Miscellaneous

The history of this car began in 1969, when the first compact mitsubishi galant sedan rolled off the assembly line of the Japanese automobile corporation, which eventually grew to a mid-size one. Since that time, "knightly" ( this is how Galant is translated from French) the car has undergone nine changes and changed the place of assembly. Until 1994, the Mitsubishi Galant was produced in Japan, and then cars assembled in the US state of Illinois at the Diamond-Star Motors plant began to enter the American automotive market. You can read the Mitsubishi Lancer X review.

Emerged as one of the modifications of the Mitsubishi Colt model, a small classic sedan with a standard one and a half liter engine and dependent rear spring suspension became the ancestor of a large family of prestigious high-quality cars. In particular, on the basis of Mitsubishi Galant, a dynamic solid coupe Colt Galant GTO was produced, which was distinguished by a high-tech two-shaft engine for those times, as well as a rear dependent spring suspension.

It should also be noted that various modifications of the Galant have repeatedly become the “Car of the Year” in Japan due to their high consumer qualities. During its existence, more than nine million cars have been sold. At the end of 2003, the time has come for the Mitsubishi Galant 9. It is with this version of the Galant that the largest number of events of various scale and significance is associated. Firstly, for a number of countries in Southeast Asia, separate variations of the sedan were proposed.

In particular, Galant Grunder was proposed for Taiwan, which featured a unique limber, which later became simply Grunder. Galant 240Ms equipped with a 2.4-liter MIVEC engine were sent to the Philippines and China. Motorists of a number of CIS countries saw the ninth generation mitsubishi galant only in 2006. Secondly, the Mitsubishi Galant 9 appeared as a result of the globalization of the world economy. "American Japanese" was almost entirely developed in the United States.

In particular, designers from California worked on its design, the current technical characteristics of the Mitsubishi Galant "acquired" in the state of Michigan, the assembly was carried out on a conveyor in Illinois. It is possible that the automaker spent more than three years on adaptation to the operation of the car in Russian conditions, until the car appeared on the Russian market. Unfortunately, among the slightly more than three hundred changes that the "Russian" mitsubishi galant underwent, the most unpleasant was the presence of only one engine option. Moreover, both at first and in Mitsubishi Galant 2012.

Thirdly, the Mitsubishi Galant sedan that appeared on the Russian market in terms of price parameters corresponded to the top performance of D-class cars, such as Opel Vectra, Hyundai NE and Mazda 6. Moreover, in terms of overall dimensions, Galant could compete with even more venerable and expensive rivals: BMW 5-Series and Volvo S80, Nissan Teana and Toyota Camry. But the biggest change has been in his appearance.

Exterior and interior of Mitsubishi Galant 9

It should be especially noted that on the example of Galant one can trace the entire evolution of design ideas from the end of the 60s of the last century to the present day. In particular, there is not the slightest hint of the “shark” design of the mitsubishi galant viii in the new version. The angular predatory "teenager" has now acquired a solid-imposing appearance. It cannot be said that the new design won the hearts of all motorists without exception. Some liked it, others felt that the Americans had hopelessly ruined the car, abandoning the former, original exterior.

In fairness, it should be noted that most critics simply "met him by clothes", apparently forgetting about the second part of this popular expression. According to representatives of Mitsubishi, the main task was to maintain impeccable style and give the car excellent aerodynamic characteristics. And they succeeded. The sharp lines of the front end, which received a new border of the radiator grille, new headlights and fog lights, emphasize the power and dynamism of the car.

Embossed contours and side lines give the wedge-shaped silhouette of the body some resemblance to a well-built athlete. The integrity of the new look is completed by the expressive aft design with new lights. The overall dimensions of the novelty are (length x width x height): 4865 x 1840 x 1485 millimeters. Wheelbase - 2750 millimeters, ground clearance (ground clearance) - 165 millimeters. The useful volume of the luggage compartment with the rear sofa backs folded down is 480 liters.

Regarding the interior of the mitsubishi galant 2012, it can be noted that many of those who criticize its appearance would change their tone if they got inside the car. As noted by many experts in the automotive market, Galant has the most spacious interior among its "classmates". In addition, the developers took into account that the tastes and needs of the client have been growing over time, and offered completely new, better finishing materials and excellent equipment. Only the lack of longitudinal adjustment of the steering column speaks of American origin.

