“I love to own the Mitsubishi Gallant 2.5 V6 24...”

Written on: 04/05/2007 by RugbyPete (8 reviews written)

I love to own the Mitsubishi Gallant 2.5 V6 24 Tiptronic Automatic.
I loved to spend money on this car, initially.
But eventually spending this money all the time becomes a little tiring to say the least.

The car isn't classed as 'unreliable' but it has its weaknesses for sure. Its well built generally, has solid surfaces in and out, leather, a mean look, its rare, and it can be fast when pushed, the only real bad thing I'd have to say about it is that the information given to drivers is a...

“Bought my 2001 Elegance estate car at 6 months old....”

Written on: 11/09/2004 by mociman (1 review written)

Bought my 2001 Elegance estate car at 6 months old. Had seen cars like it and wanted one. I found it and bought it. 2 weeks after buying it its value had dropped significantly but I still loved it. I now use it for work and cover some 40,000 miles a year, it was expensive trying to keep up with the 9000 mile services. Its out of warranty now and have found a service at 20,000 miles is fine.
I like the other reviewers have the 17" alloys fitted although when I bought the car it was fitted... (read more)

Change your own brake pads - Uprated ones from EBC cost me £24 and they're heavy duty.
<br/>
<br/>I have yet to understand why I keep spending money on it, love is blind?
<br/>
<br/>Change the oil and filters every 6k, sparks can be done at 54k (long life ones)
<br/>
<br/>If its auto, the biggest worry is the autobox failing, get it changed to amsoil as soon as you can

“I have had this Mitsubishi Gallant 2.5 V6 24 Tiptronic...”

Written on: 12/08/2004 by fivish (5 reviews written)

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... (read more)

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... (read more)

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.
<br>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.
<br>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.
