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

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 goals higher than the Camry 40 configuration (p 4) of the same year. The skin is rough, but it does not wipe off and looks like new now, the plastic is not ice, but it does not rattle like in the 40s. passenger seat in comparison with the forty - well, I don’t know, it personally seemed more convenient to me in the forty, 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 the 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 ride in a snowstorm snow covered road, therefore it was possible to evaluate the controllability. 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.
Strengths:
- solid car
- Adequate fuel consumption
- Clearance and short overhangs do not limit driving on rough terrain
- On the road, the car is respected
- Low level of attention from the traffic police
- dynamic
Weak sides:
- Weak sound insulation
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 OH.
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 (from nothing 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?

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.

Weak sides:
Mitsubishi Galant The ninth generation was one of the first cars that did not come to us from Europe or Japan. This is a typical "American" that has undergone modernization for domestic market Russia. The Russian premiere of this car took place in September 2006, and overseas sales started two years earlier. Why did Mitsubishi marketers wait so long before presenting a new product on the Russian market? The answer was found quickly. According to representatives of the Japanese concern, before releasing the ninth Mitsubishi generation Galant to Russia, all components and assemblies of the car were finalized, taking into account the peculiarities of operation in Russia, which took a whole year and a half. As a result, 308 changes were made to the design.
About the main ones are enlarged to 165 mm ground clearance, a battery with a larger capacity for starting at low temperatures, as well as a more powerful starter and generator than in the American versions. After another year and a half, Galant underwent a slight restyling.
The most noticeable changes as a result of the update were the appearance of the car - a new grille trim appeared, and the fog lights became larger. In addition, the design of the rear lights has changed.
As for the interior, here we should highlight the appearance of the audio system and cruise control buttons on the front of the steering wheel (previously these keys were located on the back side), new trim materials “wood-like” (previously “aluminum-like”), and also changing the color of the illumination of instruments and vehicle control systems from blue to red.
T now about everything in more detail. After the Mitsubishi Galant appeared on the Russian market, it turned out that in terms of price range, the new product is on the same level as the top-end D-class cars, which include the popular Mazda6, as well as Opel Vectra and Hyundai NF. In turn, in terms of size, the ninth generation Galant competed with more expensive and venerable rivals - Nissan Teana, Toyota Camry and Volvo S80 and BMW 5-Series.
And so, we sit down in the salon. The front seats have a completely non-American profile - the lateral back support fixes the driver's body well. The electrically adjustable driver's seat makes it easy to find a comfortable driving position. Only the lack of longitudinal adjustment of the steering column reminds of overseas origin. Annoying blue backlight replaced with "European" orange. Due to the fact that the buttons for controlling the audio system and cruise control were moved from the back of the steering wheel to the outside, it became easier and clearer to manage them. The plastic of the front panel is soft to the touch, but the quality does not differ. Despite the presence of a duplicate speedometer scale in miles, the instrument panel is well informative and does not cause any complaints.
There is real space in the back sofa. With an average height of the front riders, rear passengers they can easily cross their legs and not feel any discomfort at the same time. The width of the place is quite enough for three adults, but you will not envy the one who is located in the middle. The rear sofa cushion is molded only for two, and when passing a speed bump, the central passenger can easily hit the ceiling with his head. In general, the spaciousness of the cabin is an undoubted trump card of the Mitsubishi Galant, which compensates for the rustic finish.
The luggage compartment with a volume of 435 liters is not distinguished by its large capacity and ease of use, primarily due to the not very good shape of the internal space and the high loading height. In addition, the transformation of the rear seat is not provided - for the transportation of long items there is only a hatch in the armrest.
The trunk lid is opened either with a button on the ignition key or with a lever in the cabin.
All cars supplied to the Russian market are equipped with only one engine, namely a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder MIVEC engine with four valves per cylinder and an ECI-MULTI distributed injection system. This power unit has one indisputable advantage, which is the automatic octane correction system, which allows you to fill the tank with 92nd gasoline. With such Mitsubishi engine Galant produces 158 hp. and 213 Nm of torque, which is achieved at 4,000 rpm. Paired with the engine, only an automatic transmission is available, namely the 4-speed INVECS-II Sports Mode automatic transmission with manual gear selection.
Ragan dynamics from a 158-horsepower engine is not worth waiting for, so it’s better to postpone the “traffic light” races. No wonder the car was developed for the American market. The habits of Galant can be characterized by two epithets - soft and imposing. These qualities are manifested in virtually everything. But that doesn't mean it can't be played with. Automatic transmission INVECS-II can adapt to the driving style. In dynamic mode, each gear spins to the red zone, and when you release the gas, the box keeps revs, not trying to switch to a step higher in order to respond faster to pressing the accelerator at the right time. In quiet mode, the shifts are virtually imperceptible to passengers.
As for the suspension settings, “overseas” habits are also unmistakably captured here. On asphalt waves, there is a fairly strong transverse buildup. Turns are passed with noticeable rolls. With a slightly sharper entry into the turn, the tires begin to squeak plaintively. But the pits and joints of the asphalt pavement Mitsubishi Galant clicks like seeds, without causing any inconvenience to passengers. Coupled with good sound insulation and an excellent audio system, the Rockford Fosgate Galant becomes a good companion even where the quality of the roadway leaves much to be desired. The increased clearance will allow you to make forays into nature without fear for the safety of the bottom. With a fairly understandable steering, which in its settings is more like Japanese than American, I was surprised by the large turning radius - where the “classmates” turn around in one run, “Galant” will need at least two. Because of this, there are some inconveniences when maneuvering in a tight parking lot.
In the piggy bank of Mitsubishi Galant, you can write down a fairly extensive list of equipment that competitors cannot boast of at a similar price. As standard equipment Galant is equipped with automatic transmission and cruise control, ABS and EBD systems, fog lights, power windows on all doors, climate control, six airbags, multifunctional steering wheel, audio system with 6 speakers and 16-inch alloy wheels with tires