Everything else is at the European level. Excellent lateral support for the front seats, electric driver's seat (eight positions), orange instrument lighting ... The audio and cruise control buttons have moved to the outside of the steering wheel. The instrument panel is distinguished by acceptable information content, which seems incredible with a large number of different options. Among the equipment, one can note climate control and a Rockford Acoustic premium audio system, equipped with a six-CD changer and a 360 W electronic amplifier with nine speakers. In a word, there is everything that a car of this class needs.

Specifications MITSUBISHI GALANT 9

As noted above, the technical characteristics of the new mitsubishi galant are somewhat embarrassing for the Russian market, the technical characteristics of which were limited to one power unit, namely the absence of alternative engines. Nevertheless, it can be noted - one, but which one. Probably the most pleasant circumstance is its "omnivorousness", which allows the use of gasoline, starting from AI-92. The 2.4-liter SOHS 4G69 four-cylinder engine has an acceptable power (158 horsepower) and can accelerate to 200 km / h. The engine is equipped with an automatic transmission with artificial intelligence, which allows it to select the optimal gears and adapt to the owner's driving style.

Technical characteristics are successful for the Mitsubishi Galant in terms of the driver and passenger safety system. In particular, in the production of the body, the proprietary Realised Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) technology was used, which provides for a safety cage and deformation zones. This and other airbags and curtain airbags, as well as other options, were adequately rated by the NHTSA, which put up 5 points for passive safety. In Russia, two configurations of various equipment are presented: Intense and Instyle.

Unfortunately for Mitsubishi Galant fans, 2012 was the end of the Galant era. It's time for Outlander and Lancer.

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 accessible representative of this segment. In 2004, the ninth generation Galant debuted. In 2008, a restyled version was released, and in 2012, Galant production 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.

The car is still maintained, and you need to take care of it, like any other technique. I have a Galant with a two-liter engine, it consumes a maximum of 12 liters / 100 km.

Mikhail, Krasnodar Territory. I have been using Galant for 15 years, and I am not going to sell it yet. I'm already used to the car, I drive with comfort and do not complain about the reliability of this Japanese miracle. I studied it to the holes, for this I have my own garage. I buy only used spare parts, new parts are useless - they are now expensive and you will not find them. Of course, Galant breaks down, and quite often. Any technique will ever fail, even Japanese ones. But in general, I am satisfied with the car, Galant is cheap for me, the main costs are only for gasoline. By the way, a 2-liter engine with a gun consumes 11-12 liters.

With 2.4 engine

Ekaterina, Tambov. I have a Mitsubishi Galant with a 2.4 liter petrol engine. Good solid aspirated, time-tested. For 170 thousand runs, this 150-horsepower has never failed, but the reliability of the suspension leaves much to be desired. In the city I fit in 12 liters / 100 km. The car consumes the 95th gasoline. Galant is a worthy representative of its class. It's a shame it was discontinued. I would buy the next generation, but for now I drive an old man.
Nikolay, Moscow. I have a 2000 Galant with a 2.4 engine and an automatic. Powerful and strong car, I drive it for 14-15 hours a day. The sedan has traveled 130 thousand km without any serious incidents, and thus proved its reliability. In the urban cycle, I fit into 11-12 liters.
Yuri, Taganrog. The car is quite satisfied, by the way, I have been looking for an inexpensive business class sedan for a long time.

Alexander, Peter. Mitsubishi Galant is a standing car, it still looks relevant. With its 2.4-liter engine, you can ignite in full, especially at traffic lights. In general, a kind of city lighter for every day. Consumes from 10 to 13 liters, I fill AI-95.
Vasily, Orenburg. Comfortable and, most importantly, high-quality car. Galant was advised to me by friends, one friend by the way was exactly the same. The car is equipped with a 2.4-liter engine.

Margarita, Yekaterinoslavl. The wheelbarrow is what you need, it is serviced in the garage, and even then only on the little things. No major breakdowns, I drive and do not complain - I sat down and drove what is called. Galant is well managed, and also well adapted to our broken roads. A 2.4-liter engine consumes 10-13 liters, depending on the nature of the ride.

