Took my moms car for the weekend due to the RX needing a new clutch. She does not use it so I took the torque monster over. FWD and a mitsu V-6 should never be mixed again. If you hit the gas too hard I will warn you to make sure you are all the way in the seat and not leaning forward. The thing is a rocket ship. I had to have the seat back VERY far so my head was not touching the roof and I am only 5'11. Other than that it reminded me of the American car philosophy......Go VERY fast in a straight line. The car floored will give you more torque steer than you ever though possible and trying to turn when going to fast, well lets just say the car DOES not like that at all. I am very impressed and I have to say it is a sleeper for being a 4 door.

we had a galant a few years ago, it was a good car.

Only had the 4 banger in it. Never had to make a trip to the dealer in the 4 years we owned it.



On torque steer- I had a rental Infinity a few years ago, that thing would throw you into the next lane if you were not carefull
