What's the difference?

[andyleaves]

OK it's got me...
Whats the difference between my v6-24
'98 Full electric leather int, cruise control, auto

and the sport model other then the front bumper?

Do I have the worse model V6 Galant?

[elnevio]

The Sport didn't have cruise control or electric heated seats, IIRC!

[HMG1K]

As Nev says - cruise was a optional extra on the Sport / Equipe / Elegance, no electric seats either.

Others include:

* Sunroof was only on the early 'twin bumper lamp' Sport models (not to be confused with VR4 twin bumper lamps

* Leather standard on the Elegance - option on Sport

* Leather interior on the early V6s was more 'armchair / sofa-like' than the harder 'Sport' leather.

* Sport / Equipe / Elegance got 17" 'Sport' alloys instead of the standard 15"

All of the above IIRC! Must me others I've missed.

This is a bit confusing
I got one 2.5v6, W reg, 2000 prod year, first reg in 05/00, road tax 185 12 months
second 2.5v6, Y reg, 2000 prod year, first reg in 04/02, road tax 215 12 months

strange

both sport version

[mesobitchy]

Y reg and newer fall into the new bracket i think!

[elnevio]

Correct! New tax bands applied to vehicles from 1 March 2001 onwards (i.e. Y-reg onwards).

[adaxo]

looks like date of first reg matter, but why is Y reg ??? dont know (should be 02/52 i think)