With 2.5 engine

Maxim, Pyatigorsk. I have had a Mitsubishi Galant since 2004. I service the car in a timely manner, I never miss the passage of MOT, I buy only original spare parts - this is my recipe for the survivability of my car. The wheelbarrow has never broken, despite the different operating conditions. I have a 2.5 liter version with automatic transmission. Peppy acceleration and excellent handling. The suspension is moderately energy-intensive, although breakdowns sometimes occur - after all, the chassis is set up rigidly to eliminate rolls 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 to rev, which is very good. Fuel consumption in the city is 12 liters, on the highway I fit in 8-10 liters.
Nina, Perm region. 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 stay in city traffic, even with a margin. And besides, the engine is very economical and reliable, in the city the consumption reaches 12 liters.
Mikhail, Kazan. My Galant is equipped with top-end equipment. The 2.5-liter engine gives the sedan a huge overclocking 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 first-class smoothness of the Mitsubishi Galant. All the same, it is not in vain that the car belongs to the business class, on a par 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 with the pedal constantly pressed to the floor, it reaches 13 liters.

Generation 9

With 2.4 engine

Dmitry, Novosibirsk. Galant is surprisingly well adapted to cold conditions, and is not afraid of bad roads. The engine starts with half a turn, and runs properly without any worries. A 2.4-liter gasoline engine consumes 14-15 liters per 100 km. I was pleased that such a luxurious business sedan "loves" the 92nd gasoline.
Mikhail, Moscow. Great car, ideal for daily commuting and long journeys. In the cabin, there is a reserve of space - both in front and behind. 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, I fill in 15 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers.
Alexey, Saratov. Mitsubishi Galant - my first business sedan, I bought it on the secondary market. Before him, I drove a GAZ-3110, after which I even more wanted a real premium car, 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 the GAZ-31105. I am a district official, I needed an inexpensive and comfortable car with a personal driver. From a passenger's point of view, I like the car. It 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 with a capacity of 158 horses. In the city we fit into 14 liters per hundred, it is possible to fill with 92-m gasoline. I still drive Galante, though I had to change three drivers already. The car is not new, but still reliable. Serviced regularly at the dealership.
Dmitry, Irkutsk. Satisfied with the machine, the perfect car for family and work needs. I am a private entrepreneur, I was looking for an inexpensive business class sedan. In the mid-2000s, the Galant was one of the cheapest cars in its class. I read reviews about him - everyone writes that they are reliable and perfectly adapted to Russian conditions. I was convinced of this in practice, after 20 thousand run. My Galant is equipped with a 2.4-liter engine and automatic transmission. Consumption in the city at the level of 14-15 liters, I fill with 92nd gasoline.
Oleg, Minsk. I have a 2011 Galant, with a powerful 2.4-liter aspirated. Perhaps this is the best representative of its class. The machine is called without show-off, looks strict and presentable. In addition, there is nothing to catch the eye in the cabin either - I have the basic version, which does not even have a central display. But for me, handling and dynamics are more important, and Galant has a complete order with this. Acceleration to hundreds in 11 seconds, the 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 satisfied. Galant is comfortable and able to drive fast, since the 2.4-liter engine is capable of much. Consumes up to 15 liters.
Leonid, Bryansk. In 2017, my Galant turns 10 years old, during which time the car has shown itself on the good side. Fast and reliable, with a full five-seat interior 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, reliable level. Consumption of 14 liters, I fill in the 92nd gasoline.
Alexey, Dnepropetrovsk. I have a Galant from 2010, the 2.4 liter version with automatic. I praise the car for decent dynamics for a business class, impenetrable suspension, minimal roll in corners, a functional interior and good handling. Consumption in the city is 14 liters.

The current Mitsubishi Galant - a car not so much Japanese as American - is absolutely not needed in Europe. In Europe, no one is waiting for Galant, but we (in the automotive sense), although not America, but, moreover, not Europe. Remembering the still beloved previous generations of Mitsubishi Galant, which we drove, we drive, and we will drive for a long time, everyone asked: “When?”. Russia is an important market for Mitsubishi, and our opinion cannot be ignored. Here we got what we wanted.

