| ok guys i am thinking of buying a new toy. Its a mitsibushi galant VR4 2002 2.5 V6 twin turbo, auto with F1 paddle shift system. 4 wheel drive Full Recaro sports package on 19inch BBS alloys. Apparently it goes like shit off a shovel and 0 -60 in 4.6 secs What do you guys think / opinions |

| just keep in mind that mitsibushi spare parts are expensive !!! |

| It's not a beemer :) But if you want to be a boy racer... I guess it's ok. Sorry, do I sound like I know anything about cars? (I don't) :) :) Arnie - you forgot the main question the ladies will ask : "what colour is it"? :) Sounds fun though. |

| Its metalic Red Shaf, very similar to my fav lipstick colour :lol: :lol: :lol: Palkid the cost of spares has no relevance to me. |

Wiat, you actually found this car in Dubai? Awesome, but where would you get parts? The dealer will have to ship parts from Japan, which can take a while. |

| I have a hunch this is a toy for the UK, not here. The paddle shift is OEM? |
| arniegang |
| it is a UK car one of only 200 imported by the Rallyart division of Mitsibushi |

| I’m shocked, K, you pretend to be all about safety and then encouraging a power ricer in red, the highest rated colour for car accidents :shock: Oh but then again anyone who is pretending to care about the environment whilst driving an SUV I should have known. :roll: Hehehehehehe. All in love :) Arnie congrats on the ride, is this your midlife crisis car? Paddle shifters are kewl. |

| If people in Dubai didn't drive like complete assholes I wouldn't have to buy an SUV, but they do... I'd like to survive my stay in this country, thanks :) Since Lexus don't sell their hybrid SUV's here, I decided to go with one of the cars on my Green Car list - which was carefully researched. I put my money where my mouth was and bought a car off my list, so I have no guilt. |
| fayz |
| yes i know, plus any car with a colour like Tiger Mica is just something worth having, although you should have got the FX45 and lent it to me :lol: |

| I'd rather stick needles in my eyes than buy/own a mitsubishi (excluding the 4x4 off-roaders). How much would you be paying for this heap of junk? |
| XRW-147 |
| Once upon a time I thought you knew something about cars Zoots... |
| the_zooter |
I still do!! Come on though - all the grief I've had about buying a diesel - then Arnie wants to go any buy a heap of junk like that! He'll be the envy of every spotty faced 17 year old in Britain, but thats about all! |
| XRW-147 |
If thats all the credit you can give to what has 'evolved' to be nothing short of an icon then obviously you don't. |
