1999 Mitsubishi Galant 2.0 from United Arab Emirates
Summary:
Nice car, just wish the spares where a little cheaper
Faults:
The problems started with a few vibrations, the source of which could not be determined. The switch console on the drivers side door started vibrating, followed by some vibration from the cassette player. The front axle broke down at 140,000 km and had to be replaced.
General Comments:
Car is fun and comfortable to drive.
Love the shape.
Boot is quite spacious for a car of its size.
Spare parts are significantly higher compared to rivals and this gives it a bad resale value.
Love the looks of the car.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Still have the Galant, with around 152,000 on the clock now. The interior is holding up fine, except the steering wheel which is showing wear.
The car has taken two pretty big blows with minimal damage, the first hitting a block of concrete in the road which smashed the oil filter off & broke an engine mount, all repaired. the second was hitting a kerb full on at about 60 mph, enough to blow the tyre clean apart. No suspension damage.
The replacement disks have been fine.
Strong, strong car.