It is unlikely that the assessment of the design of the 9th generation Mitsubishi Galant will be news: it (especially in the front part) is strange, incomprehensible, and even simply ugly for some. A massive hump in the middle of the hood, an inexpressive grille, but most importantly - headlights! The headlights (where are you - the lovely squinted stripes of Mitsubishi Galant light elements of previous generations?) Have replaced some kind of quadrangles from the Volga.

One of the leaders of the distributor Mitsubishi, noted that while "Galant" is sold a little worse than expected. Obviously, in the first months of Russian sales, most of those who were waiting for the Mitsubishi Galant (and many were waiting for it) simply did not have time to try the car on the go - which means they only appreciated the appearance. And they didn't like the looks. Design Mitsubishi Galant 9th generation (2004) has absolutely nothing to do with the style of the previous Mitsubishi Galant.

But they are greeted by clothes, but they see off ... On the road, the opinion about the car becomes much better.
Firstly, behind the controversial appearance of the car lies a huge interior.
Secondly, all controls in the Mitsubishi Galant are clear and in place; with an abundance of options, you do not feel that you have been overwhelmed with information. There are slightly more buttons in the Mitsubishi Galant than in the Lancer, despite the much more modest equipment of the latter. Only not too good: an excessively large steering wheel and radio buttons that do not fit into the center console. Here again, the designers were not up to par.
Thirdly, the car pleased with convenient details. The main thing is: a driver's seat with an electric drive and a wide range of adjustments, a clear parking sensors and a wide armrest with a roomy box.
Fourth, and most importantly: Mitsubishi Galant is very good on the go. The car handles just fine, although the steering wheel itself is not the most comfortable in girth. The engine and “box” work almost perfectly, although many will want more playfulness from such a machine. Moderately stiff suspension, providing decent comfort, is good both in a straight line and in corners. Mitsubishi bites into the road, maintaining good stability in any reasonable trajectory.

But I don’t want to drive a Mitsubishi Galant recklessly - it’s not easy to “ignite” it. The adaptive “automatic” adapts to the driver, but does not give him extra freedom.

America saw the new Mitsubishi Galant in April 2003, but we saw it only 3 years later. Residents of the US and Canada can choose a 3.8-liter 230-horsepower V6, but we only have a 2.4-liter 158-horsepower unit. The new Mitsubishi Galant was almost completely developed in the States and for the States: design - in California, "technology" - in Michigan, assembly - in Illinois. It's not hard to guess which country's Mitsubishi was seen sitting in the driver's and passenger seats of the Galant.

Bottom line: the car could be better. Under the hood could be a 3.8-liter engine and a manual transmission, novice drivers would be happy with the ESP system. And the Japanese could entrust the design to their own specialists. But how long would it take to prepare such a Mitsubishi Galant, and will we need it like this?

Prices for Mitsubishi Galant 9th generation in 2007 in the Russian market start from 757 thousand rubles.

The ninth generation of the Mitsubishi Galant began its history in the distant autumn of 2003, when mass production of the car began. The car was built on the PS platform, which was developed by the North American division of Mitsubishi and was intended for mid-size and front-wheel drive cars. In addition to the Galant model, such models as the Endeavor crossover and the Eclipse sports compact were produced on the same platform. All three models were part of the so-called "Project America", the purpose of which was the mass production of Mitsubishi cars for the United States market. It was the latter fact that became the key in the issue of a sharp change in the design of the Galant compared to the previous generation of the car, which many people fell in love with sports uniforms. In Russia, the start of sales of the ninth generation Galant began in 2006, ended in 2010. The model finally left the world market in 2012.

In 2008, Galant IX began to be produced in a restyled version, which received updates in appearance, such as: front bumper, fog lights, grille, headlights, taillights. In addition, the interior of the updated model now had a silver trim instead of "wood effect" and the dashboard was redesigned. On the technical side, the changes were minimal - these were the front brakes, the exhaust system began to have strictly 2 lambdas, and there were two cooling fans. All of the above changes relate primarily to cars that were officially sold on the territory of the CIS countries. Cars in the North American market are slightly different from ours, for example, the size of the side mirrors, the shape of the front fenders, ground clearance, etc.

