Fun to Drive, But...
I have owned my GTZ for a year and half. Since date of purchase the car has received one new side airbag, TWO new rear speed sensors, a new battery, the weather stripping over front head lights has been replaced, and the 'Inifinity' radio no longer ejects or accepts CDs. Additionally , I had to have the brake rotors turned and the pads replaced myself since the Dealership would NOT warranty them! The car is great to drive, difficult to own.
Great Car
This car has done everything I've asked it to do and more. I truly believe I could not have bought a better car for what I paid ($20,000). It's fast, has incredible handling, and the brakes are unbelievably strong. I conciously brake slowly, because cars behind me rarely can brake as quickly. With 9,900 miles on it, the only problems I've had were a bad key fob and an air bag that needed replacement. Neither affected the reliability of the car, and were both replaced under warranty. This is my third Mitsubishi product, and I highly recommend their products.

Interior Quality
I purchased a new 2001 Galant in 2000. The vehicle runs great, but it is cheaply put together. My map light falls from the roof, the side mirror adjusters fall off, the entire glove box lock fell out when I tried to lock it, and the vent on the passenger side fell into my dash. It is not fun to pay for a car that you hate. Also the side doors ding VERY easily if someone next to you kits your door in a parking lot.
So Far, So Good
I purchased a used '01 Mitsu Galant ES (V6). Less than two weeks after purchase, I had to get a new bearing assembly for the left rear wheel. That was a surprise! However, since then I've had no additional problems. Since purchase one year ago, I have put another 8K miles on it (present mileage: 98K). So far, it's shaping up to be a nice, reliable car. Listen, it's not my dream car (that would have to be a 1976 AMC Pacer), but I'm glad I purchased it.
Galant Good Alternative To Accord/Camry
Purchased the Galant pre-owned (off lease vehicle). Was extremely impressed with the exterior lines of the vehicle. Fit and finish is up to the Japanese standard. Interior is reasonably comfortable and dash is easily accessable. Standard Infinity 100 watt stereo/CD is quite good for most individuals.
