Sedan Mitsubishi Galant. Routine and overhaul of the Mitsubishi Galant engine Main types of repair work

Mitsubishi galant the ninth generation was one of the first cars that came to us not from Europe or Japan. This is a typical "American" modernized for the Russian domestic market. The Russian premiere of this car took place in September 2006, and sales overseas 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 generation Mitsubishi Galant to Russia, all components and assemblies of the car were revised 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.

The main ones are increased to 165 mm ground clearance, a battery with a larger capacity for starting at low temperatures, as well as more powerful than in the American versions, the starter and alternator. After another year and a half, Galant underwent a slight restyling.

The most noticeable changes as a result of the update were the exterior of the car - a new radiator 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 buttons for controlling the audio system and cruise control on the front of the steering wheel (previously these buttons were located on the rear side), new materials for the interior trim "wood-like" (previously - "like aluminum"), and also change the color of the illumination of instruments and vehicle control systems from blue to red.

Now about everything in more detail. After the appearance of Mitsubishi Galant on the Russian market, it turned out that in terms of the price range, the new product is on the same level with the top-end versions of class “D” cars, which include the popular Mazda6, as well as Opel Vectra and Hyundai NF. In turn, the size of the ninth generation Galant competed with more expensive and venerable rivals - Nissan teana, ToyotaCamry 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 driver's electrically adjustable seat makes it easy to find a comfortable driving position. Only the absence of longitudinal adjustment of the steering column reminds of the overseas origin. The annoying blue backlight was replaced with a "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 more understandable to operate them. The plastic of the front panel is soft to the touch, but the quality is not different. Despite the presence of a duplicate speedometer scale in miles, the instrument panel is very informative and raises no objections.

There is real space on the back sofa. With an average height of the front riders, the rear passengers can easily cross their legs and not feel any discomfort. The width of the space is quite enough for three adults, but you will not envy those who sit in the middle. The back seat cushion is molded only for two and when a speed bump passes, the central passenger can easily hit the ceiling with his head. In general, the spaciousness of the cabin is the 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 large loading height. Also, transformation rear seat not provided - for transportation of long items there is only a hatch in the armrest.

The boot lid is opened either with a button on the ignition key or with a lever in the cabin.

All vehicles delivered to 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 multipoint injection system. This power unit has one undeniable advantage, which is the automatic octane correction system, which allows you to fill the tank with 92nd gasoline. With such an engine, the Mitsubishi 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 a 4-speed automatic transmission INVECS-II Sports Mode with a manual gear selection function.

You shouldn't wait for the dynamics of a 158-horsepower engine, so it is better to postpone the "traffic light" races. No wonder the car was developed for the American market. Galant's habits can be characterized by two epithets - soft and imposing. These qualities are manifested in virtually everything. But this does not mean that it is impossible to joke on it. Automatic transmission INVECS-II is able to adapt to the driving style. In dynamic mode, each gear turns to the red zone, and when the throttle is released, the gearbox keeps the rpm, not trying to switch to a step higher in order to react more quickly to pressing the accelerator at the right time. In quiet mode, the switching occurs virtually unnoticed by passengers.

As far as the suspension settings are concerned, the "overseas" habits are also unmistakably captured here. On the asphalt waves there is a rather strong lateral swing. The turns are passed with noticeable rolls. With a slightly sharper approach to the bend, 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 noise 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 ground 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 similar to the Japanese than to the American, I was surprised by the large turning radius - where the "classmates" turn in one pass, the Galant will need at least two. Because of this, there are some inconveniences when maneuvering in a tight parking lot.

Mitsubishi Galant has a fairly extensive list of equipment that competitors cannot boast of at a similar price. Galant is equipped with automatic transmission and cruise control as standard equipment, ABS systems and EBD, fog lights, power windows for all doors, climate control, six airbags, multifunction steering wheel, audio system with 6 speakers and 16-inch alloy wheels with tires

Once upon a time, in the late 1980s, the Mitsubishi Galant was one of the sportiest sedans in its class. It offered steerable rear wheels and a powerful turbocharged version, the VR4. Subsequent generations became more comfortable-oriented, and interest in the model dropped noticeably. A brief revival took place in 1997 when the eighth Galante debuted with an attractive dynamic look. True, the car itself was not so interesting.