Mitsubishi Galant IX engines.

On the territory of the Russian Federation, the ninth generation Galant model was sold only with a naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with a volume of 2.4 liters. (model 4G69), which had a maximum power of 158 (160) hp. at 5500 rpm and max. torque 213Nm at 4000 rpm. The 4G69 motor is nothing more than an updated old man 4G64, which has been produced since 1983. The 4G69 is the last motor to be part of the large family of Sirius motors. Compared to the 4G64, the height of the cylinder block has been reduced by 6mm in the new engine. up to 284mm., put lighter pistons, connecting rods and crankshaft - 278g, 530g. and 14.9kg. respectively., made the diameter of the cylinders larger - 87mm., and also increased the diameters of the intake and exhaust valves to 34.0 and 30.5mm. respectively. A completely new cylinder head was introduced, which had a system for changing the valve timing and valve lift height MIVEC. As a timing drive, a toothed belt is used, the recommended replacement interval of which is 90 thousand km, or 5 years of operation. There are no hydraulic lifters on the 4G69 engine, which is why every 45 thousand km. valve clearances need to be adjusted.

For almost 15 years of operation of cars with this engine, and it was installed not only on Mitsubishi car models, but also on large-circulation Chinese cars such as BYD S6, JMC Vigor Pickup 4x4 and Great Wall Haval H5, we can safely say that the mega engine - reliable and not whimsical, if you comply with the deadlines and regularly perform routine maintenance of the power plant. The resource of the 4G69 engine is 400-500 thousand km. Only after runs of 200-250 thousand km. ask for replacement or repair of some attachments - a generator, a starter, as well as a lambda and a catalyst. There are problems with the oil pressure sensor, sometimes you have to change the gasket set at the candle wells due to the appearance of oil there. There are also rare cases of an increase in the oil appetite of the motor, as a rule, the cause of this is hardened valve stem seals, which are asked to be replaced.

Outside the Russian Federation, Galant was also produced with a naturally aspirated V6 engine of 3.8 liters. ( 6G75) with a maximum power of 233 (since 2008 261) hp. at 5250 (6000) rpm and max. cool torque 250 (329) Nm at 4000 (2700) rpm. This power plant is part of the Cyclone V6 engine family. This engine is a descendant of the 6G74 model with a volume of 3.5 liters. - cast iron cylinder block, piston stroke 90mm, cylinder diameter 95mm, compression ratio 9.8. Forged connecting rods. The cylinder head has a single shaft design with 24 valves. In addition, a system for changing the valve timing and valve lift height MIVEC has been installed. As a drive, as well as on a 2.4l engine. a belt is used, the replacement interval of which is the same - 90 thousand km. The 6G75 engine has shown itself to be a fairly reliable unit, its resource is from 400 thousand km. run. Of the rare, but well-aimed problems, the following can be voiced: There were cases when the screws for fastening the dampers of the variable geometry intake manifold system were arbitrarily unscrewed and, as a result, all these screws getting into the cylinders led the owners to capital ... Similar cases were on 6G74 (DOHC) engines ) and seems to be inherited.

Transmission Mitsubishi Galant IX.

Before restyling, both engines were paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission model F4A4B in the 4L1Z modification. Moreover, with the 6G75 engine, the driver had the opportunity to manually shift gears. Starting with restyling, the V6 version of the car began to be produced with an automatic transmission in 5 steps. The procedure recommended by the owners for a partial oil change in an automatic transmission is a mileage of 50-60 thousand km. The resource for both automatic transmissions with proper maintenance is 250-350 thousand km.

Suspension and steering Mitsubishi Galant IX.

Suspension - MacPherson front, multi-link rear. Very soft and reliable. Apart from the suspension struts, which last up to 120 thousand km, the rest of the parts begin to ask for repairs on runs over 150-200 thousand km. The owners of the ninth generation Mitsubishi Galant do not remember about the rail until runs of 250-300 thousand km. But the power steering pump may buzz a little earlier - on a run of 200-250 thousand km.

