Wonderfull car, especially for the price
I bought my Galant GTZ based on a review that Car and Driver had that year. I started looking at the base class and quickly moved up to the GTZ. It was a great value for what you get, leather, premium sound, back lit panel, etc. Since I've bought the car, it's been terrific. I have close to 53,000 miles on it and have not had a major issue. It's been very reliable, a blast to drive, and it just plain looks great. In fact, I was so impressed, when I needed an SUV two years later, I bought a Mitsubishi Montero. Great car, I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Excellent auto
My Galant has 72K on it, and it has been an awesome car with no major issues except a glitch with the radio that I fixed myself. Still handles well and looks great. Would highly recommend. I especially love the way it handles, and the engine is peppy enough to be a V6 even though it is only a 4-cyl. In fact, I bought this from a dealer and the sales guy was bummed because it was the car he was driving around... keep up the great cars! Looking to possibly upgrade to SUV but will certainly look at Mitsubishi - if it drives as great as this car, I will be happy!
2000 Mitsubishi Galant
I have only had my Galant for almost a year. The reliability is awesome I moved from Oklahoma to Florida recently and I drove my car down here it was a very comfortable trip.
Excellent Car
This is my 2nd 2000 Galant. I bought the first one in 2000 with 27,000 miles on it and drove it until had 108,000. Besides brake jobs, a new alternator, and tires, it was a great car. I bought my second one last years, with 93,000 miles on it. It now has about 115,000 miles. I just replaced the brakes. I would definitely consider buying one again. You could pick up a nice Galant for cheap and really rack some miles with no heavy maintence.
Hell On Wheels
I've had this car for 3 1/2 years now. At first the car was great. I took good care of it. Then the trouble begin. I had a major oil leak, had to replace the transmission, had to replace the timing belt, and the regulator on the driver door went out. This car is never ending trouble. Never buy a Galant. The back seat is very cramped. The repairs are very expensive.
It was My First
This was my first car. And for a first car it was a great experience. Despite its probelms, I had to change the radiator at 86,000 miles and had a minor leak, I have no complains. I have made several trips to my home (Miami, FL, a 500 mile trip) with no major issues. I had a little smoke once because of the oil leak. It has good pick-up after all these years. Plus it gets great fuel economy and is a good college student car to have. With regular maintenance, it drives just as well as the new Altimas, '06 Galants, and the Camry, all of which I have driven.
A lemon turned to lemonade
I bought it new and had minor problems to start (the liner around the sunroof kept popping out). It is still not right to this day BUT, what a great car it turned out to be. I put over 207,000 miles on it with just regular maintenance and upkeep. But the one time I didn't do what I should have (change timing belt), wouldn't you know it, thats what blew. So now it's in the shop and I'm not expecting good news. The engine is probably shot. But up to its last day it was driving great, getting 28-29 mpg and no issues. I got more than a few tire changes, brakes, normal wear and tear but overall I was very happy with it.
My first new car
I love my mitsu. Dont see a lot of GTZ's, in fact I had to purchase mine in a different state. This was the most car for the money and of course the special financing of 0.9. I have to buy a new one now as I need to give this one to my daughter, but I can't find anything to compare with all this had to offer, except another mitsu.
Solid, Reliable Automobile
Interior space somewhat limited - a 5 passenger automobile only if three of the 5 are 10 years old or less. The ride is somewhat noisy - I made the mistake of driving this car after having driven the Camry. With those two caveats, this is a wonderful automobile. After nearly three years of ownership, I have no other complaints - and I knew those two things (interior space and road noise) beforehand. It is well constructed, solid, and attractive. It has been money well spent, and has been as reliable as an anvil.
Fun car
I have loved this car!! I bought it a few years ago, and I have had minor problems. The biggest one was probably that the coil went bad, but ever since then it has just been tightening of belts and routine maintance. It takes a lot of abuse from me. I have to admit I'm one of those aggressive drivers. So I'm not the easiest on the car and it still does great. It has a lot of get up and go when you need it. I have put about 40,000 miles on it since I've had it and it runs great. The A/C could be a little colder.
Runs Like A Top
109,000 miles and this car runs like a top. Other than oil changes and new tires (once), I've never had to do a thing to it, and I am not good about regular maintenance. The exterior is showing some wear - passenger side door handles are loose, body side trim came off in the car wash. If you are looking for a car that will start every single day and get you where you need to be all the time, this is the car. The resale value is bad but works to your advantage as the buyer. I'm looking for a newer one now. I've never owned anything as reliable as this car. Gas mileage is OK, accelerates quickly, ride is good.
Love it!!