Types of processing
Over the years, the processing itself has changed. Younger car - will always be galvanized better!
Types of galvanization
The presence of zinc particles in the ground covering the body does not affect its protection and is used by the manufacturer for the word "galvanization" in promotional materials. . Tests The test results of cars that left the assembly line with the same damage (cross) on the bottom of the front right door. The tests were carried out in the laboratory. Conditions in a hot salt mist chamber for 40 days correspond to 5 years of normal operation. hot dip galvanized car(layer thickness 12–15 µm) 
Galvanized car(layer thickness 5–10 µm) 
cold galvanized car(layer thickness 10 µm) 
Zinc metal car
Car without galvanization
It's important to know— Over the years, manufacturers have improved the technology of galvanizing their cars. A younger car will always be better galvanized! – Coating thickness 2 to 10 µm(micrometers) provides excellent protection against the occurrence and spread of corrosion damage. - The rate of destruction of the active zinc layer, at the site of damage to the body, is from 1 to 6 microns per year. Zinc is more actively destroyed at elevated temperatures. - If the manufacturer has the term "galvanized" not added "full" This means that only the impacted elements were processed. - Pay more attention to the presence of a manufacturer's warranty on the body, rather than loud phrases about galvanizing from advertising. Additionally
The history of this car began in 1969, when the first compact mitsubishi galant sedan rolled off the assembly line of the Japanese automobile corporation, which eventually grew to a mid-size one. Since that time, "knightly" ( this is how Galant is translated from French) the car has undergone nine changes and changed the place of assembly. Until 1994, the Mitsubishi Galant was produced in Japan, and then cars assembled in the US state of Illinois at the Diamond-Star Motors plant began to enter the American automotive market. Mitsubishi review Lancer X can be read.
Arising as one of the modifications of the model Mitsubishi Colt a small classic-layout sedan with a standard one and a half liter engine and dependent rear spring suspension became the ancestor of a large family of prestigious high-quality cars. In particular, on the basis of Mitsubishi Galant, a dynamic solid coupe Colt Galant GTO was produced, which was distinguished by a high-tech two-shaft engine for those times, as well as a rear dependent spring suspension.
It should also be noted that various modifications of the Galant have repeatedly become the “Car of the Year” in Japan due to their high consumer qualities. During its existence, more than nine million cars have been sold. At the end of 2003, the time has come for the Mitsubishi Galant 9. It is with this version of the Galant that the largest number of events of various scale and significance is associated. Firstly, for a number of countries in Southeast Asia, separate variations of the sedan were proposed.
In particular, Galant Grunder was proposed for Taiwan, which featured a unique limber, which later became simply Grunder. Galant 240Ms equipped with a 2.4-liter MIVEC engine were sent to the Philippines and China. Motorists of a number of CIS countries saw the ninth generation mitsubishi galant only in 2006. Secondly, the Mitsubishi Galant 9 appeared as a result of the globalization of the world economy. "American Japanese" was almost entirely developed in the United States.
In particular, designers from California, the current specifications Mitsubishi Galant "acquired" in Michigan, assembly was carried out on a conveyor in Illinois. It is possible that the automaker spent more than three years on adaptation to the operation of the car in Russian conditions, until the car appeared on the Russian market. Unfortunately, among the slightly more than three hundred changes that the "Russian" mitsubishi galant underwent, the most unpleasant was the presence of only one engine option. Moreover, both at first and in Mitsubishi Galant 2012.
Third, appeared on the Russian market Mitsubishi sedan Galant in terms of price parameters corresponded to the top performance of D-class cars, such as Opel Vectra, Hyundai NE and Mazda 6. Moreover, in terms of overall dimensions, Galant could compete with even more venerable and expensive rivals: BMW 5-Series and Volvo S80, Nissan Teana And Toyota Camry. But the biggest change has been in his appearance.
Exterior and interior of Mitsubishi Galant 9
It should be especially noted that on the example of Galant one can trace the entire evolution of design ideas from the end of the 60s of the last century to the present day. In particular, from the "shark" design of mitsubishi galant viii in the new version there was not the slightest hint. The angular predatory "teenager" has now acquired a solid-imposing appearance. It cannot be said that the new design won the hearts of all motorists without exception. Some liked it, others felt that the Americans had hopelessly ruined the car, abandoning the former, original exterior.