Conclusion.

Mitsubishi Galant of the ninth and so far the latest generation is certainly an interesting car - with a rather controversial appearance, the sedan boasts a fairly large interior space in its class, a very comfortable suspension and resourceful engines with good performance. Of course, there are ailments typical for age-related cars, but all of them can be solved quite budgetarily.

Peace and health to you. The review is not the first, so you can judge strictly. The driving experience is 20 years, there are professional categories and extensive experience in driving various brands of cars of different classes. Well, I'll try my best. I drove all sorts of cars, but I like big ones, so at any financial opportunity I look towards business class cars and believe me, not because of show-offs. I sold it means Mazda 5, before her sonata, and I realized that I was not a Mazda driver, although I also got a good Mazda, do not be offended by Mazda owners. In terms of budget and comfort, I was more drawn to the sonata and even considered them a lot, but I couldn’t find a live one. About 400 thousand and the task is to meet such requests. So the range is small -Camry, Teana, Epic, Galant, chord and sonata. Epic is small, as he wrote, I didn’t find a sonata, for the Camry, an old woman with a rolled mileage, excuse me half a lemon, as people say, the toad crushed, the two-liter teana did not satisfy, but 3.5 eats and tax, and the squeezed ones came across, but good 2.3 liter ones at a price already pulled up to the kamryushki, in short, expensive, not for my money. Of course, the chord is handsome, but the clearance is low, and not cheap. I don’t fit into any framework and prospects at all. I rolled my lip into a business class, and still I don’t want Solaris and Cruz (I’m waiting, I’m looking, I endure). And somehow I looked at Galant by chance, I read reviews (there are few of them, but truthful ) - thanks by the way for them, they helped a lot. And apparently fate quickly found Galant 9 in full minced meat, at my request and money. . So, an American, a handsome man, a sunroof, leather, a cruise, xenon in all places, the 2.4 engine is the same as the Outlander, a bunch of pillows, a 4-speed automatic, a minimum of electronics, a pleasant interior, spacious and comfortable for all passengers. Under the hood, everything is simple, visible and convenient, I can even change a light bulb anywhere without finishing a cigarette. The seller didn’t lie, he didn’t eat the oil. By the way, I already had a Mitsubishi Lancer in 2005, I remember it for the oil and a very comfortable fit for the driver. underestimated. I sat down, drove off and it was pleasant, I immediately feel the car is heavy, soft, but unfortunately clumsy and, to put it mildly, clumsy, there is not enough fifth gear on the highway and a couple of electronic assistants such as anti-skid or something like that. It eats gasoline 92-10 on the highway approximately, about 12-13 in the city, and of course how to heat and with what to turn it on. Well, I should please you, those who want such a car, these are all special shortcomings and I am so glad about this, because the stuffing, dynamics and comfort are not much inferior to classmates of this year at incredible prices, and the price pleases, because everything depends on it .Well, about the pros, the combination of a box-engine is magnificent, after a Mazda I get high. When overtaking, he obeys, when changing lanes in the city he doesn’t get stupid. He won’t press you into a chair, but you won’t get lost either. Shumka 4 plus, the arches would be quieter and there would be a five. The trunk is spacious, the interior is solid (of course it doesn’t look like that in a rag), everything is fine, everything is there. comfortable on the highway. The engine is not heard much, I would say moderately. The steering wheel is comfortable and turns well. - for a long time I didn’t drive over bumps and potholes with such joy, I didn’t hook it even once, in short, for our roads, that’s it. Music ROCKFORD, what can I say - having an additional musical education, good hearing and memory - this is the best sound I've heard in my whole life in cars. But the radio, by the way, doesn't catch very well, but it's easy to fix it with a good antenna, if you need it of course. The doors are heavy - they close nicely, you don’t notice speed on the highway, it’s better to have a radar detector. Wheels 215/60/16. Athermal windshield. Auto-corrector headlights. 8 airbags. The conclusion is that a good car for good money, at least for me. I’ll ride. Thank you for your attention. I’ll add a photo if I’m not too lazy. Critics, do not provoke negative compliments. I will be happy to answer questions for decent people ... Good luck on the road ...
