Title: Vr4 Mitsibushi Legnum.
Post by: feeutfo on 06 December 2010, 19:14:50

Passed one of these today on the M4. Lovely looking car imo. Anyone owned one?

Had a look at the interior of a Galant once though, soooo dull!

I had a 2.5 V6 Galant (1998) for a short few months.  Interior was dull, but very comfortable.  The Leather was excellent quality.  Performance was not what I was expecting from a V6 though, very sluggish compared to the Omega...... probably down to the Auto in the Mitsubishi being rubbish (INVECS 2 I think).

Considered a Galant VR4 saloon once. I do like the look of them.

Plenty quick enough in twin turbo form but a bit removed from what's going on at the road, I thought.

Sanity got the better of me in the end. ::)

I had a 98 v6 manual and loved it,good on fuel and in manual form pretty quick,in fact the only reason I don't still have it is because of low kerb/towing weight.One of the best cars I have ever owned :y

I always liked the look of them but never had a chance yet to give one a go.  When I was looking for a new car it was one of the names on the list, but I opted for the Mig instead.
