I have had this car for almost 8 1/2 years and this is easily the most reliable car I have ever owned. Just keep up with regular maintenance and it runs like a dream.

right after I bought the car I had transmission troubles, wheel bearings gone, cracked crank case - all of which was replaced under warranty. But now my AC is gone. The Transmission is again slipping/hesitating and the car 'feels' like it has other things planned for me. I just wish I had bought the Used Altima I was comparing it against.

Good handling, but the automatic transmission and motor are not as reliable as a Toyota, Honda or Nissan. If I sell it I will definitely buy one of this other japanese cars.
Galant ES nightmare

This car was what I was looking for. Business suit grey and 60k miles when I bought it. About 2 months after owning it, someone hit me head on about 20mph (each of us doing around 10mph) The airbags never deployed. After the 'fenderbender' the car quite literally began to fall apart! The clock/radio quit working (half the lights worked, but they did not function properly). The engine light would come on and smoke at stop lights. Transmission started to slip about 2x per month. The exhaust broke w/NO warning. The power window switch bundle on drivers door caught fire when I used the auto-down feature. ---Very upset about the lacking quality.
dissapointed

I was deciding between this model and the Nissan Altima and, even though I had a Nissan Sentra (which had been a perfect car -operationally) I read the reviews (some of them here) and bought the Galant. To my disappointment it was a lemon and Goldstien service sucked! The transmission was replaced along with two wheel bearing and all four brakes. Now the AC is gone and the new transmission is slipping and it's only got 53,000.00 miles on it give me a brake!
