Owner reviews
Video review
So I decided after 2 years of owning this miracle to write a review. General emotions from the car are good. I call it a "ship" - big (huge interior), heavy (like a tank on the highway), and, of course, clumsy (large turning radius - you have to get used to the dimensions).
The engine and gearbox are a great combination, who writes about bad dynamics— cunning, since the gearbox (an ancient proven 4-speed automatic) is adaptive (if you constantly press, it breaks, if it is constantly quiet, then it adapts and starts to slow down, save fuel).
In general, the engine, gearbox and suspension are very reliable and proven. The salon is large and comfortable. The suspension is soft and comfortable. There are enough dynamics (acceleration from 60 to 100 km/h, from 100 to 140 km/h — even). Great music (Roquefort) but no USB. Great family car!
Disadvantages, but what about without them:
1. Fuel consumption: the city is 15 liters, the highway is 10-11, it’s good that the 92nd eats.
2. Dimensions (well, what did you want with a length of under 5 meters).
3. The trunk is average, although a baby stroller fits, and there is still enough space.
4. After 3.5 thousand, the engine can be heard (did Shumko hood and engine).
5. In time, minor breakdowns begin to come out.Sergey, review about Mitsubishi Galant 2.4 Automatic transmission 2007
A new one was taken from the salon, like a workhorse, for everyday driving, in any weather. I would like to note the reliability of this machine. 127 thousand km covered in three years different roads in the roadless expanses of Ukraine. Only consumables changed, the replacement of which required a guarantee. I left the warranty for 80 thousand km.
Hardy, moderately soft and moderately hard suspension. A friend compared with his Mercedes E-class for 90 thousand USD. e. He noted the good energy intensity of the suspension. Stable and maneuverable on steep turns, descents and ascents at a speed of 150-160 km/h. At 180-190 km / h in a straight road keeps well.
Spacious interior, children literally walk on it. Enough trunk. I would like a little more horses, but there is enough motor on the tracks. In the city, I would like more lightness and playfulness in the steering wheel, but it is made for the track.
Consumption is acceptable, it all depends on how you press the pedal. The main thing is that it consumes what is declared. Lil is basically 95th gasoline. It happened that the second one also flooded, but immediately felt the difference in the operation of the engine. With our quality of gasoline on the highways, it is better to pour a good 95th, less consumption and the machine runs faster, and most importantly smoothly. Brakes suit completely.
Of the minuses:
- "Bugs" in the cabin, even new car;
- Absence on-board computer, however, you get used to it, the main thing is not to forget to fill in the fuel when the sensor lights up;
— Large triangular dead zones in the area of mirrors, a couple of times I lost sight of other road users in them;
- Large turning radius in the city, when driving on the paving stones in the steering wheel, there is a slight rattle, a little not pleasant.
- On the passenger seat in front, the torpedo descends at an angle downwards and for a tall person, the shoes rest against it.
- In winter, a lot of sand flies from under the front wheels on sprinkled roads and cuts strongly bends in the lower part rear doors and arches, the noise from this is strong.
- Appearance - the front end is in doubt, but otherwise I even like it.The owner drives a Mitsubishi Galant 9 automatic 2.4 2009
- the 2.4 engine is rather weak with an (empty) car weight of 2 tons.
— Box frisky, but begs the 5th gear.
— leather in the cabin of the late 90s, not soft, no perforation.
— low ceiling (complete with sunroof) with my height of 172 cm!!!
— Steering wheel adjustment only up and down, uncomfortable.
- The screen of the radio in bright light is hard to read.
- dynamics by 3, controllability by sharp turns on 4.
- the ventilation system is not thought out. No matter how you twist it, it blows in the face.
— Poor soundproofing.
- no parking sensors.High clearance.
+ great suspension.
+ dynamic acceleration.
+ spacious salon, especially at the rear (due to the modest trunk).
+ low fuel consumption, given the weight of the car + omnivorous.
+ inexpensive service.
