all places, the 2.4 engine is the same as the Outlander, a bunch of pillows, a 4-speed automatic, a minimum of electronics, a pleasant interior, spacious and comfortable for all passengers. Under the hood, everything is simple, visible and convenient, I can even change a light bulb anywhere without finishing a cigarette. The seller didn’t lie, he didn’t eat the oil. By the way, I already had a Mitsubishi Lancer in 2005, I remember the oil zhor and the driver’s very comfortable fit. underestimated. I sat down, drove off and it was pleasant, I immediately feel the car is heavy, soft, but unfortunately clumsy and, to put it mildly, clumsy, there is not enough fifth gear on the highway and a couple of electronic assistants such as anti-skid or something like that. It eats gasoline 92-10 on the highway approximately, about 12-13 in the city, and of course how to heat and with what to turn it on. Well, I should please you, those who want such a car, these are all special shortcomings and I am so glad about this, because the stuffing, dynamics and comfort are not much inferior to classmates of this year at incredible prices, and the price pleases, because everything depends on it .Well, about the pros, the combination of a box-engine is excellent, after a Mazda I get high. When overtaking, he obeys, when changing lanes in the city he doesn’t get stupid. He won’t press you into a chair, but you won’t get lost either. Shumka 4 plus, the arches would be quieter and there would be five. The trunk is spacious, the interior is solid (of course it doesn’t look like that in a rag), everything is fine, everything is there. comfortable on the highway. The engine is not heard much, I would say moderately. The steering wheel is comfortable and turns well. - for a long time I didn’t drive over bumps and potholes with such joy, I didn’t hook it even once, in short, for our roads, that’s it. Music ROCKFORD, what can I say - having an additional musical education, good hearing and memory - this is the best sound I've heard in my whole life in cars. But the radio, by the way, doesn't catch very well, but it's easy to fix it with a good antenna, if you need it of course. The doors are heavy - they close nicely, you don’t notice speed on the highway, it’s better to have a radar detector. Wheels 215/60/16. Athermal windshield. Auto-corrector headlights. 8 airbags. The conclusion is that it’s a good car for good money, at least for me. I'll ride. Thank you for your attention. I'll add a photo if I'm not too lazy. Critics, do not provoke negative compliments. I will be happy to answer questions for decent people ... Good luck on the road ...

Whole photoshoot

"Mitsubishi Galant" returned to our country

After a three-year break in our country, sales of the Galant of the ninth generation have begun again, but it cannot be called absolutely new. Such a “Galant” has been produced in the USA for the domestic market for more than two years. To adapt it to Russian conditions, more than 300 changes had to be made to the design.

I have a friend who is a big fan of Galantes. He called his eighth-generation cars (and he had two in turn) “Japanese BMWs” and gently dusted off the “muscular” sides. He was not alone - many Russians liked the expressive design, powerful 6-cylinder engine, excellent handling and luxurious equipment "Mitsubishi Galant". Will my friend buy a ninth generation sedan? Do not know. The model has changed a lot...

Double digitization of the speedometer - in miles and in "km / h" - gives out the American origin of the model.

There is no such machine in Japan. Not listed. The Japanese themselves are still satisfied with the old "Galant" (practically the same that was officially sold in our country until 2003) and, it seems, are quite satisfied with it. However, on the Mitsubishi Motor Corporation website, in the “worldwide lineup” section, there is a mention that the new generation Mitsubishi Galant large sedan exists, but is produced “only for the local US market”. In more detail, since 2004 this model has been produced at the American Mitsubishi plant (in the town of Normal, Illinois), and it has not yet been delivered to other countries, except perhaps Canada and Mexico. And now Russia began to import this car, balancing on the verge of a “family” and business class.

Thus, the ninth “Mitsubishi Galant” can be called a novelty only conditionally. Using the words of I. Ilf and E. Petrov (“12 chairs”), we can say about this model: “The young one was no longer young.” Personally, I first saw the new “Galant” on New Year's Eve 2005. And not somewhere in Detroit, but in Moscow, at the opening of another Mitsubishi dealership. The snow-covered car was parked behind the salon, away from the exhibition display and parade speeches. In response to my questions, employees of the Rolf company (the official representative of Mitsubishi in Russia) made scary eyes and put their fingers to their lips: “Shh, it’s too early to talk about it, the decision on sales has not yet been made, wait and see ...”