The last Galante does not look as daring as before. It is built on the Mitsubishi PS platform - common with the Mitsubishi Endeavor and Eclipse.

Another japanese sedan noticeably added in size, which had a positive effect on the internal dimensions. The width of the cabin has increased to 145 cm, and the space between the backs of the first and second rows - up to 94 cm. Nevertheless, the back sofa is not so spacious, and the three of them are cramped. Inside there are not enough materials more High Quality... The plastic looks cheap, and it starts to creak over time.

The American versions, in addition to the base DE, received three more trim levels: ES, LS and the sporty GTS. The SE (Sport Edition) trim replaced the GTS after restyling in 2008. At the same time, the shape of the rear lights also changed.

Six airbags and full power accessories are included in the DE standard equipment list. The ES version features body-colored moldings, exterior mirrors and door handles. The LS modification acquired an electric driver's seat. Automatic climate control was installed only in the GTS, all others were equipped with conventional air conditioning. Of the assistance systems, only ABS with electronic brake force distribution is provided (except for DE). The stabilization system was not installed.

As for security, the ninth Galant, according to the US Security Administration road traffic NHTSA has earned four stars. The sedan received similar marks from the IIHS Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Engines

The DE and ES versions were equipped with a 4-cylinder 2.4-liter naturally aspirated (4G69) with 160 hp, while the LS and GTS were equipped with a 3.8-liter V6 (6G75) / 230 hp. (since 2008 258 hp). The Russian Mitsubishi Galant 9 was equipped exclusively with a petrol four with a capacity of 158 hp. Both engines have a belt-type timing drive with a change interval of 60,000 km.

The 4G69 is an extremely reliable unit. Problems with it arise solely through the fault of the owner, in particular due to untimely service. Unlike its predecessor - 4G64, hydraulic lifters are not provided here. Therefore, after every 100,000 km, it is necessary to adjust the valve clearance. It is carried out using adjusting screws.

After 150-200 thousand km, oil may appear in the candle wells. It is easy to fix the leak, and you will need about 500 rubles for a set of new gaskets. After a while, the valve stem seals may "harden", which contributes to an increase in oil consumption. For replacement, it is better to use the help of a car service.

Over time, many owners begin to notice the low oil pressure warning lamp burning in full heat. It's all about the sensor itself or its contacts. In the latter case, the disease manifests itself in damp weather or during rain. Moisture gets on the connector pins. It is better to replace the sensor - from 300 rubles.

After 150-200 thousand km, the starter, generator, oxygen sensors and clogged catalyst will require attention. Most likely, due to the vibrations that have appeared, the rear engine support will also have to be replaced - from 3,000 rubles.

Top-end versions with a 3.8-liter V6 are extremely rare in Russia and there is little information on them. The V6 is the same used in the Mitsubishi Pajero IV and Endeavor. There, the engine has proven itself on the positive side. True, there are isolated cases of loosening of the fastening screws of the flaps in the intake manifold and subsequent ingress into the cylinders. And after 150-200 thousand km, due to the natural aging process, attachments begin to fail gradually.

Transmission

The Mitsubishi Galant 9 engines were aggregated only with a 4-speed automatic (F4A4B), which, in combination with a V6, provided the possibility of manual gear selection. In 2008, the V6 was equipped with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The machine is very reliable. The main thing is not to forget to renew the oil in the box every 60,000 km.

After 100,000 km, owners often notice the appearance of small aftershocks. The disease does not progress, so there is no need to worry. Many machines passed 250-300 thousand km without problems and repairs. By this time, the drive oil seals may have to be replaced.

It is worth noting that the automatic transmission, like many machines, does not like long-term slippage. After such "exercises" Galant often goes to the service due to problems with the box.

Undercarriage

The soft suspension absorbs most road bumps. MacPherson struts work on the front axle, and a multi-link design on the rear. Fortunately, the suspension elements are pretty tough. Replacing silent blocks or levers may be needed only after 150-200 thousand km. But shock absorbers can leak after 100,000 km. After 100-150 thousand km, replacement of wheel bearings is often required (from 3,000 rubles for an analogue or 12,000 rubles - for an original assembled with a hub)

After 150-200 thousand km, the power steering pump may buzz. Repair is usually not advisable. Much safer option with replacement. The cost of a new pump is from 13,000 rubles.