+ daring appearance, although the front view is controversial, it is worth taking a closer look at an angle.Review about Mitsubishi Galant 2.4 automatic 2009
The ninth generation of the Mitsubishi Galant began its history in the distant autumn of 2003, when mass production of the car began. The car was built on the PS platform, which was developed by the North American division of Mitsubishi and was intended for mid-size and front-wheel drive cars. In addition to the Galant model, such models as the Endeavor crossover and the Eclipse sports compact were produced on the same platform. All three models were part of the so-called "Project America", the purpose of which was the mass production of Mitsubishi cars for the United States market. Exactly last fact and became a key factor in the issue of a sharp change in the design of the Galant compared to the previous generation of the car, which many fell in love with sportswear. In Russia, the start of sales of the ninth generation Galant began in 2006, ended in 2010. The model finally left the world market in 2012.
In 2008, the Galant IX began to be produced in a restyled version, which received updates in appearance, such as: front bumper, fog lights, radiator grille, headlights, taillights. In addition, the interior of the updated model now had a silver trim instead of woodgrain and dashboard changed the design. On the technical side, the changes were minimal - these are the front brakes, exhaust system began to have strictly 2 lambdas, and there were two cooling fans. All of the above changes relate primarily to cars that were officially sold on the territory of the CIS countries. Cars in the North American market are slightly different from ours, for example, the size of the side mirrors, the shape of the front fenders, ground clearance etc.

Mitsubishi Galant IX engines.
On the territory of the Russian Federation, the model Galant ninth generation was sold only with a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine of 2.4 liters. (model 4G69), which had a maximum power of 158 (160) hp. at 5500 rpm and max. torque 213Nm at 4000 rpm. The 4G69 motor is nothing more than an updated old man 4G64, which has been produced since 1983. The 4G69 is the last motor to be part of the large family of Sirius motors. Compared to the 4G64, the height of the cylinder block has been reduced by 6mm in the new engine. up to 284mm., put lighter pistons, connecting rods and crankshaft- 278g, 530g. and 14.9kg. respectively., made the diameter of the cylinders larger - 87mm., and also increased the diameters of the intake and exhaust valves to 34.0 and 30.5mm. respectively. A completely new cylinder head was introduced, which had a system for changing the valve timing and valve lift height MIVEC. Used as a timing drive toothed belt, the recommended replacement interval of which is 90 thousand km, or 5 years of operation. There are no hydraulic lifters on the 4G69 engine, which is why every 45 thousand km. valve clearances need to be adjusted.
For almost 15 years of operation of cars with this engine, and it was installed not only on Mitsubishi car models, but also on large-circulation Chinese cars such as BYD S6, JMC Vigor Pickup 4x4 and Great Wall Haval H5, we can safely say that the engine is mega-reliable and not whimsical, if you meet the deadlines and regularly perform maintenance work maintenance of the power plant. The resource of the 4G69 engine is 400-500 thousand km. Only after runs of 200-250 thousand km. ask for a replacement or repair of some attachments- generator, starter, as well as lambda and catalyst. There are problems with the oil pressure sensor, sometimes you have to change the gasket set at the candle wells due to the appearance of oil there. There are also rare cases of an increase in the oily appetite of the motor, as a rule, the cause of this is hardened valve stem seals who are asking for a replacement.
Outside the Russian Federation, Galant was also produced with a naturally aspirated V6 engine of 3.8 liters. ( 6G75) with a maximum power of 233 (since 2008 261) hp. at 5250 (6000) rpm and max. cool torque 250 (329) Nm at 4000 (2700) rpm. This power point part of the Cyclone V6 engine family. This engine is a descendant of the 6G74 model with a volume of 3.5 liters. - cast iron cylinder block, piston stroke 90mm, cylinder diameter 95mm, compression ratio 9.8. Forged connecting rods. The cylinder head has a single shaft design with 24 valves. In addition, a system for changing the valve timing and valve lift height MIVEC has been installed. As a drive, as well as on a 2.4l engine. a belt is used, the replacement interval of which is the same - 90 thousand km. The 6G75 engine has shown itself to be a fairly reliable unit, its resource is from 400 thousand km. run. Of the rare, but well-aimed problems, the following can be voiced: There were cases when the screws for fastening the dampers of the variable geometry intake manifold system were unscrewed arbitrarily and, as a result, all these screws getting into the cylinders led the owners to capital ... Similar cases were on 6G74 (DOHC) engines ) and seems to be inherited.
