Gives as Good as it Gets
I soon realized after I bought my car that the previous owner had not done any maintainance. After I did the appropriate servicing (timely synthetic oil changes and some Slick 50, a belt replacement and tightening a transmission service or two it ran great. I only wish I had the 15' wheel option for better handling. I installed a Ractive STB which helped the understeer as well as a K&N Hi Flow Air Filter to improve breathing. Other than that, she gives as good as she gets. Which is very, very good. I plan to keep her for a loong time.
Good car for price
I have had this car for 5 years and have been very happy with it. I have been looking at new cars for about 12 months... and it is just so hard to convince myself to have a car payment when my Galant just keeps going and going. I haven't had any major troubles with it. The transmission has always felt funny - like it was going to go - but never has. It is a good car and it has surprisingly quick acceleration on the highways (for a 97, 2.4L sedan).
Up to 185,000 before the final drive
This was my wife's first car, purchased in 2000 as a used car. It held up through Pittsburgh winters, though often with some sliding, and a parkway accident. It's now at 185,000 miles and was an excellent commuter car up until the last round of breaks and transmission repair needs. Very, very stylish and quality acceleration.
Good Basic Car
I own a '97 Galant DE and as compared to a '98 Accord I leased, it is an excellent and much less expensive replacement. It's lighter, and less refined than the Honda particularly in how it feels on the road and the interior design, but I have found it to be a bit quieter, and a better value when considering an Accord might cost 2X.
Better than ever
This car is under rated. Better than my last car which was a Camry. The Galant is really dependable and I love it.
