Good Points

Looks stunning in silver with black windows.
Performance is amazing, 0-60 in under 7 seconds!


Bad Points

20 MPG around town, up to 32 MPG on the motorway.
OEM Dunlops are a missmatch, get Mitchellin Pilot Sports. This is a very noisy, uncomfortable car thanks to the fitting of low profile tyres. They should have left the steel wheels on at the docks.


General Comments

I have had this Mitsubishi Gallant 2.5 V6 24 Tiptronic Automatic Estate car for 3 years, I bought it when it was 9 months old, saving £5,000. Depreciations is massive!

This car has everthing I ever wanted from a car.

Unfortunately it also has what I dont want, noise from the tyres and an uncompfortable ride.
The seats are also rubbish. They must be designed for a very light person as I am sitting on the frame at 14 stone.
The dealers are pompous and robotic. Some of the mechanics know what they're doing. Parts are very expensive and the warranty has huge holes in it.

The car is reasonably reliable. Apart from changing the Dunlops at 15,000 miles due to unbearable droning, only the lambda sensor has failed. I have got through loads of bulbs. All the rear bulbs blew when I went over a pot hole!
The three high level stop lamps are unbelievably expensive. Condensation in a front fog light was cured by drilling a couple of small holes at the perimeter.
