Dubai Forums Dubai Tech Discussions Dubai Auto

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




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?

it is a UK car one of only 200 imported by the Rallyart division of Mitsibushi

Thought as such so yalla, go for it!

If it is red, go for it

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

Oh but then again anyone who is pretending to care about the environment whilst driving an SUV I should have known. 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.

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

Oi K

get your greenie stuff outa my thread will ya, gaz guzzlers rule

i had to ask the kids mate, they just rolled their eyes

so i think you maybe right " midlife crisis"

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?

Once upon a time I thought you knew something about cars Zoots...

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!

If thats all the credit you can give to what has 'evolved' to be nothing short of an icon then obviously you don't.