I had to wait almost two years. Of these, according to a press release, it took a year and a half to adapt the machine to Russian conditions. A “comprehensive refinement of all components and assemblies” was carried out, more than 300 changes were made to the design of the car. But the noticeable differences between the adapted “Galant” and the American one can be counted on the fingers.

The interior does not stand out with special advantages compared to competing models.

The shape of the front bumper and grille has changed (undoubtedly for the better). The headlights and taillights have been updated (so as not to violate our rules, because a different standard for lighting equipment has been adopted overseas). The clearance of the car has increased (up to 165 mm), in accordance with this, the suspension characteristics have been reconfigured. The engine was adapted to work in cold climates and on 92-octane gasoline. It cost the motor the loss of two "horses". In the Russian version, its power is 158 hp, and 160-horsepower Galants are sold in the USA. The speedometer and odometer now count not only miles, but also kilometers (double digitization). The radio receiver of the standard audio system received a “European” tuning step, and the temperature on the climate control is set on the Celsius scale, not Fahrenheit.

That, in fact, is all. And where are the other 290-odd differences? I have no doubt that they are. But ordinary buyers most likely will not notice all the other nuances. Yes, and no need. It is quite enough to assure sellers that the car is comprehensively adapted. And in the event of a malfunction, problems with warranty service should not arise.

As mentioned above, this car is far from new for the USA, and our overseas colleagues (for example, from the expert agency “Consumer Report”) have already managed to suck all the bones in it and carefully put them on the shelves. Their verdict is as follows: reliability is above average in the class, failure statistics are minimal, and the technique does not cause any complaints. But the “degree of customer satisfaction” (spoiled Americans also have such a parameter for evaluating a car) leaves much to be desired. They don't like the new "Galant" for some reason. Even despite the fact that during passive safety tests (according to the NHTSA version adopted in the USA), he was awarded the highest award - five stars.

A CD receiver with a six-disc changer is installed on the “Galant” in the “Instyle” package.

Of the obvious shortcomings of the car, American experts mention only the excessive noise of the base 4-cylinder engine (a 6-cylinder version is also sold in the USA). On this I strongly disagree with them. When I personally got acquainted with the car, I didn’t notice anything like that (believe me, I listened carefully, even turned off the music). So, I dare say: the car is very quiet in all engine operating modes, aerodynamic noise and the rustling of tires on asphalt also do not annoy. Perhaps among the changes made to the design was improved sound insulation?

But there is no version of the Galant with a 3.8-liter V6 (which overseas experts even consider “too powerful”) that is dear to the American heart, and most likely will not be in Russia. It's a pity. The motor is very good, lively, although too, in my opinion, gluttonous. I suspect that the refusal to supply it was due solely to the high cost of the modification with the V6. After all, even a “basic” car with an in-line “four”, crossing the ocean, rises in price by exactly $10,000.

Watch out, leaf fall!

I DID NOT HAVE TIME to park the test “Mitsubishi Galant” in the editorial parking lot, as colleagues pounced with questions:

– Well, how do you like the new “Galant”, did you like it?

- I do not even know. It is hard to say...

I really (without a hint of coquetry) can not answer this question unambiguously. On the move, the car makes a very good impression. Spacious comfortable lounge. Excellent sound insulation (it's not a sin to repeat this again). Excellent suspension work and understandable (and therefore safe) behavior on the road. "Galant" perfectly obeys the steering wheel and readily responds to pressing the accelerator. The adapted 4-cylinder engine, even with a slight loss of power, cannot be called a weakling. Perhaps, I am ready to agree with the American specialists that the 230-horsepower V6 in this case is more of an excess than a necessity. The dynamics of the car and without it enough.

