What would you give up your 6G for?
Every man has his price I suppose, but as a 6G owner (and proud of it) would you trade yours for a 7, 8 or even a 9G?
(if you had the money to pay the higher value)
Personally I wouldnt swap my 6G for any other Generation. I recently test drove a 7G (no 8 or 9 in australia) and almost bought it, but in the end, it wasnt anywhere near as good as a 6G, and performance was the same.
Sure the external shape was more modern but the interior lacked that certain quality. Seems the Japs had discovered these cars were being exported so they took all the nice things off it.
The 6G has class - i am keeping her. I am curious if other owners feel the same way. Here is a Poll, but voting is for 6G owners only please.
I'm looking at getting another.....
For the Gf to drive.
I really get the feeling that i have found the car I never want to trade.
1. They are so rare on the roads. I mean sure you see those loser SE galants all the time but the GSR 's are rare and the VR4's are like rocking horse Sh*t.
2. They come with all the best gear standard. Power Windows, Cruise Control, Power Mirrors, The electric controlled suspension IMHO was fabulous and I miss it every day.
3. It is like being in a club. All the GSR and some Se owners wave when they see you on the road and quite a few are up for random racing on the streets.
4. IMHO they still look very stylish even now after 13 years.
5. They go pretty quick and the only major problem I had was with my Transmission (which was covered under warranty) and a slight leak in my Water Pump. Which I noticed before i managed to melt my Head.
I have seen the 7th gen galants on the Australian roads and frankly the don't look anywhere near as nice as the 6th gen. Even the owners drool a little when we talk about our cars.
Then again I have been extreemly lucky with mine.
I bought it from a RACQ (road side assistance mechanic) who had the car serviced by mitsubishi for all its life.
I saw a 6th GSR galant at a car yard for $7500 AUD (5500 ish US i think) but it was in pretty beat up shape with the dreaded faded "galant" badge on the boot and a terribly faded wing.
Nope i love my 6th Gen GSR too much to trade it in on anything.... I would consider a VR4 if they didn't only come in sedan shape.

HH GSR Owner:
Would it be possible for you to post some bigger pictures of your car? https://www.thegalantcenter.org/styl...fault/wink.gif