In fairness, it should be noted that most critics simply "met him by clothes", apparently forgetting about the second part of this popular expression. According to representatives of Mitsubishi, the main task was to maintain impeccable style and give the car excellent aerodynamic characteristics. And they succeeded. The sharp lines of the front end, which received a new border of the radiator grille, new headlights and fog lights, emphasize the power and dynamism of the car.
Embossed contours and side lines give the wedge-shaped silhouette of the body some resemblance to a well-built athlete. The integrity of the new look is completed by the expressive aft design with new lights. dimensions new items are (length x width x height): 4865 x 1840 x 1485 millimeters. Wheelbase- 2750 millimeters, ground clearance (ground clearance) - 165 millimeters. Useful volume luggage compartment with folded backs of the rear sofa is 480 liters.
Regarding the interior of the mitsubishi galant 2012, it can be noted that many of those who criticize its appearance would change their tone if they got inside the car. As noted by many experts in the automotive market, Galant has the most spacious interior among its "classmates". In addition, the developers took into account that the tastes and needs of the client have been growing over time, and offered completely new, better finishing materials and excellent equipment. Only the lack of longitudinal adjustment of the steering column speaks of American origin.
Everything else is at the European level. Excellent lateral support for the front seats, electric driver's seat (eight positions), orange instrument lighting ... The audio and cruise control buttons have shifted to outside steering wheel. The instrument panel is distinguished by acceptable information content, which seems incredible with a large number of different options. Among the equipment, one can note climate control and a Rockford Acoustic premium audio system, equipped with a six-CD changer and a 360 W electronic amplifier with nine speakers. In a word, there is everything that a car of this class needs.
Specifications MITSUBISHI GALANT 9
As noted above, somewhat confusing in new mitsubishi galant whose specifications for Russian market limited to one power unit, namely the absence alternative engines. Nevertheless, it can be noted - one, but which one. Probably the most pleasant circumstance is its "omnivorousness", which allows the use of gasoline, starting from AI-92. The four-cylinder SOHS 4G69 2.4-liter engine has acceptable power (158 Horse power) and is capable of accelerating to 200 km / h. The engine is completed automatic transmission with artificial intelligence, which allows it to select the optimal gears and adapt to the driving style of the owner.
Technical characteristics are successful for the Mitsubishi Galant in terms of the driver and passenger safety system. In particular, in the production of the body, the company's Realised Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) technology was used, which provides for a roll cage and crumple zones. This and other airbags and curtain airbags, as well as other options, were adequately rated by the NHTSA, which put 5 points for passive safety. In Russia, two configurations of various equipment are presented: Intense and Instyle.
Unfortunately for Mitsubishi Galant fans, 2012 was the end of the Galant era. It's time for Outlander and Lancer.
Asian-made cars today overwhelm the Russian car market: affordable "Chinese" or stylish "Korean" is offered by every second car dealer. However, these cars are more like ordinary means of transportation than something more. Therefore, those who wish to purchase a quality "Asian" should pay attention to. Among model range of this automaker, it is worth highlighting one handsome man - Mitsubishi Galant. This car truly embodies the harmony of practicality with quality. A review of the Mitsubishi Galant will help you make sure of this.
Mitsubishi Galant and its evolution
world famous car company was founded by Yataro Iwasaki in 1873. She was engaged in the production and repair of ships. Initially, the owner called his company Tsukumo, but later renamed it Mitsubishi Commercial Company. Thanks to government support, the brainchild of Yataro Iwasaki has become the largest Japanese shipbuilding company.
Later, the company began aircraft and automotive manufacturing, and produced the first car in 1917.
The Mitsubishi Galant was released back in 1969 and, in fact, became another version of its Colt prototype. It was a rather small car with a 1.5-liter engine. The primary variety of Galant was distinguished by a special body shape and a motor of the Saturn series. A little later, on the basis of this car, they created the Colt Galant GTO, which became the ancestor of a new line of cars in Japan.

Video about the characteristics of the car Mitsubishi Galant 9:
Galant latest generation evokes quite conflicting emotions. The appearance of the car is unattractive, it loses even against the background of the “Koreans” of the lower class, which is especially noticeable against the background of a charming predecessor. However, the new Galant is a modern solid car matching your style. Even the basic equipment is equipped with benefits that are not offered in top versions other brands, and it's worth a lot. This car is a smart choice for the practical business person.
