1992 Mitsubishi Galant SE review from Australia and New Zealand
"High class Japanese-made motoring at a bargain price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Spark plug came loose, and I tightened it back up again. No damage.
General comments?
This car is excellent buying now 12-13 years on. It was a high class car and has many options, dual-mode AC, dual mode electronic 4 speed auto, 4 speaker stereo, central locking, adjustable seat heights, lumbar support, vanity mirrors, reading lamps for all, dual odometers, etc etc. All the mod-cons. Metallic paint.
Exellent ride, well noise insulated, acceptable performance, although no rocket. Standard ULP. Good economy, 10.5l/100kn in the city, 8.2l/100km on highway.
The hatch gives access to huge space, and the seats all fold down cleverly to provide almost bed like space.
Oil should be clean and not black, check for leaks.
Timing is from a chain, not a belt, so gives 100,000km life per chain. Check for replacement at 100,000k intervals when buying.
Only things missing are a CD player, and keyless entry, not standard in 1992.