And most importantly - "Galant" holds the road very tenaciously. Sometimes even unrealistically tenacious. Wet asphalt. Fast dangerous turn. The roll is large enough, it seems that the suspension travel is fully selected. And if the turn turns out to be even steeper? I add gas and at the same time turn the steering wheel, trying to provoke a slip. No matter how! The car, accelerating, willingly “dives” into a steeper trajectory. All four wheels at the same time maintain tight contact with the road. Excellent! It is possible to break the car into a slip only on a carpet of yellow fallen leaves. Sometimes they are worse than ice. Before them, sometimes all the tricks of the designers of the undercarriage pass ...

Of course, in such a commendable behavior of the car there is a merit of both a complex multi-link independent suspension (both front and rear), and Yokohama tires installed on the Russian versions of the Galant. By the way, in America, if my memory serves me, “Galant” is equipped with tires of one of the most affordable “Goodyear” models. Another point in favor of “our” car.

These are all pluses. What about the cons? Firstly, it is a sluggish, inexpressive (in my opinion) appearance. Secondly, a somewhat old-fashioned unpretentious interior. And thirdly, the relative (compared to competitors) poor configuration. And not only basic.

Adapting "Galant" to Russian operating conditions, engineers made more than 300 changes to its design.

In our market, “Galant” is sold in two versions of equipment - “Intense” and more expensive “Instyle”. There is no third. Both options include a 2.4-liter engine in combination with a 4-speed automatic transmission (with manual shifting), 16-inch alloy wheels, ABS, cruise control and the simplest climate control. In general, the minimum that you won’t surprise anyone on cars of this class today.

Rear lights "Galant" adapted to the Russian standard.

The Instyle comes with a power glass sunroof, leather seats, a power driver's seat, and a classy Rockford Fosgate audio system. In addition, pseudo-wood trims appear in the cabin (dirty gray for some reason), and the steering wheel is covered with artificial leather. It's strange, is there really no shred left for the steering wheel cover after cutting the upholstery of the seats? ..

The audio system is really quite good. I really liked. The disc “Midnight Oil 20.000 Watt R.S.L.” sounds, shall we say, convincing. Drive - more than enough. The subwoofer “pierces” the chest through and through. But Vivaldi's concerto performed by the same system somehow didn't impress me...

Everything else looks pretty modest. But the new “Galant” will have to compete in its price segment with “Hyundai NF”, “Toyota Camry”, “Nissan Teana”... The list can be continued. The company of competitors is serious. In addition, “Mitsubishi Galant” is the oldest (according to the year of development) car on this list ... However, in our market, “Galant” has a huge advantage: you can come and buy it. Straightaway. At least now dealers have "live" cars. For some, this factor will probably be decisive. And my opinion: “Mitsubishi Galant” is a great car for those who are looking for just a reliable means of transportation in a car. My friend, a fan of the previous "Galant", is unlikely to be delighted with the new one.

RETROSPECTIVE

Models of past generations

In Russia, the Galantas of the previous two generations were officially sold. The seventh “Mitsubishi Galant” (photo above) appeared on our market back in 1993 (the same year that the world premiere of the model took place). And in 1997, it was replaced by another model (photo below), which was supplied to our country until 2003.

When the generation changed, the 2-liter gasoline engine with 133 hp became the base for the Galant. (145 - for modification with direct fuel injection GDI). In addition to it, a 2.4-liter engine was produced (144 hp or 150 for the GDI version). The 2.5-liter V6 remained the flagship engine.

COMPETITORS

At first, these cars were produced in Japan, and since 1994, cars assembled at a plant in Illinois could be seen in American markets. First of all, Mitsubishi cars have earned their awards due to their high consumer qualities. Today, many motorists buy cars from this company. After taking part in numerous rallies, the company began to develop a completely new model called the Mitsubishi Galant 9 VR-4.

This model is a sporty example of a version of the model. The sporty model had a 2.49 liter V6 twinturbo, 4-cylinder petrol engine (this engine is often found in 1992 models). All VR-4 models have all-wheel drive. This car has a 4-speed.

Specifications

The car engine is adapted for countries with a cold climate.

All cars that are delivered to Russia today are equipped with only one engine - a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder MIVEC engine with 4 valves per cylinder, and an ECI-MULTI injection distribution system is also provided. This power unit has one important advantage - the presence of an automatic octane correction system, which allows you to refuel the engine with 92nd gasoline. With it, the engine can produce 158 hp. and 213 Nm, which it reaches at 4,000 rpm. in min. Together with the engine, only an automatic transmission can be used - a four-speed automatic transmission INVECS-II Sports Mode with a manual gear selection function.

