Great car

It's a great car, comfortable and quite fast for a mid-category family car, excellent for weekend trips and everyday use too. The interior could be more pretty, especially the color, but the interior is very well designed and practical. Surprisingly good sound system as it comes from the factory.

Check timming belt

I bought a galant in 1999 the 5spd w/sunroof. I wanted a family car with a soorty look so I was attracted to the Galant. It ran well causing little problems alternator, battery, brake pads, rotors, and lights. It had 124k on it when I got it. I heard a squealing sound one day and had the belts changed so I thought but they did not change the timming belt and by it being a 5spd it jumped timming and it was the end. I had just paid it off too.

All I have to say about this car that it's the perfect combination of every use for you money. It is fast enough, comfortable enough, not too expensive to take care of, fun enough and still not too out of fashion.

With the 5 speed manual the car is very responsive. Can be a little uncomfortable on long hauls. For whatever reason we get water in the trunk when it rains and we are driving, not when it is just sitting, the seal is in good shape and I made adjustments to the lid but to no avail. The gas pedal can be uncomfortable, cruise control really helps in that aspect, we had one installed. The car performs better with higher octane gas, and in turn it gets better fuel mileage.

Since the purchase of my 1996 Mitsubishi Galant, I have had absolutely no major problems with it. I make sure it has its regular check- ups, and it has been good to me. My husband loves the power behind this vehicle. Looks are definitely deceiving! It's quiet, easy to maintain, and 'sporty'. I have been searching for a 'family' car, but haven't found one that can match my Galant. I would have to go greatly out of my price range to get something in comparison.