Transmission Mitsubishi Galant IX.
Before restyling, both engines were paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission model F4A4B in the 4L1Z modification. Moreover, with the 6G75 engine, the driver had the opportunity to manually shift gears. Starting with restyling, the V6 version of the car began to be produced with an automatic transmission in 5 steps. Rules recommended by the owners partial replacement oil in automatic transmission is a mileage of 50-60 thousand km. The resource for both automatic transmissions with proper maintenance is 250-350 thousand km.
pendant and steering Mitsubishi Galant IX.
Suspension - MacPherson front, multi-link rear. Very soft and reliable. Apart from the suspension struts, which last up to 120 thousand km, the rest of the parts begin to ask for repairs on runs over 150-200 thousand km. The owners of the ninth generation Mitsubishi Galant do not remember about the rail until runs of 250-300 thousand km. But the power steering pump may buzz a little earlier - on a run of 200-250 thousand km.
Conclusion.
Mitsubishi Galant ninth and so far latest generation is certainly interesting car- with a rather controversial appearance, the sedan boasts a fairly large interior space in its class, a very comfortable suspension and resource engines with good performance. Certainly there are typical age cars ailments, but all of them can be solved quite budgetary.
The current Mitsubishi Galant - a car not so much Japanese as American - is absolutely not needed in Europe. In Europe, no one is waiting for Galant, but we (in the automotive sense), although not America, but, moreover, not Europe. Remembering, still loved, previous Mitsubishi generations Galant, which we drove, we drive, and we will drive for a long time, everyone asked: “When?”. Russia is an important market for Mitsubishi, and our opinion cannot be ignored. Here we got what we wanted.
It is unlikely that the assessment of the design of the 9th generation Mitsubishi Galant will be news: it (especially in the front part) is strange, incomprehensible, and even simply ugly for some. A massive hump in the middle of the hood, an inexpressive grille, but most importantly - headlights! The headlights (where are you - the lovely squinted stripes of Mitsubishi Galant light elements of previous generations?) Have replaced some kind of quadrangles from the Volga.
One of the leaders of the distributor Mitsubishi, noted that while "Galant" is sold a little worse than expected. Obviously, in the first months of Russian sales, most of those who were waiting for the Mitsubishi Galant (and many were waiting for it) simply did not have time to try the car on the go - which means they only appreciated the appearance. And they didn't like the looks. Design Mitsubishi Galant 9th generation (2004) has absolutely nothing to do with the style of the previous Mitsubishi Galant.
But they are greeted by clothes, but they see off ... On the road, the opinion about the car becomes much better.
Firstly, behind the controversial appearance of the car lies a huge interior.
Secondly, all controls in the Mitsubishi Galant are clear and in place; with an abundance of options, you do not feel that you have been overwhelmed with information. Buttons in Mitsubishi car Galant is slightly larger than in the Lancer, despite the much more modest equipment of the latter. Only not too good: an excessively large steering wheel and radio buttons that do not fit into the center console. Here again, the designers were not up to par.
Thirdly, the car pleased with convenient details. The main thing is: a driver's seat with an electric drive and a wide range of adjustments, a clear parking sensors and a wide armrest with a roomy box.
Fourth, and most importantly: Mitsubishi Galant is very good on the go. The car handles just fine, although the steering wheel itself is not the most comfortable in girth. The engine and “box” work almost perfectly, although many will want more playfulness from such a machine. Moderately stiff suspension, providing decent comfort, is good both in a straight line and in corners. Mitsubishi bites into the road, maintaining good stability in any reasonable trajectory.
But I don’t want to drive a Mitsubishi Galant recklessly - it’s not easy to “ignite” it. The adaptive “automatic” adapts to the driver, but does not give him extra freedom.