The steering rack, as an example of many modern automakers, is durable. Knocks may appear only after 200-250 thousand km, and even then, only on individual copies.

Typical problems and malfunctions

The body is not prone to corrosion. However, when examining the Galant, special attention should be paid to the inside of the doors, hood and sills. Sometimes red spots are found there.

Sometimes after 100-150 thousand km there are problems with the air conditioning compressor - it starts to make noise or howl. The reason may be both in the connection sleeve (from 10,000 rubles) and in the compressor itself (from 65,000 rubles). Often, a problematic unit can be repaired, which is much cheaper.

Conclusion

Mitsubishi Galant does not suffer from any serious illnesses. Malfunctions are usually age-related. True, in case of repairs, you will have to fork out pretty much - new original parts are often unjustifiably expensive. Fortunately, there are plenty of substitutes on the market.

Mitsubishi Galant is a mid-size business-class sedan, the closest competitor to Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Volkswagen passat, Ford Mondeo and other D-class cars. In production since 1974. In various generations, the model was produced in sedan, hatchback and station wagon bodies. Until recently, Galant was offered on the market only as a sedan. In addition, he was considered the most affordable representative of this segment. In 2004, the ninth generation Galant debuted. In 2008, a restyled version of it was released, and in 2012 the production of Galant was completely discontinued due to low demand.

Despite its age, the car does not annoy with breakdowns, it is serviced only by dealers. I am the second owner, for eight years of operation I have changed only the gearbox. As for consumables, it goes without saying. Filters, oils, gasoline - I fill in and change them in a timely manner, according to the regulations.

I buy only used parts, new parts are useless - they are expensive these days, and you will not find them. Of course, Galant breaks down, and quite often. Any technique will fail someday, even Japanese. But in general, I am satisfied with the car, Galant costs me cheap, the main costs are only for gasoline. By the way, a 2-liter engine with a gun consumes 11-12 liters.

With engine 2.4

• Ekaterina, Tambov. I have a Mitsubishi Galant with a 2.4-liter petrol engine. Good quality aspirated, time-tested. For 170 thousand runs, this 150-horsepower never failed, but the reliability of the suspension leaves much to be desired. In the city I fit into 12 liters / 100 km. The car consumes 95th gasoline. Galant is a worthy representative of its class. It's a shame that it was taken out of production. I would buy the next generation, and so far I drive the old man.
• Nikolay, Moscow. I have a 2000 Galant, with a 2.4 engine and a gun. A powerful and sturdy car, I drive it for 14-15 hours a day. The sedan drove 130 thousand km without any serious accidents, and thus proved its reliability. In the urban cycle I keep within 11-12 liters.
• Yuri, Taganrog. The car is quite satisfactory, by the way I have been looking for myself for a long time inexpensive sedan business class. I did not want to buy a new Volga, in the end the choice fell on the supported Galant. I am satisfied with the car, the dynamics and handling are all at a high level. Consumption 12 liters.
• Alexander, Peter. Mitsubishi Galant - standing car, it still looks up to date. With its 2.4-liter engine, you can ignite to the fullest, especially at traffic lights. In general, a kind of city lighter for every day. Consumes from 10 to 13 liters, I fill in the AI-95.
• Vasily, Orenburg. Comfortable and, most importantly, quality car... Galant was advised to me by friends, by the way, one druzhban had exactly the same. The car is equipped with a 2.4-liter engine. The engine produces an acceptable 165 horses, which allows it to accelerate to 220 km / h. Excellent dynamics and handling, there is nothing to be surprised at - Mitsubishi has never had any problems with this. City consumption at the level of 12 liters.
• Pavel, Bryansk. Cool car, optimal transport for every day. From 2005 to 2015 Galant drove 160 thousand km. Kept a stiff upper lip to the last, until I broke him. It was a solid car, a fond memory of him. Consumption 10-12 liters.
• Margarita, Yekaterinoslavl. The car is what you need, serviced in the garage, and even then only on trifles. No major breakdowns, I go and do not complain - I sat down and went as they say. Galant handles well, and is also well adapted to our rough roads. The 2.4-liter engine consumes 10-13 liters, depending on the nature of the ride.

