#91 of 2438 i must sayt.... by justin Jun 19, 2000 (1:37 pm)
that Goodyear Eagles do stink. My Jetta has them, only has just over 15k, and the dealer is replacing them for free today. There was a bad batch of Goodyear Eagles produced in early 99 I guess (bought my car in 4/99, it was made in 3/99 in Mexico). They are putting the same brand and type of tires on, but have promised me that they won't be bald within 15k miles.....
#92 of 2438 Tires and tire noise? by epikgtz Jun 19, 2000 (2:58 pm)
I have a '00 GTZ and haven't noticed any tire noise at all. In fact as someone else said above, this is the quietest car I have ever owned. I have heard lots of people complaining (not just Mitsu people) about problems with the Goodyear tires. My question is: Are the Goodyear tires the same on the GTZ as they are on the others? And do any other GTZ owners have a problem with the tires on their car?
#93 of 2438 Sorry, Justin... by isellhondas Jun 19, 2000 (6:13 pm)
You are whistling in the dark! VW products have dismal reliability at best. Their record speaks for itself. But, hey, you're happy and that's what counts!
#94 of 2438 VW by justin Jun 19, 2000 (6:59 pm)
what car are you comparing the VW to? The Galant? I think this forum shows just how reliable the Galant is. Read the Accord forums. Read the Camry forums. Read the Benz forums. See a pattern? Yes, EVERYONE complains about their cars. There is no perfect car. Recalls and TSB's on all of them. Now, I like the Galant. Much better than any of the other Japanese brands. It might not be as reliable, but at least it has a little personality. The Maxima does too I guess, but for thousands more. And I will never get another Nissan again......they are so awful to their customers. But I am LOVING that Mitsu financing...
#95 of 2438 Well... by vocus Jun 19, 2000 (7:02 pm)
I like the Galants too, but my credit isn't good enough to qualify for the financing. I would like the GTZ too, but hear it takes premium gas. That's wayyyy too expensive now. Plus, I commute to DC from Balto. everyday, so gas would kill me. On another note, I just bought a used 1993 Bonneville SSE with 67K for $7000 for my mother and I love it! I find myself wanting to trade in my 1999 Protege for an older Bonneville. Stupid I know, but it's a thought.

Everyone who has ever participated in any autosports event, knows that the car should be considered TOTALED the very moment it hits the race track. Most of the mass-production cars are not built for competition and can not survive after being raced. It even applies to the limited production vehicles such as Mitsubsishi Lancer EVO, Subaru WRX, Subaru 22B, Lancia EVO and etc. Rebuilding the engine is not that uncommon if the vehicle is being raced, it can be considered a "regular maintenance" procedure if you race it regularly. I've seen Lancer engines that threw the rod, after revving at 8K RPM.    Needless to say, knowing all that I don't abuse the vehicle too much. Racing on public roads is stupid and illegal. The only bonus you can get is a ticket or an accident, anyway. Racing a car with an automatic gearbox is stupid and no fun. I don't race my Galant. Believe me, If I ever did it, the poor thing wouldn't be able to survive these 15K miles.    As for the Goodyer tires - we'll see if they will replace them under warranty or not. Usually those Galant owners who don't complain about tires have a 4 cyl. Galant with 15" wheels and Bridgestone tires.
#97 of 2438 Warranty, low APR, resale value by bigb8 Jun 20, 2000 (11:33 pm)
Ejohanss, I use GEICO for my insurance. Saved about 25% on a yearly basis. They have a 100,000 mile unlimited time extended warranty with a $250 deductible that I purchased for $72 per year. If I place 15k mls a yr on the vehicle it will last about 6 1/2 yrs. That equals out to about $432. Much cheaper than a factory warranty. I live in Dallas as well. You might want to check with them. As far as resale value is concerned, it is true that Mitsi doesn't have a high resale value. But when you get 1.9% financing you're paying mostly principal. Keep it a couple of years and you should be o.k. Just a few things to consider... Brian
#98 of 2438 Geico Warranty by vac23 Jun 21, 2000 (1:22 am)
If you leave Geico for another insurance company, wouldn't you lose your warranty coverage or will it apply whether or not you are with Geico? 6 1/2 years is quite a long time to stay with one company without shopping around. I guess my point is if you plan on staying with Geico that long then you should consider the warranty they offer otherwise you're probably better off looking for the warranty somewhere else. it's usually cheaper if the warranty is purchased when the car is new.
#99 of 2438 Geico? by ultratech Jun 21, 2000 (3:56 am)
Geico is like so expensive, so even with the warranty deal you still end up paying more... so i would say buy extended warranty elsewhere, costs like $600-700 for a 7 year 100,000 miles . I did some insurance comparison, and it is like 500 dlls cheaper to buy with 21th century than Geico
#100 of 2438 Um, NO! by vocus Jun 21, 2000 (4:41 pm)
You can get a brand new Galant ES 4-cylinder for close to that price with all the specials they've been having lately. Forget it.
