Purchased at 37,000 and still running at 114,000 with no signs of slowing down. Not a very FUN car to drive with the 4 cyl. but its been very reliable and smooth on the highway. Gas mileage has been good too. Will be sad to see her go

I bought this car new, .3 miles on it. It's been a great car to drive. It handles very well (GTZ has sport suspension), and has a good amount of go when I want it. I have driven this car like I stole it from day one and it has taken most of the abuse. I have replaced the rear bearings once at about 90k, caused by cheesy caps on the inside of the rear hub rusting out. Blew up torque converter around 120k resulting in replacement boneyard trans (very, very rare issue, probably my fault). I have almost 180k on it now, getting some rust, need some bushings, O2 sensor, haven't replaced timing belt ever. Still starts and accelerates like the day I bought it every time.

I have had the Galant for four years now and it has served as a reliable car. The only complaint I have is that the fuel economy has gone from about 27 mph to 21 mpg over these years.
Very safe and efficient car

i bought the car about a year and a half ago and it was in great running condition and since then i have been driving it like a bat out of hell and it has held up very nicely i have only had to do routine maintenance and a few cosmetic repairs and the 3.0 V-6 has plenty of power during races and not to mention its easy to work on

I bought this car a week ago with less than 82,000 mileage on it for just $3600! Has been a pretty good deal so far, did all the inspections, no major flaw. The car drives great, the exterior design is superior to most Japanese cars that it is almost German like- similar to BMW, Benz. The interior is super comfortable and is equally great!
Decent enough car, poor resale value

We bought this car during the '0-0-0' deals for when we were cash poor. It has been a pretty decent car - fun to drive, comfy, and pretty reliable - but now that it's time to trade, we're taking it on the chin. The V6 is peppy and responsive with OK economy. Handling is OK with the right tires. The interior is solid, but Mitsubishi cut too many corners - small console, no rear dome light makes the back seat DARK at night, and very limited storage space. If you can find one used, it's probably not a bad choice, but let someone else take the new car depreciation hit.
Not too bad, but wouldn't recommend

I bought this car brand new off the lot. I didn't have any problems for a very long time; just normal maint. ~110K my transmission died w/ no previous indications there was a problem. Replaced a cracked radiator @ ~90K. Never replaced windshield or headlights. 4 things I've always complained about. 1.The LCD display on the CD player is nearly impossible to read. 2.The fact that the CD player tells you when it's too hot is an extremely bad design flaw. 3. The top coat on door handles & side mirrors is gone. 4. Upholstery all the way up to the window? Terrible place to have fabric after 9 years of resting your arm there. Vinyl on my next car, please...

My Galant is a great car, reliable, fun to drive, good on snow on ice, great sporty look; even 8 years later I get compliments. I have the V6 and the 3.0L engine and get at least 25 mpg commuting to work in the country. I will hate to see it go when the time comes. Then V6 transitions smoothly and functions well on the highway when passing,even with the AC on. It has a great dashboard, easy to read; has room for adults to sit comfortably in the back seat. Great visibility to the right in front windshield, unlike other similar cars.

This car has ok looks, and I had 15 years of good experiences with previous Mitsubishi vehicles. I was looking for a four-door car with good mileage and good workmanship. After twenty months, I would rate this Galant as very mediocre. Mileage claimed was 33 Hwy, 27 City. I get 25 avg with 90% Hwy miles. Workmanship. I've lost track of how many things have fallen off this car or no longer fit well. And they must have run out of money, the entire trunk looks like it was made with the $15 left in their budget. There is a _LOT_ of cabin noise also. My next car will not be a Mitsubishi.

This piece of art should be placed in the museum someday. How did they make the exterior look so high class? I just love all the lights, the placements, the designs, and the options. If only the accelation was even better and more sensitive this would be the ultimate racing machine. Girls dig it, women wants it, boys are jealous and men just don't have enough gas to hunt this sexy beauty down, except for the rich folks. I wish everyone realized what a historical piece this will become and how safe, fast, smooth, reliable, fair pricing, and cool looking driving pleasure this is. Is a different feeling, being a parent and can still look young and cool. Be that parent, my friend! You will feel FREE!...

As said in the title of this review, don't be like your neighbors and everyone else and buy an Accord or Camry, get the Galant. You will not fall asleep looking at it. It's less expensive, more fun to drive, and better looking. It's amazing how many people look as you drive down the street. I've had it for almost 2 months, bought new, the only problem is the front headlight gasket came loose on the right side, but it was quickly repaired under warranty.

We bought this car new, very reliable It has 185000 mi on it. I have changed the oil every 3000 mi and I've tuned it up twice. I love it, it runs like brand new. ALL original parts and no rattles. I do not plan to get rid of it any time soon. I'm going to see how many miles I can get out of it.

I bought my Galant after receiving a settlement from a bad car accident. Figuring it was a good deal (89k for 3,900), seemed fantastic. It drove fine for a while. Then I realized, it gets 21 MPG on average. Really? For a 4 cylinder motor I expected much more. As for handling, it's alright. I've driven better and I've driven worse. I would never ever endorse this car. My mistake. Hopefully no one else does the same thing.
This is a great car

Overall, i think my gtz is real nice, the handling is great, the 7 speaker infiniti system sounds better than any factory sound system i heard, the exterior style is awsome. Engine is real quite, and styling is awsome. 5- year 1.9 rate was the best deal around. I get so many compliments on this car, and the ladies love it. A maxima or accord with all these features would cost way more, and doesnt look nearly as nice.

