Doug DeMuro's review of the 1991 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 is decidedly positive (80/100), praising its innovative cabin features like the color-changing dashboard lights and electronic boost gauge, along with genuinely clever livability touches such as hidden cup holders and belt-buckle cubby holes in the rear seats. The car's impressive performance credentials—a turbocharged 4G63 engine with all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, and four-wheel manual transmission derived from Mitsubishi's Group A rally program—combine with premium design details like suede door panels and body-colored wheels to create a rare and nostalgic package. However, potential buyers should be aware that these heavily modified cars are notoriously unreliable and many have not survived to today, with dwindling parts availability and an interior that hasn't aged gracefully since the late 1980s. The Galant VR-4 is for enthusiasts and collectors who value its historical significance and childhood nostalgia over practical reliability and modern conveniences.
