Mitsubishi Galant: The budget will withstand

Not so long ago, Mitsubishi Galant survived restyling. With a fresh look, the updated model Maxim Sachkov cast a fresh look. Photo: George Sadkov.

Sparkling with rounded sides, Galant imposingly rolled out of the gate of the dealer center. A light restyling benefited him, although this car is still elegant to call this car. However, such machines love more for solidity and size rather than for grace.
However ... even I, being medium, sitting in a driver’s place, support the ceiling. True, the precious millimeters hinges the hatch, but even without it, tall drivers should not count on a comfortable landing. Do not consider me a fertilize, but why is the steering column regulated only in one plane? And what about the engine, in the 2.4-liter volume of which is scattered a little more than one and a half hundred forces? And the satellite he has an appropriate machine, which has only four steps.
With maneuvers in a cramped lane, Galant showed himself very clumsy. In addition, massive feed prevented the review back. The rear view camera would not have prevented, but it is only included in the most expensive set.
However, with an increase in the kilometer on the odometer, my attitude towards Galant is changing. His imposing behavior calms, and I gradually begin to notice dignity. The spirit does not capture from accelerated dynamics, but there is enough power supply so as not to feel discomfort either in city traffic jams or on a high -speed highway. At the same time, the engine is digesting Russian gasoline A92. In addition, the motor and automatic sung perfectly perfectly covering each other, masking weaknesses.
The energy -intensive and soft suspension smooths out any ulcers of the roadway, and the lumen under the body of 165 mm allows you to almost not lose speed in front of the lying police and tram tracks. After some time, you completely stop pulling the steering wheel to go around the next pothole. Moreover, Galant reacts to the teams slowly, although adequately, without unpleasant surprises. But the farther, the less you want sudden movements, as if you become older than a dozen (or even more) years older. There is even a desire to read the moral of the guy who, having drove along the side of the road, is trying to screw himself in the general stage. Seeing the solid silhouette of Galant, I stepped aside. That's right, the elders must be respected!
Mitsubishi Galant is not young, but relevant: the anti-crisis version of the business sedan.
Relatively affordable machines, including among solid sedans, are becoming less and less. Galant is just one of those. The car is in the basic, but by no means poor configuration costs 822,600 rubles, and the top version is 971,640 rubles. On such conditions, many buyers in the current economic situation will close their eyes to shortcomings.