I have had mine for 4 years and it truly is a wonderful car. I named him Jack because he's a jack-of-all-trades. Comfortable, I still get 24 mpg in city and 37-40 hwy, reliable and just a good car. It's amazing. Never any real problems. I even was hit by a drunk driver going 57-60 mph and was not hurt except for a minor concussion and that was only because my car hit a tree in the back and I went forward. Had it completely restored and am still driving it now. Amazing!
Good sporty sedan
I like the styling and the steering of the car. It has given me no problems at all. The V6 engine provides this car a lot of spright.
Not bad for the money
So far this car has been pretty good. We have had a couple of issues with the car including replacing the wing as it was loose when we purchased it; incidentally, I pointed this out to the dealer (Huntington Beach Mitsubishi), but they declined to fix it as they stated nothing was wrong with it, until I took it to another Mits dealer and they fixed it----go figure. Another issue is at low speeds there is a humming sound that comes from the front end, and this "humming" is really evident when turning sharply, but again at slow speeds. The driver side power window stopped working after a year, but the warranty paid for the repair.
Galiant Galant
My other car is a Mitsubishi 3000GT - So the inherent ride quality of the Galant is a little cushy as I sometimes take corners as if I'm in the three thou. There are many great things to list - Picking one, I'd say the styling vs. price ratio. From certain angles (grill excluded) you'd think it was a BMW! I like that.
KG's Galant
Overall, I am happy with my Galant. The V6 is a sweet engine. Smooth with decent power. Too bad you can't get it with a manual. It's a good handler. I have realized that I should have bought the LS version since it would have been cheaper than going the aftermarket route for alloys and a decent stereo. This is my first Japanese car and I am impressed with its build quality and reliability. I have owned Volkswagens and American cars previously. Other than recalls, I have not had to take my Galant in for anything. It did have warped rotors and I have replaced them with Powerslot rotors and the brakes work fantastic.
Decent Car
I've been driving the Galant for about 4 years now. No major repairs, so I can't complain.
An excellent deal!
I am reaching 40k miles on my 2000 Mitsubishi Galant ES-V6 with premium package. I've never had any problems and I love driving my Galant! Great power, Excellent handling, and I love the way it looks. Sure, Accord or Camry may be good too, but they are BORING and more expensive!!! Why spend more money on those when you can get everything out of Galant! I have never regretted buying my Galant and it's been 2 and half years since I bought it!
One of a Kind
My sister bought this car in 2001. It was sold to me in 2004 for $900 (just had to pay tags that were not paid for ~ 2 years). It was given to me with ~ 40K miles. I still have this car and I have had it now for ~13 years now. It was my first car in high school and till this day I still have it. It now has 196,858 miles and still running great. Major repairs I have done are the timing belt, fuel pump. I have also had to replace the starter and radiator. Besides that, just oil changes every 3K miles, break changes when needed, roter changes, O2 sensor change, back break leak. I plan on keeping this car until the wheels fall off. I have planned to take it on a few road trips coming up that will add a few thousand miles, but I am confident that this car will make it through. I hope it will last me till ~ 250K miles. Maybe it can be my child's car when I have one!

BEST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED!!
This Galant will be my fourth car and it is by far the best car I've owned. The V6 LS is such a smooth ride, I have only owned this car for about a month and I'm throughly impressed with it. I bought it at Arapahoe Hyundai for $4,000 and she only has 99,000 miles on her. She's a 2000 with that many miles?!? She was a deal! Her gas mileage is amazing especially for being my daily driver. Going to Colorado Springs and back to Aurora she hardly even had a tick mark down! This car definitely has potential to it. I'm so thankful that she has RIMS and not HUB CAPS. Overall AMAZING!

2000 Mitsubishi Galant ES Cheap Parts
This car only has 73,000 miles on it and it runs great but, the parts are way too cheap and the value goes down like a rock in water. I see one of these cars in every corner. They are very common. Exterior parts aren't glued too well. The interior parts are aren't either. Not lots of room in the back. I've seen lots of these cars with the exterior paint fading. To be honest I do not think this car is one of the safest out there. Besides all that, the transmission is great I've had no mechanical problems with it. Just the brakes. Ive painted it once already. This is like a Honda except it has cheap plastic parts.
So Far So Good
Bought my Galant used with 12,000 miles. I have to say, for the price I can't complain too much. Quick acceleration for a 4 cylinder. Brakes wore out pretty fast. The car gives a little electric shock from time to time as the door is touched when exiting. Passenger door sometimes doesn't unlock. Cruise Control malfunctioned, Dealership fixed it under warranty. During the daytime it is hard to determine if the AC is on, due to AC indicator light being colored neon green (someone was not thinking at all on this one).
THE BEST OF THE BEST
The best car ever made in its category. No need to buy honda nor toyota, this is the car many of us were waiting for. I have put 60K miles on my Galant and had never had a problem.
