My car has not given me any trouble, it;s been very reliable and very durable. The only inconveniace was had to tighten fan belt once. Other than that slight problem, the car is well put together and fun to drive.
Good looking, reliable car

I love my car, the appearance especially. It could be a little more fuel efficient, but I am happy with the reliability so far.

Just traded my Galant in after putting 86,000 miles on it. Still drove great. However, the resale values on Mitsubishi's are pretty bad so beware of buying a new one. Never had any problems with this car with the exception of squeaky brakes that the dealer never was able to fix. Pretty roomy for four people and it is comfortable and quiet for long trips. V6 200 horsepower engine is really nice. Nice looking exterior, the best of all the model years. Can't stand the look of the current Galants.

Nice Car, reliable,had no repair problems in 39,000 miles .The back seat is a little tight. The trunk is smaller then the Cammry but ok. The paint held up well. The car depreciated very quickly due in part to the 0% for 5 years and the glut of used Gallants being sold by rental car companies.

I have had it for 3 years. Driving to an from a construction site and have had no real problems. The shocks and struts have been the biggest issue. Had to replace a bushing on the rear shocks for warranty work at about 16000. Started to have issues with shocks again at about 60000 nothing that affects drivability, just an annoying squeek.
Nice Car

I have owned this vehicle for about a year and am very satisfied with it. It is a relatively inexpensive car that rides well. I previously owned a 1997 Galant and was satisfied with it as well.
Very disapointed

I bought this car strait off of the truck. This was my first mistake. When I got in I noticed the tweeter on the driver door was missing from the Premium sound system. It took 3 months to get fixed. I then spent 2 months trying to get the airbag fixed. After having the car for about 1.5 years the stereo went. The dealer replaced it, but not long after the warrenty expiered, it would not read cd's again. It cost me 300 to get a new stereo. I have spent more time at the shop than I have on the road. When I called Mitsu about the problems, they did not even seen to care. I will not buy a Mitsu. ever agian.
good car for the money

A solid car for me and the kids. Got a great deal on it, as the Galants don't hold their value the best. The 4 cylinder makes decent power in the midrange rpms. Rides very smooth and is a quiet car compared to my old Saturn. Good looks, handling, and doesn't feel cheap or tinny like Nissan Altima and Honda Civic. Labor costs for regular maintenance are reasonable, although I'm not one to ever visit the dealership.

I bought this car back in 2000, brand new, with 46 miles on it. i drive it everywhere. the only major problems i've had were the stock tires (eagle ls), they were terrible, and wore out within 20000 miles. the car gets up and goes without hesitation. i have no problems passing people or hitting on- ramps. great stock cd player

Just purchased this car about a month ago and I have been pretty happy so far. I paid what I would have paid for a Civic or Sentra but my GTZ is V6 leather power everything low miles. So far I am happy.

I have bought this car right off of the show room floor. 12 miles on it. Right after the warranty expired. I have had to replace Engine, have the transmission overhauled, replace entire muffler from rust. This car has never been involved in any accident or loss. The interior Started falling apart. Whats worse the car never gave any warning signs of engine or transmission trouble. Called Mitsubishi, they were no help at all. Not even a sorry for all the trouble. $24,000.00 for the worst car I have ever owned.
Best car I have owned in a long time!

I love this car. I bought it very weel equipped including the power roof and found it to be very comfortable. All of the accessories and features are well located. Very good gas milege, important these days of $2.00 plus per gallon. Red is the best color I found. I get many comments on the looks!
Love the car hate the salesman!

I went in with a trade and had 2 salesmen with me at all times, took my original car keys never delt with issue of price reduction on their car only dickering with price on my trade in. Told me the cars on the lot were certified and they had the extended 10/100,000 warranty. Very disappointed with the dealership; felt they misled me;paid too much for the vehicle however not unhappy with it. i have 30 days/1500 miles whichever comes first which is normal on used vehicle. Salesperson is miserable never folllows up on his phone calls or followups. poor salesmanship. Would I go back ..NO!
Not Bad, But Not Great Either

I have owned this car for about 4 years now and have 51K on it. It is just mediocre. Fuel efficiency is poor, I have never gotten better than 28mpg, even with conservative driving. The lower price is attractive (as compared to a Honda or Toyota), but once you have owned it for a while you start noticing all the little corners that were cut to bring that price down. Not a bad car, but for $2K more you could get a Honda or Toyota and have a great car.
This has been my FAVORITE car ever....