With 2.5 engine

• Maxim, Pyatigorsk. Mitsubishi Galant I have since 2004. I service the wheelbarrow in a timely manner, I never miss the passage of MOT, I buy only original spare parts - this is my recipe for the vitality of my car. The wheelbarrow has never broken down, despite the different operating conditions. I have a 2.5-liter version with an automatic transmission. Peppy acceleration and excellent handling... The suspension is moderately energy-intensive, although sometimes breakdowns occur - all the same chassis tuned hard to prevent roll in corners. In short, a kind of compromise between comfort and handling.
• Denis, Nizhny Novgorod. Galant impressed me from the first day of the trip. The car looks brutal and sporty, and behaves the same way on the road. This is one of the few cars about which we can say with confidence - appearance does not deceive. The 2.5-liter naturally aspirated loves revs, which is very good. Fuel consumption in the city is 12 liters, on the highway I fit into 8-10 liters.
• Nina, Perm Territory. Galant is the best car in terms of power and performance. The 2.5-liter engine is not new, but it allows you to confidently keep in city traffic, even with a margin. And besides, the engine is very economical and reliable, consumption in the city reaches 12 liters.
• Mikhail, Kazan. My Galant is equipped with top-end equipment. The 2.5-liter engine endows the sedan with huge accelerating potential, with which you feel almost at the top - in the city and at traffic lights I overtake everyone. And on the track, you can appreciate the Mitsubishi Galant's first-class ride. All the same, it is not in vain that the car belongs to the business class, along with the Toyota Camry. For 2005, the car looks decent, and is able to give odds to any competitor. The average consumption is 12 liters, and when the pedal is constantly pressed to the floor, it reaches 13 liters.

Generation 9

With engine 2.4

• Dmitry, Novosibirsk. Galant is surprisingly well adapted to cold conditions, and is not afraid of bad roads. The engine starts up with half a turn, and works properly without any special worries. 2.4 liter gasoline engine consumes 14-15 liters per 100 km. I was glad that such a luxurious business sedan "loves" 92nd gasoline.
• Mikhail, Moscow. Great car, ideal for daily commutes and long journeys. In the cabin, there is a margin of space - both in the front and in the back. There are plenty of functions, but still not at the level of modern competitors. In general, Galant was worth the money in 2012, when I bought it. I still drive, pouring 15 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers.
• Alexey, Saratov. Mitsubishi Galant is my first business sedan, I bought it on the secondary market. Before him I drove a GAZ-3110, after which I wanted a real premium car even more, albeit with some reservations. My Galant is equipped with a 2.4-liter engine and consumes from 11 to 15 liters, depending on the nature of the ride.
• Anton, Lipetsk. Acquired Mitsubishi Galant in 2004 to replace GAZ-31105. I am a district official, I needed an inexpensive and comfortable car with a personal driver. From the passenger's point of view, I like the car. Rides softly, there are almost no holes in the suspension, well, except for speed bumps. The sedan is equipped with a 2.4-liter engine producing 158 horses. In the city, we fit into 14 liters per hundred, it is possible to refuel with 92-m gasoline. I still drive Galante, though I had to change three drivers already. The car is not new, but still reliable. Served regularly at the dealership.
• Dmitry, Irkutsk. Satisfied with the car, an ideal car for family and work needs. I am a private entrepreneur looking for an inexpensive business-class sedan. In the mid-2000s, Galant was one of the cheapest cars in this class. I read reviews about him - everyone writes that it is reliable and perfectly adapted for Russian conditions. I was convinced of this in practice, after 20 thousand runs. My Galant is equipped with a 2.4-liter engine and an automatic transmission. Consumption in the city at the level of 14-15 liters, I fill it with 92nd gasoline.
• Oleg, Minsk. I have a 2011 Galant, with a powerful 2.4-liter aspirated engine. Perhaps this is the best representative of its class. The car, as they say, without show-off, looks strict and presentable. In addition, there is nothing to catch the eye in the cabin either - I have a basic version, which does not even have a central display. But for me, handling and dynamics are more important, and with this Galant is in complete order. Acceleration to hundreds in 11 seconds, average consumption of 14 liters.
• Denis, Magnitogorsk. The car gives me pleasure for the whole day, I drive it for 14-15 hours. The car is used in an elite taxi, my clients are happy. Galant is comfortable and capable of driving fast, fortunately the 2.4-liter engine is capable of a lot. Consumes up to 15 liters.
• Leonid, Bryansk. In 2017, my Galant turns 10 years old, during which time the car has shown itself to be on the good side. Fast and reliable, with a full-fledged five-seater cabin and a huge trunk. With a 2.4 engine, it consumes from 12 to 14 l / 100 km.
• Karina. Sochi. I liked the car, it's worth the money. Powerful and comfortable, level of reliability. Consumption 14 liters, pouring 92nd gasoline.
  Alexey, Dnepropetrovsk. I have a Galant since 2010, a 2.4 liter version with a gun. I would like to praise the car for its decent dynamics for the business class, impenetrable suspension, minimal roll in corners, functional interior and good handling. City consumption is 14 liters.

