The latest generation Mitsubishi Galant has American roots. The previous version was perceived coolly by our compatriots. After restyling, the car appeared in a completely different form.
The most significant adjustments occurred in the rear lighting and interior trim of the car, since this is what caused a lot of criticism from journalists and car enthusiasts. The design of the car is a matter of taste, but the high-quality interior trim and sound insulation of a business-class car are paramount.
Mitsubishi Galant VIII has an incredible ride, not paying attention to both small and relatively large irregularities. Railroad tracks also go unnoticed by this machine.
Such smoothness is very important on the track. Mitsubishi Galant 8 feels confident in abrupt wheel rotations even at a speed of 120 km / h. This also applies to bad roads.
On a high-quality road surface, the car behaves quite confidently even with sharp maneuvers at a speed of 150 km / h. This speed mode is quite comfortable for the driver and passengers.
Mitsubishi Galant VIII is equipped with accurate and high-quality brakes that can stop the car without pecking or leaving from the straight line. The brake pedal is relatively soft and easy to dose. The basic equipment of this model is equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), as well as an electronic brake booster distribution system (EBD).
The two-ton car pretty confidently accelerates the Mitsubishi 2.4 S4 MIVEC engine. The engine is very “traction” and gives confidence to the driver both in city driving and on the highway. However, the sound of the engine at 5 thousand revolutions cannot be called pleasant.
It should be noted that the Mitsubishi Galant VIII will bring more pleasure to its owner during a leisurely ride. Paired with an elastic engine, a time-tested automatic transmission is aggregated with an electronic control system and the ability to shift gears manually.
According to marketers and engineers, the gearbox "adapts" to the driving style of the owner of the car after the next launch of the engine. Gear ratios for the transmission are selected so that the moment of gear shifting is very difficult to determine even with intensive acceleration.
In general, from driving this car there are only pleasant feelings. This is largely due to high-quality suspension, as well as torquey engine.
With all this, one would expect an increase in fuel consumption, but the Mitsubishi Galant VIII is an exception in this regard. A completely filled tank of 67 liters is only enough for 600 km of track, that is, fuel consumption will be 11 liters per 100 km with mixed driving.
In urban conditions, this figure will be much higher, but when driving on a highway at a cruising speed of 120 km / h, the engine will burn no more than 9 liters per hundred kilometers.
The car is equipped with airbags around the cabin, climate control, cruise control, an electrically controlled driver's seat and sunroof, as well as other useful attributes.
One of the most important issues that potential buyers are interested in is the price of this car. It is about 25 thousand dollars, which is considered a rather low cost for a business class car.