This is/was my very first "brand new" car. I loved it the day I drove it home, and still love it today. The best part about it to me is how fun it is to drive- mine is only 4 cylinders, but I zip around just fine in it.
Great sporty sedan with lots of pep.

I bought mine in 02 pre-driven with 12k miles. Right now I have 95k. No problemos at all, except regular: brakes, rotors etc. fun to drive, nice design, good power. It was really worth it every penny. Only downside huge price reduction and poor mileage.
Very reliable

I bought my Galant brand new in 2001. Other than routine maintenance, my Galant has never required repair. I still love the look and still enjoy driving it. I have no plans to upgrade my car as there is no need!

I have owned this car for five and a half year and have enjoyed it every time I drive. I haven't experienced any problems with the engine or transmission. The only problem that I encountered was a broken air conditioner clutch and air conditioner fan at 81,400 miles. I have no complaints with my Galant.
Mediocre Galant

We've put approximately 35000 miles on our 2001 Galant. We've enjoyed driving the car however, the build of the car is cheap. it dents or dings if you barely touch it which is difficult to avoid when you park in a parking ramp everyday. we love everything else. its a little small for us but that is because my husband is 6'6" tall. Not very many cars are built for a man that size!!!

Bought new in 2001. Runs well, strong pick up. Only major problem was after 3 years, the black paint became pitted and top of car had all white spots. This is my second new Galant, the last one was a 1996 model. The 96 model ES had a 4 cylinder but was more comfortable.
It's an OK car

Bought this car new. I have had it in for 2 recalls and a sun visor that fell off. It's a fun car to drive. The sheet metal does dent and scratch easily. There is cracking noise around the windshield with body roll. Great exterior design. Large trunk. Cruises nicely at 60-70 mph with the 4-cylinder.
It's not going to work!!

This car has a fairly nice design, but is too under-powered for my taste and for the price I paid for it (13K used!) I should have bought the Diamante!
Good Family Car, but not a sports sedan.

I bought this car used last year because I like the styling & speed. It's a reliable car & fast as heck. However, the handling leaves much to be desired and the brakes are a constant maintenance. I understand Mitsu did a change over on the brakes mid year, I guess I got the bad half. Overall, great car for the $$$.
Love this Car

This is a wonderful car. It is sporty yet is great for a family with small children. There is not much leg room in the back seat, but overall very nice. I highly recommend this car.

2001 galant LS V-6 automatic. Bought used 39,000 in 2001. Tinted the windows limo black asap. And always use a window shield in hot/cold weather. I've done regular maintenance (wear & tear) for 21yrs. Reliable, feel safe, dependable, great body design which will never look dated. Moved to Montana and found with fwd and studded snow tires good to go. No problems. A lot of people thought she was an Mercedes, Audi, Infinity etc. However, I had to replace the tranny at 170K. Got a used one 62K. Somewhat of a design flaw with the screen built inside. So, I recommend a fluid/flush every 25K which I didn't do. Always check. I just replaced my engine with a used one at 78k. My partner is a mechanic with a small shop so we completely restored everything mechanically. It cost more than the car is worth but I'll get another 200k. The car is in perfect condition with a full paint job on the way. The leather interior is still perfect. No rips, tears, wear, etc. Inside is flawless. Only a small cracked line (2") at the front of dash. Can't noticed it at all. Im replacing with a fit dash that looks like the original. The low profile alloy rims were included when I bought her, and they look great rolling down the street/highway. Rest of car is great. Body is straight, no major accidents etc. However, the ride is noisy, but on a smooth road it's a great ride. Turning radius is too wide for a small car due to fwd. It's light so corning at high speeds is a no no. Couple people have always said to get rid of her. Bought a Chrysler 300 but kept my Mitsubishi as my too go back by up car. Glad I did cuz the Chrysler had 3 recalls. So there you go..I've got my $ worth a thousand times over. The value hold good for these cars, depends on the condition, but it's a timeless classic on her lines. And not a technical nightmare and reliable!!!!
