My V6 Galant

[peterbredde]

I love this car - it's my baby:

Nice, pretty rare as well.

My dad had a Galant 2.0 4WS 4WD on a G plate. It was a lovely car.

Me like! What are the specs on one of these?

[peterbredde]

Hey guys. Glad you like it. It's a 2.5 V6 from which I suppose you'd expect to get tons of power but I think it only gives between 170 and 180 bhp. It has plenty of torque though and pulls very well throughout the range. The thing I like best is that you can drive it all day (fairly quickly) whilst barely hearing the engine. Then, when you cane it, it makes an awesome growl. These engines are very very sweet.

Bought it on Ebay 5 years ago when it was exactly 3 years old with 10k miles for exactly £7k, couldn't believe my luck. It's now showing 69k miles. Never missed a beat. Electrics are extremely reliable, but then very simple. Spec only goes as far as climate and electric windows and mirrors really.

As mint as the car is, I'm afraid it's worth next to nothing now. Good news if you're in the market for one. Really good ones are hard to find, but they are out there.

I like that, good to see it left standard and not messed about with

[andyroo]

It looks brand new!

[y2blade]

very nice

I looked at the estate version a while back before getting my T5

[BriC175]

Is it 4wd?

180BHP isn't too bad... 72BHP per litre isn't too shabby for a N/A engine. I would guess it's fairly torquey?

[peterbredde]

These are front wheel drive. The 4wd versions (called VR4) share the same engine but loaded with twin turbos. They pump out around 270bhp. I've always fancied one - I'm sure I will one day as a weekend ride.

I have a odd thing for these cars, always wanted one, especially the estate.

Funnyily enough I have another odd thing for estate cars.

Nice looking motor. Always fancied an estate with those alloys, think they suit it well.

[russy01]

Love these motors, look angry

[peterbredde]

Just thought I'd drop some more in:

[Swoxy]

Wow. I really like the Sport models in silver, especially from the front.

[Milliways]

Very nice mate! I love these cars .. it looks brand spanking new!

[chevy-stu]

Very nice.. and looks immaculate.

(if you're happy with the power of the V6, you should try the VR4......)

[seismic22]

Always thought these were one of the best looking cars on the road. That front end is so aggressive, looks like a proper mans car.

[BenMk3]

That leather looks mint, nice

[spaceship]

Nice car, really like that.

Always wanted a VR4.