The 158th engine does not have crazy dynamics, so it’s better not to arrange “traffic light” races on it. This car was created based on the American consumer. In general, the car can be described as - soft and imposing. These qualities are present literally in every detail. But this does not mean that fast driving is prohibited.

Automatic type transmission INVECS-II itself adapts to the individual driving style of the driver. In dynamic mode, each of the gears spins to the red zone, and during the release of gas, the box continues to hold speed, slowly switching to a higher step in order to respond in time to pressing the accelerator pedal. In a relaxed driving mode, passengers should not even notice the gear change.

The Mitsubishi Galant 9 car has a battery with an increased capacity, more than 70% of all parts are galvanized, the bottom has a partial treatment with an anti-corrosion coating. 2.4 liter engine with 158 hp. allows you to accelerate the car up to 100 km / h. already 11.5 seconds after the start. And the maximum speed is 200 km/h. Fuel, depending on driving conditions, ranges from 7.2 to 13.5 liters. per 100 km.

All versions are supplied with only one engine - 4G94 (R4 16V), having a volume of 2 liters. and direct injection GDI (145 hp), and an automatic four-speed gearbox INVECS-II.

The engine displacement is 2378 cubic meters, and its torque is 213 N.M. The average fuel consumption is 9.5 liters. The fuel tank has a capacity of 67 liters.

Mitsubishi Galant 9 interior

If we talk about the interior, then it is important to emphasize the following: buttons have appeared that allow you to control the cruise control and the audio system, they are located on the steering wheel itself, or rather its front part (before that they were at the back). The interior trim has also changed - new “wood-like” materials were used for it (before that, a different material was used - “aluminum-like”), the backlighting of control systems and car instruments has also changed, previously it was blue, and now it has become red.

Now let's look at all this in more detail. When the car was released to the Russian market, it turned out that its price was equated to the cost of the top-end versions of the “D” class cars, in which the well-known Hyundai NF and. At the same time, the dimensions of the 9th generation Galant can compete with more expensive rivals, like, and.

So, let's go inside the car. We will immediately see that the front seats do not have an American profile at all - the back has lateral support that securely fixes the driver's body. Thanks to the electric adjustment of the driver's seat, you can easily sit comfortably behind the wheel. The fact that the Mitsubishi Galant 9 car was made by a foreign manufacturer is only evidenced by the fact that the steering column does not have longitudinal adjustment.

The blue backlight, which annoyed all drivers so much, has been replaced with an orange “European type” backlight. The cruise control and audio control buttons have been moved from the back of the steering wheel to the front, making them easier and more convenient to use. Soft plastic is used for the front panel, but not very high quality either. Although there is a duplicate speedometer scale in miles, the instrument panel is very informative, it was created carefully.

The rear seat of the car is very spacious. If passengers of average height are sitting in front, those who are behind can easily cross their legs and feel very comfortable. If you look at the width, then there is enough space for three adults, but still the one who will sit in the middle will not be in the best position. The pillow on the back sofa is molded only for two people, which means that when you pass a speed bump, the passenger in the center will touch the ceiling a little with his head. Be that as it may, the spacious interior is one of the main features of the Mitsubishi Galant, it also compensates for the somewhat simple finish.

The steering wheel has a mechanical adjustment of the angle of inclination, the steering wheel in this car is not adjustable for reach. In the basic Intense package, cruise control and an audio system with 6 speakers and a servo drive for each glass are provided. From the expensive Instyle configuration, one can note the driver's seat servos, leather seats, a sunroof with an electric drive and a high-quality Rockford Fosgate audio system with a subwoofer and 8 speakers, its power is 650 watts. For safety, airbags are provided, there are 6 in total, in addition, seat belts are equipped with pretensioners. In safety tests conducted in the US, NHTSA Mitsubishi was able to win 5 stars and thus receive the highest rating.

