General Comments

From the moment of first starting the Mitsubishi Gallant 2.5 V6 24 Tiptronic Automatic up you instantly get a feeling of quality. The engine is so quite at idle I thought that it had stopped! The fully adjustable electric, leather seats are comfotable without being armchairish..
Taking the wooden gear knob and dropping it into drive has the feel of a Lexus and the leather and wood rimmed steering wheel reinforces this. I guarantee that the first time you accelerate away this car will knock your socks off. This huge Estate car simply flies. Gearchanges as smooth as a Mercedes this car glides along. With the option of driving this car manually using the Tiptronic gearbox changes it from a smooth powerfull Limo. to a grunting performing beast. The fully functional climate control makes this a pleasure to be in. The only drawback is the some what excessive road noise, although after a few times if driving this becomes less noticeable.

    Noise is the issue with this car. The engine is indeed silent at tick-over. But does it roar when booted. The road noise from the low profile tyres is totally unaceptable for a car in this price bracket. Mitsubishi GB should hang their heads in shame at having ruined a great car by changing the standard wheels over to LP alloys at the docks. Also, how on Earth did they believe that Dunlop SP2000's were a match! They are rubbish. Mitchelin Pilot Sport or Firestone SZ40's are a significant improvement both in noise and safety.

    I couldn't agree more on the noise issue. Its a lovely responsive rev happy engine, but the road noise cancels out any hope of any conversation, and don't even think about having any hands free telephone conversations above town speeds.
    The other issue with the wheels is how susceptible they are to damage from pot holes and severe speed bumps: I have had 4 replaced in the last 18 months.
    As the other owner commented, this ruins the car, a real shame.

    You must have the regular wheels, as the low profile tyres ruin the ride and make it very noisy.
