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.

This car is under rated. Better than my last car which was a Camry. The Galant is really dependable and I love it.

I got my 1997 Mitsubishi Galant cheap off of Ebay with 173,000 miles on it. I replaced several OEM parts and upgraded the wheels/tires. This car gets good gas mileage and allows me to keep wear/tear off the two family cars. Its 2.4L engine is torquey. I will upgrade the brakes / suspension next, then add a new air intake.

The only problem that we have had is that you need to have the balance shaft looked at over 100,000 miles mark. Our the shaft broke at 160,000 and caused some damage. Other than that, the car has been really sporty and handles like a dream.

I purchased my Galant about two year´s ago with 39K miles from a reputable dealership. Transmission problems became evident immediately. It would slip between first and second routinely and this would sometimes make for very hard shifting and an unpleasant ride. The dealership agreed that this was a problem and replaced the transmission. Although the problem subsided initially it never really went away entirely! The car now has 65,000 miles and occasionally I´ll experience a hard shift in the low gears. Aside from this particular problem the car has been excellent!! Great gas mileage, fun to drive, all systems work perfectly, very dependable!!