Initially, these cars were produced in Japan, and since 1994, cars assembled at the Illinois plant have been seen in American markets. First of all, Mitsubishi cars have earned their awards due to their high consumer qualities. Today, many car enthusiasts buy cars from this company. After taking part in numerous rallies, the company began developing a completely new model called the Mitsubishi Galant 9 VR-4.

This model is a sporty example of a model version. The sports model had a 2.49 liter V6 twinturbo engine, a 4-cylinder petrol engine (such engine is often found in 1992 models). All VR-4 models have four-wheel drive... V this car 4-stage is provided.

The car's engine is adapted for countries with cold climates.

All cars that are delivered to Russia today are equipped with only one engine - a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder MIVEC engine with 4 valves per cylinder, and an ECI-MULTI injection distribution system is also provided. The power unit has one important advantage - the presence of an automatic octane correction system, which allows you to refuel the engine with 92 gasoline. With it, the engine can produce 158 hp. and 213 Nm, which it reaches at 4,000 rpm. in min. Together with the engine, you can only use automatic transmission- four-speed automatic transmission INVECS-II Sports Mode with manual gear selection function.

The 158 engine does not have crazy dynamics, so it is better not to race it "at the traffic light". This car was created with the American consumer in mind. In general, the car can be described as soft and imposing. These qualities are present literally in every detail. But this does not mean that fast driving is prohibited on it.

The automatic transmission INVECS-II adjusts itself to the individual driving style of the driver. In the dynamic mode, each of the gears turns to the red zone, and during the gas release, the box continues to hold speed, slowly switch to a higher stage in order to respond in time to pressing the accelerator pedal. In a quiet driving mode, passengers should not even notice gear changes.

Mitsubishi Galant 9 has a battery with increased capacity, more than 70% of all parts are galvanized, the bottom has a partial anti-corrosion coating. Engine with a volume of 2.4 liters and 158 hp. allows you to accelerate the car to 100 km / h. already 11.5 seconds after the start. A maximum speed is 200 km / h. Fuel, depending on driving conditions, ranges from 7.2 to 13.5 liters. for 100 km.

All versions are supplied with only one engine - 4G94 (R4 16V) with a volume of 2 liters. and direct injection GDI (145 hp), and an automatic four-speed transmission INVECS-II.

The engine displacement is 2378 cc and its torque is 213 N.M. The average fuel consumption is 9.5 liters. Fuel tank has a capacity of 67 liters.

Interior of Mitsubishi Galant 9

If we talk about the interior, then it is important to emphasize the following: buttons appeared that allow you to control the cruise control and the audio system, they are located on the steering wheel itself, or rather its front part (before that they were at the back). The interior trim has also changed - new wood-like materials were used for it (before that a different material was used - “aluminum-like”), the illumination of control systems and car instruments has also changed, previously it was blue, but now it has become red.

Now let's take a closer look at all this. When the car was released on the Russian market, it turned out that its price was equal to the cost of top-end versions of D-class cars, in which the well-known Hyundai NF and. However, the size of the 9th generation Galant can compete with more expensive rivals like, and.

So let's go inside the car. We will immediately see that the front seats do not have an American profile at all - the backrest has lateral support that reliably fixes the driver's body. Thanks to the electrically adjustable driver's seat, you can easily sit comfortably behind the wheel. The fact that the Mitsubishi Galant 9 was made by a foreign manufacturer says only that steering column has no longitudinal adjustment.