Suspension

The Mitsubishi Galant car has the following characteristics of the front suspension, it is created according to the scheme, there is a multi-link on the back side. By European standards, such a suspension can be considered quite soft, it allows you to sway a little on the wavy bends of the asphalt.

In essence, the model is an undervalued alternative to other representative German-made cars. The manufacturer presents this car with two body styles - a spacious station wagon and a sedan, but either of them makes this car beautifully designed, refined, stylish, powerful and comfortable. But despite all the advantages of this car and the recent update of its appearance, Mitsubishi Galant, as before, remains not the most noticeable and fashionable.

It is worth noting that, in general, the ninth generation of the Galant car is a reliable and hardy car. Today, a well-groomed nine can cost from 13 to 17 thousand dollars.

The model runs on a gasoline engine, the volume of which is 2.4 liters, and the power is 158 horsepower, it has a four-speed automatic transmission, which allows the car to accelerate to hundreds in just 11.5 seconds, the maximum allowable speed of this car is 200 km /h The average fuel consumption is 9.5 liters. for 100 km.

The main technical characteristics of the car:

• Body - class E sedan;
• Manufacturer - Japanese company Mitsubishi;
• There are five places in total;
• Motor - gasoline;
• Engine volume - 2.4 liters;
• Power - 158 hp;
• Gearbox - five-speed automatic;
• Drive - front type;
• The maximum available speed is 200 km/h.

Summing up, we get a spacious sedan that has comfortable suspension settings, good ride, excellent noise isolation and a good list of equipment. This is a business class sedan with a representative and at the same time sporty appearance. While this may not be a performance car, it has strong roll, body roll and a large turning radius.

If you want to have a prestigious and comfortable car, then Mitsubishi Galant 9 is for you.

Having skated on Almere for 5 years, he set out to change to something comfortable, reliable, higher class.

The car is needed for summer operation in the town. In winter and out of town I go to the Forester. First I wanted to take the Renault Latitude. The price bribed me, for a 2-liter version with a CVT they asked for 850 thousand, plus shares at that time, the price was 790 thousand. Ride realized that this is what I wanted, but played age stinginess. Thinking about why to lose money on resale, if you can take a fresher one, and go to rest on the saved money. Began a heavy search for ads.

Strengths:

• Spacious
• Soft
• Comfortable
• Easy to manage
• Reliable
• Simple and inexpensive to maintain

Weak sides:

Review Mitsubishi Galant 2.4 (Mitsubishi Galant) 2007

The choice - for 904,000 rubles "sat down and drove a big new car" in 2007, there was no choice, the Camry had to wait 8 months, and the rest was either very expensive (BMW 5 series (with leather) - 1,560,000 rubles), or Korean.

For 4 years of operation, with an annual mileage of 15000 km, NOTHING has broken and changed except for oil and filters.

Review Mitsubishi Galant 2.4 (Mitsubishi Galant) 2007

My brother's car is 2nd, so most of the mileage belongs to me. The car was purchased from a dealership in 2007. Options: European, black, black leather interior, full-time rockford music, non-smoking interior (without ashtray), 2.4, automatic transmission-4 steptronic with manual switching.

To begin with, the ship is not small, they put it next to the BMW 735 in the 65th body, not long, so almost the same, and the turning radius is such that you have to maneuver more. I consider this a minus. Regular wheels look small, so it was decided to purchase larger wheels. When choosing wheels in a store, the sellers tried to be smart and suggest the size of the tires. When I said that I wanted to put 225/55 p18, they twisted me at the temple and showed me the price list with sizes. They put it in the third summer season — excellent, it doesn’t hurt anything, plus the clearance has increased and of course the view.

Salon — full-time Roquefort music for 6 discs. Sounds… well, 4-ku. Normally, a couple of heads higher than the Camry 40 configuration (p 4) of the same year. The skin is rough, but it does not rub off and looks like new now, the plastic is not ice, but it does not rattle like in the 40s. The passenger seat in comparison with the forty - well, I don’t know, it personally seemed more convenient to me in the 40-ke, the minus is that there is no steering wheel adjustment for reach, if I’m not mistaken, so the steering wheel is quite far from the panel, it seemed to me personally in comparison with forty. Noise isolation is average. The climate is on the level: it heats well, cools well too, though this year you will have to add or change freon.

