MitsuMan2010,05/11/2010
This is my third Galant and the first of generation/body style. Also it's the third galant I have driven over 200,000 miles without any major fixes whatsoever. I will be straight up honest with all of you. As a mechanic I have seen so many failures because of lack of simple maintainance!! 95% of people do not follow the maintainance recomendations of these vehicles and cause their own vehicles to fail. All of my cars have had their 30, 60, 90 services and have always performed properly. I also have a 3000GT-VR4 for a weekend fun car and it has 160,000 miles and all original everything inlcuding the clutch! Mitsubishi makes a quality vehicle, properly taken care of will certainly last.
Own two...,05/14/2002
This is the second Galant that I have
owned. Mitsubishi used to compete well
with Toyota and Nissan on value in the
early & middle 90's. My last car was a
step back from its former self. I
still own a 1993 Galant with 180,000
miles. The 1998 model is starting to
degrade more quickly. It has less than
100,000 miles. Also, in the 1998, the
road noice increased, there are more
squeaks and handling sloshes. The
interior is modest but my dash warped
out of proportion during the second
year. The mirrow adjustors button is
now inoperative and the transmission is
showing signs of degrading.
Overall, I have lost my faith in
Mitsubish and will not purchase
another.

I bought this Galant in Dec. 2003 with only 34K miles on it. Since then (about 1.3 years), I've driven it 26K miles. Absolutely no problems. It is fun to drive, gets very good mileage (30-35MPG highway), and is a great value. Mine has the 5-speed tranny, which I highly recommend for fun-to- drive factor and to avoid problems others seem to have with the automatic.