The blue backlight that annoyed all drivers so much has been replaced by an orange “European-style” backlight. The cruise control and audio controls have been moved from the rear of the steering wheel to the front, making them easier to use. For the front panel, soft plastic is used, but not particularly high quality. Although there is a duplicate speedometer scale in miles, the instrument panel is very informative, it was carefully created.

The back seat of the car is very spacious. If passengers of average height are sitting in front, those who are in the back can easily cross their legs and feel very comfortable. If you look at the width, then there is enough space for three adults, but still the one who will sit in the middle will not be in the best position. The pillow on the back sofa is molded for only two people, which means that when you pass a speed bump, the passenger who is in the center will slightly touch the ceiling with his head. Howbeit, spacious salon is one of the main features of the Mitsubishi Galant, it also compensates for the somewhat simple finish.

There is a mechanical tilt angle adjustment on the steering wheel; the steering wheel in this car is not adjustable for reach. In the basic configuration of Intense, cruise control and an audio system with 6 speakers and a servo drive for each glass are provided. Of the expensive Instyle equipment, one can note the driver's seat servos, leather seats, an electric sunroof and a high-quality Rockford Fosgate audio system with a subwoofer and 8 speakers, its power is 650 watts. For safety, airbags are provided, there are 6 of them, in addition, the seat belts are equipped with pretensioners. In safety tests conducted in the USA, NHTSA Mitsubishi was able to win 5 stars and thus receive the highest rating.

Suspension

Mitsubishi car Galant characteristics the front suspension has such, it is created according to the scheme, on the back there is a multi-link. By European standards, such a suspension can be considered quite soft, it allows you to swing a little on the undulating bends of the asphalt.

In essence, the model is an underestimated alternative, and other representative cars of German production. The manufacturing company presents this car with two body styles - a spacious station wagon and a sedan, but either of them makes this car beautifully designed, refined, stylish, powerful and comfortable. But despite all the advantages of this car and the recent update of its appearance, Mitsubishi Galant, as before, remains not the most noticeable and fashionable.

It is worth noting that, in general, the ninth generation of the Galant car is a reliable and durable car. Today, a well-groomed nine can cost from 13 to 17 thousand dollars.

The model runs on a gasoline engine, the volume of which is 2.4 liters, and the power is equal to 158 horsepower, it has a four-speed automatic transmission gears, which allows the car to accelerate to a hundred in just 11.5 seconds, the maximum permissible speed of this car is 200 km / h. The average fuel consumption is 9.5 liters. for 100 km.

The main technical characteristics of the car:

• Body - class E sedan;
• Manufacturer - Japanese company Mitsubishi;
• There are five places in total;
• Motor - gasoline;
• Engine volume - 2.4 l.;
• Power - 158 hp;
• Transmission - five-speed automatic;
• The drive is of the front type;
• The maximum available speed is 200 km / h.

To summarize, we get a spacious sedan with comfortable suspension settings, good ride, excellent noise isolation and a decent list of equipment. It is a business-class sedan with a respectable yet sporty appearance. Although this car may not be for driving enthusiasts, it has strong lateral sway, cornering roll and a large turning radius.

If you want to have a prestigious and comfortable car, then Mitsubishi Galant 9 is for you.

Having skated on the Almera for 5 years, I set out to change it for something comfortable, reliable, of a higher class.

The car is needed for summer operation around the town. In winter and out of town I go to Forester. First I wanted to take Renault Latitude. The price bribed me, for the 2-liter version with a variator they asked for 850 thousand, plus the shares at that time, the price was 790 thousand. Taking a ride, I realized that this was what I wanted, but the age-related stinginess played. Thinking why to lose money on resale, if you can take a fresher boo, and go to rest on the saved money. A hard search for ads began.

Having plunged into the vastness of the Internet, I began to read information about this car. What I saw on the road turned out to be a rare specimen of raliart with a 3.8 v6 engine. Such people are only driven from America. Disappointed, I began to read about the regular version 2.4. Reviews about reliability, comfort, dynamics were only positive. No diseases were found in the car and the price of the secondary housing among classmates was tempting. I dug information for two weeks, registered on the galantovodov forum and learned a lot about tuning, maintenance services, spare parts stores. Realizing that I already know well enough, it would be time to see live what is on sale. There were few ads, mostly dorestyles, but I wanted to restyle, since it already had an improved ECU. As luck would have it, there were decent unit options on sale. I already made an appointment to see one sample, and then, oh luck, I saw an ad from Alexey (Vazovod) in an inconspicuous Temko "Honest cars from Vazovoda". Having written off we agreed to meet.