New Mitsubishi America saw Galant in April 2003, but we - only 3 years later. Residents of the US and Canada can choose a 3.8-liter 230-horsepower V6, but we only have a 2.4-liter 158-horsepower unit. The new Mitsubishi Galant was almost completely developed in the States and for the States: design - in California, "technology" - in Michigan, assembly - in Illinois. It's not hard to guess which country's Mitsubishi was seen sitting in the driver's and passenger seats of the Galant.
Bottom line: the car could be better. Under the hood could be a 3.8-liter engine and mechanical transmission, novice drivers would be happy with the ESP system. And the Japanese could entrust the design to their own specialists. But how long would it take to prepare such a Mitsubishi Galant, and will we need it like this?
Prices on the 9th generation Mitsubishi Galant in 2007 on Russian market start from 757 thousand rubles.

In 1970, a station wagon and a two-door modification with a hardtop body without a B-pillar appeared. A little later, the Colt Galant GTO was released - a dynamic coupe with a sloping rear end and a self-locking differential (those cars were rear-wheel drive). The most powerful modification of the MR was equipped with a very high-tech 4G32 twin-shaft engine with a working volume of 1.6 liters, which developed 125 hp. with.
2nd generation (A112, A114, A115), 1973–1977
In June 1973, the second generation Galant debuted as a standalone model. Two body styles were offered - a four-door sedan and a two-door hardtop. In some countries, the car was sold under the name Mitsubishi Sapporo, in Europe - as the Colt Galant, and in the USA - as the Dodge Colt. The most powerful modification was equipped with a two-liter 125-horsepower Astron engine. And in 1975 appeared a new version GTO, main feature which was the engine with two balancer shafts.
3rd generation (A120/A130), 1976–1980
In 1976, the third generation Galant was released with a chopped "American" design and spring rear suspension instead of spring. Saloon and station wagons were called Galant Sigma in some markets, while coupes were called Galant Lambda or Sapporo. In Australia, the Galant began to be produced at the Chrysler plant - as the Chrysler Sigma. In the US, the coupe variant was sold under the name .
4th generation, 1980–1987
In 1980, as a result of deep restyling, the fourth generation appeared - Galant grew up a bit and acquired a rear independent suspension. The standard engine was the 4G63 engine of the Sirius family - a two-liter unit with a capacity of 110 hp. with. with electronic fuel injection. Two years later, a turbocharged modification appeared. Another novelty was Japan's first "passenger" 2.3-liter turbodiesel.
5th generation, 1983–1989
In September 1983, an all-new fifth generation Galant was introduced in Japan. It was a mid-range front-wheel drive sedan equipped with electric power steering (EPS) and automatic body leveling suspension (ECS). From this generation began the division into "American" and "European" Galant: in Europe they sold cars with in-line "fours" of 2.0 and 2.4 liters, and in the States - with a V-shaped three-liter "six". In addition to the sedan, a hardtop version was produced without a B-pillar. There was also a modification with a 2.0 turbo engine with a capacity of 150 hp. with.
6th generation, 1987–1993
The sixth generation Galant was introduced in October 1987. It was based on the platform from the previous Galant, but it was a technically more complex and sophisticated car. Smaller engines were equipped with multi-valve heads, ABS was installed in the brake drive. There was an all-wheel drive modification VR4 with a self-locking center differential and a two-liter turbocharged engine with a capacity of 240 hp. with. On request, it was possible to install a rear cross-axle differential lock. In addition, the Quartet was fully controlled - rear wheels turned at a small angle by a hydraulic actuator.