I'll admit it, I got suckered in to the Mitsubishi 0%/0 down/0 payments campaign. I should have waited to get a Honda Accord. The car (4cyl)looks great and has good oomph when you step on the gas. Had to replace the tires at 35K mile and brake rotors needed repaired at 50K mile and now again at 54K. Materials used are cheap and has adequate fit and finish. It's no Honda, but live and learn. Depreciates faster than an Olympic sprinter.

I had that car for 21 month. When I bought it it got 176,000 miles and it was ok. It was good car at first year and I didn't spend that much as maintenance. But at second year it broke me down every thing was going wrong and I wasted too much money on it and finally i gave it to carmax . (don't buy any gallant with high mileage).

i've owned this vehicle for about 2 years now and the engine and transmission are a dream but the quality and craftmanship are the worst I've ever experienced, two of my windows electric motors are shot, the factory rotors were warped before I even broke in the engine...i would think twice before purchasing this vehicle. In a two year period, trade in value is about a third of the purchase price.....

Great car, has a lot of power. Transmission is smooth.. It's a great buy if you buy it used. Got mine with 65000 miles on it. Great altrnative for the overpriced Accord and Camry. This car is also a bit sporty compared to the two.

I have owned the car for over two years. I am happy on the power and handling of the car, even if the car is not a BMW. I quickly wore out the stock tires at 33000 miles, I have had the brakes worked on four times. I would not recommend going to the dealership for brake problems. The car handles great in adverse weather, partially due to the Aquatred 3's and Dunlop Graspic snow tires.
Good value for l;ong term ownership

I have driven this car about 28,000 miles from new. For a 4 Cylinder car it has very good pick-up and ability to maintain highway speeds. The car's appearance in my opinion is better than the Camry or Accord but public perception (for trade-ins or private party seller) does not value a Mitusbishi as much as the others. If you are buying the car for the long term, then by all means get one. If you trade in every 2-3 years then you will not notice any trade-in value except for another Mitsubishi.

I bought my new Galant in 2001 and have had no major issues with it. The only 2 things that I've had to replace since then were 1) a cracked radiator and 2) the O2 sensor. As long as all scheduled maintenance and oil changes are done on time, this car will run for years to come. Included in my usual oil changes, I also add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner to the gas tank. Paint on my car is great, but I also tend to wax my car every three months. I love my car and want to buy another new Mitsubishi, but will need to wait until this recession crisis eases up a bit.

It is a mild, comfortable car for individual or small-family everyday transportation. The trunk takes a lot of luggage. My 4-cyl. engine is noisier and hotter than I would expect from a new car, but delivers smooth power sufficient to move around. Driver's seat needs to provide more support.

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.

I love my car and the mileage that I have put on it proves it.When I bought the car it only had 8K on it, 17 months later I am almost at 43K.My friends love the car, the smooth drive and the sleek look.It has more of a sporty look than a family sedan.
A great alternative to Accord / Camry!

The V-6 is every bit as powerful as the competetion (it seems quicker from 0-50mph than Accord 4-door V-6), smooth shifting transmission. The ABS 4-wheel disc brakes are very capable, and the traction control worked well in the winter (on ice). Fuel economy is in the 23/24 in city and 26 highway. On the highway with 4 passengers and full luggage, you can still average 25 to 26mpg with the A/C on. Maintenance expenses have been very low (under $50 in 12k miles). Oil changes are at 7500 miles (normal driving conditions)! Ride quality is better than most vehicles I've driven in it's size range.

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 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.

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.

Mitsubishi has been ahead of the styling department for years..innovative technology has been in their vehicles from the time I owned my first one in 1985. I still have that car (a starion turbo) and it is going strong. The 2001 galant has been mistaken by friends and strangers as a BMW and that suits me just fine. Excellent fuel economy and a big car ride. Abundant storage and a pass thru trunk that has come in very handy on ski trips. I have owned 5 mitsubishis as well as various other vehicles since I began driving over 20 years ago and I seem to always return. No problems and care-free driving.

This is a reliable and sporty ride. It's quick and good looking. The only negative is after 3 years, the black paint became spotted with white dots and the dealer in Florida would not warrant the repainting. This is my 2nd galant purchase brand new, this one being the V6. It now has 86,000 and with the new paint job(silver) looks great. The resale however is poor.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am an 18 year old and have already owned 4 cars, and no, the others were not wrecked! My third car was a 1994 Mitsubishi Galant ES, and I loved it! Great styling, ride (a biggie!), good gas mileage, and at 130K, no problems at all, just regular maintenance. I honestly think the Galant is under rated a lot! My Galants are the best cars I have ever owned, and many in my family. Galant is just as capable as an Accord or Camry with better styling, more standard options, and a better ride and performer. It would be nice, though, to have a little bit more rear seat leg room. Otherwise, this is a really HOT car!!!

I have had my Galant for a little over a year. The car is absolutely beautiful and very fun to drive. I have put about 17500 miles on it as of this writing and the vehicle has held up great. The gas milage is good. The front seating could be a little bigger and the road noise can be a bit loud at times. Overall I'd recommend this car to anyone considering a Honda Accord or a Toyota Camry but doesn't want to pay extra money for a label.