Seeing the car at first, I did not understand that this is what I was looking for for so long. That black Raliart still loomed in my head. Well, okay, the car is still the same. Ride, I got a delight. We chose the road more bumpy, appreciated the smoothness of the suspension. I checked the kickdown, the acceleration for almost 2 tons is good. There is spaciousness inside, the view is amazing, the roof does not press, I sat down at home on an armchair. Appearance of the interior a little led to the carelessness of the previous owner (a woman drove), a lot of scratches on the front panels, but not critical, this is fixable. Outside, everything is as in the ad, the body was not painted, there was only repair front bumper, Alexey warned about this in advance, it is also not critical. I decided to take it.

Having issued the car, I decided, while there is time, to bring the car to mind. First, I changed the brake discs, embedded a cabin carbon filter, bought a summer set of discs (the tires came from Alexei, Yokohama all-season, so-so, I'll put the summer conti in the summer), changed the air filter. The oil was changed 5 thousand ago, it was clean in color, left a trace of MOT.

The question arose to change the timing belt or not. Mileage 65,000. In the book, a replacement, 90 thousand on the forums are advised to change, if the valve is broken, it bends. In general, I decided it would be better to immediately invest and forget about it. I didn’t regret the replacement, because during the work it was discovered that the oil seal was sweating. Changed the belt, rollers, oil seals. You can ride safely.

Driving euphoria began. The car goes easily, softly. It drives great for a big sedan. The seats are soft and comfortable. The climate works by 5 points, although the auto mode is confused, it works clearer on Subaru. A car for pleasant driving, you turn on the music and enjoy pleasant bass. Behind the relatives, too, relax, drove after spitting on the Forester. Not conducive to dynamic driving, you just don't want to, you get the pleasure of a pleasant swaying, a real American.

Somehow, looking at the forum about the refinement of the dynamics of the car, I saw an interesting topic. They discussed the development of a supercharger for Galant, which a man from Perm was engaged in. Apparently thoughts about Galant 3.8 Raliart are sitting not only in my head, it turns out that almost all owners of Galantes dream about him. In general, about the injection. This guy has been working on it for 3 years already, everything seems to be coming to an end, but something is wrong at the last moment. This idea was interesting in that the installation would allow increasing the acceleration to 6 seconds, in Raliart, according to the passport, 7 seconds. In general, in the process of work, he faced the issue of updating the firmware. Together with another genius, they developed the program, brought it to the stand and tested it in practice on their machine. According to their charts, the acceleration decreased to 8.3 seconds. The audience received such news with approving applause.

At the request of galantovodov to try out the miracle firmware on their cars, the man was summoned to Moscow.

And so a man with a laptop arrived at the Yaroslavl station. We met without an orchestra, everyone wanted to try it out faster.

The first one went. Delight. Where have you been before. Further, in turn, emotions from people simply flow. Finally I am. We connected a laptop to the connector, two catalysts were disconnected under the hood. I push the pedal as usual, in vain. Slip, tires really shit. I went, flew, pressed into the seat, good, the city is the same, and the speed is already 140. Came back, a man asks, change back to stock? What are you, over my corpse! That's how I discovered the need for speed in Galante.

What has changed? There were technical explanations about air consumption and all kinds of technical crap. I realized that the power did not increase, but the torque increased. The cut-off is triggered not at 6, but at 6.5 thousand, the pick-up does not come from 4 thousand revolutions, as in the drain, already from 2 thousand, and the box began to think faster. Accelerated with a stopwatch on the phone, 9.5 seconds. But the data is poor, my reaction may be late and yet the all-season yoka is constantly digging. Check-in with a 3 liter Outlander, overtook by two buildings. With the Audi A4 1.8 turbo - half the body. True, all this is childish, but the fact is, from 80 to 140 acceleration is impressive, overtaking is a pleasure.

Concluding my review, I want to say that I was not mistaken in the car. The car is undervalued, and Mitsu is a minus that they saved too much on the ESP and the on-board computer, although the second one with a navigator can be ordered in the states, the issue price is 45 tr.