Strengths:

• Decent wheel arches for this class

Weak sides:

• Weak paintwork
• Adjustment of interior materials
• The engine is noisy
• Turning radius

Review Mitsubishi Galant 2.4 AT (Mitsubishi Galant) 2008 Part 2

I tried the car on the highway on the route Dzerzhinsk - Volsk (Saratov region), 800 km one way. While the car is running in, the speed does not exceed 110 km / h. The suspension is very energy-intensive, the wheels are 215/60/16, which together smooths out the roughness quite well. I had to go in a snowstorm on a snowy road, and therefore managed to evaluate the handling. No emergency situations.

The speed is gaining momentum. To prevent slipping, you have to dose the thrust. Due to the power and traction at speed, it confidently pulls out the car. Rulitsya clearly, practically does not collapse. But in all driving modes, a considerable weight of the car is felt. It happened that due to poor visibility, the right wheels caught the side of the road, where the edge could put the car into a skid. And probably due to the weight of Galant, this did not happen.

As for skidding, the car keeps the wheels on the slippery surface for a long time. But if it has already gone, then it has gone ... It was possible to break the car into a deep skid, but this was done on purpose. In normal mode, everything happens predictably. There is certainly a tendency to demolition.

Review Mitsubishi Galant 2.4 AT (Mitsubishi Galant) 2008

Decided on MG very quickly. For almost a year I was going to change my car and got used to the idea that it would be a Hyundai NF. Stubbornly went to the salon and forced himself to get used to this idea. Something gnawed inside. And when I went to make an advance payment for NF in the cabin at the same place was HE.

15 minutes to sit, pull, twist and I made an advance payment for it. The price tag is 759,000. In the process of communicating with the manager, it turned out that when lending through the Security Council of the Russian Federation with a minimum down payment, a discount of 60,000 rubles. Total 700,000. And this despite the fact that the Korean cost at least 740,000.

Strengths:

• Dynamics
• representativeness
• Interior space

Weak sides:

• Could be quieter

Review Mitsubishi Galant 2.4 AT (Mitsubishi Galant) 2007

I would like to write some comparison of Galant with Camry.

Perhaps I won’t write about my Camry here. Why won't I? So because thousands of lines of reviews have already been written about it, and this car has probably been studied like no other. All of its good (of which there are an overwhelming number) and not very features (if there are any) have already been registered hundreds of times and it is already like a kind of standard of an average car, hovering between “just the car industry” (any car is not a luxury brand) and the luxury car industry. Balancing on a knife edge.

But okay. Not about that, but still about the external comparison of the Camry with the Mitsu brand (for lack of anything to do, I was in the Mitsu (Rolf) salon for a long time, sat out in almost all models, killed time. First of all, of course, about the comparison with the direct competitive Galant.

Strengths:

• Maybe the price?

Weak sides:

• External and internal view

Review Mitsubishi Galant 1600 (Mitsubishi Galant) 2007

Good day friends!!!

Finally, I took the time to unsubscribe about my horse, otherwise, as it happens when choosing a car, you read all the reviews for one or another model of a car in one word, you learn everything, but when you get an iron friend, you immediately forget that you need advice or experience to share with others!

Well, let's start in order.

Review Mitsubishi Galant 1600 (Mitsubishi Galant) 2006

Mitsubishi Galant 2006 release in black. The car is large, spacious, unusual appearance.

1. Ergonomics of the driver's seat was made by a man without a right leg and probably a Dwarf - WHY IS THE PARKING BRAKE LEVER SO CLOSE TO THE DASHBOARD? HE IS CONSTANTLY INTERFERING! IT IS NOT SUCCESSFUL TO GET INTO THE CHAIR FOR MORE THAN A YEAR! ADJUSTING THE STEERING COLUMN IS DISGUSTING - either the instruments are invisible, or you are on the BUS!

There is no ELEMENTARY COMPUTER - You will never know AVERAGE CONSUMPTION, HOW MUCH LEFT TO DRIVE, and even THE TEMPERATURE overboard WOULD BUY FROM AVTOVAZ costs about 100 USD.