7th generation, 1992–1998
In May 1992, the seventh generation Galant appeared. The car was slightly larger and heavier than its predecessor, distinguished by a “rounded” design and a wide range of engines. The design of the chassis has become even more complicated - levers and hinges have been added to the suspension, four-wheel drive and the steering on all four wheels have also been revised. The VR4 version received a two-liter V6 engine with two turbines with a capacity of 240 hp. with. As before, Mitsubishi Galant was produced with sedan and hatchback bodies, and the hardtop was offered only on Japanese market entitled
In 2003, Mitsubishi stopped selling the “eighth” Galant everywhere except Japan: until 2006, a sedan with a two-liter “direct” engine with a capacity of 145 hp was produced for the local market. with.
were considered sports sedans, which can not only transfer the whole family, but also bring driving pleasure. Mitsubishi Galant 9 was created specifically for the American market, a real failure was that in the North American market, which marketers were counting on, the new Galant was sold three times worse than the eighth. In the USA, Galant in its ninth reincarnation was introduced at the end of 2003, the car was assembled in the American city of Normal, in the state of Illinois. The machine was created on the PS platform, which stands for "Project America", (State - states). After a commercial failure in the US, two years later, in 2006 big sedan began to be supplied to the CIS markets. Cars supplied for the CIS countries have 308 differences from American cars.
Appearance:
The dimensions of the latest Mitsubishi Galant are much larger than the previous model, the car has added as much as 23.5 cm in length, in terms of dimensions this car can even be compared with , and . Recall that the ninth generation was produced only in the sedan. Despite the apparent massiveness, Mitsubishi's drag coefficient is 0.31, which is very good. side mirrors already in the basic configuration are equipped with heating. The design was created in the Californian design studio Mitsubishi and Akinori Nakanishi, a talented designer who painted the eighth Mitsubishi Galant did not work on the ninth generation of the model, but later it was he who painted the tenth generation. 
During the production of appearance the cars were changed, the taillights became “elongated” and not “square” as before, the radiator grille also changed, which lost its “beak” after the update. In the basic equipment, the sedan sits on sixteen-inch rims with 215/60 tires. Note that a similar move, to reorient family sedans with a sporty character to business class sedans, was made by Subaru, with the last .
Salon:
The salon is also the advantage of the ninth generation Galant, because in terms of space it is comparable to business sedans and surpasses in interior space and. Steering wheel has a mechanical adjustment of the angle of inclination, the steering wheel in the Galant is not adjustable for reach. 
The basic Intense package includes a multifunction steering wheel with audio control keys and cruise control, respectively, the cruise control itself and an audio system with six speakers and a servo drive for all windows are included in the equipment. Expensive equipment Instyle includes: leather seats, driver's seat servos, a power sunroof and an expensive Rockford Fosgate audio system with eight speakers and a subwoofer, the system's power is 650W. For safety, there are six airbags that are provided as standard and seat belt pretensioners. In the American NHTSA safety tests, Mitsubishi scored five stars - the highest rating. The rear sofa is wide, but it is designed for two, the average passenger, when a car hits a bump, can reach his head to the ceiling. Due to the wheelbase increased by 11.5 cm compared to the previous Mitsubishi Galant, the rear has become more spacious. Despite the increased dimensions, the trunk volume has decreased from 470 to 435 liters, but under the raised floor of the Galant there is a full-size spare wheel.
Technical part and characteristics of Mitsubishi Galant
For Mitsubishi Galant intended for the CIS it is offered reliable engine 2.4l. The 4G69 four-cylinder engine is equipped with MIVEC variable valve timing and ECI - MULTI port injection. The motor develops 158hp and 213N.M of torque. For the Russian and Ukrainian market, only automatic transmission gears Invecs 2. The box has a manual mode and can adapt to the driver's driving style. The 2.4 engine is known from Outlander, its advantage is the absence of a GDI injection system, which is not very fond of domestic gasoline. power unit equipped with an automatic octane correction system, which allows you to drive on 92 gasoline.
Once every 20,000 - 30,000, the nozzles should be flushed and the spark plugs should be replaced. Replacing the timing belt along with rollers for Galant should be carried out no later than a run of 90 thousand. There are known cases of radiator leakage, which are not always possible to fix, and a new one costs $ 800.
In the US market, a modification was offered from V6 to 233 and 258 hp, which is known from the Pajero model, but sixes were not officially supplied to the CIS.
The front suspension Galant is made according to the McPherson scheme, a multi-link is installed at the rear. By European standards, the suspension is soft and allows some buildup on asphalt waves. The disadvantage of the model is that there is no ESP (electronic stabilization system) even as an additional equipment.
