Very solid car, I've had it for 3 years now, 48K miles, and the only problems I've had are with the brakes - be sure to get only Mitsubishi brakes, otherwise your rotors will go quick, nothing major but its worth the extra $20... Other than that a great, light, economical car. My most recent check up they could not come up with anything that they could even forsee having an issue with in the next 6 months to a year, which is always nice.
Good Car!

2002 Mitsubishi Galant LS 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

I have had this car for almost a year now. I really like it so far! I haven't had any problems with it. My only complaint is that the back seat does not have very much leg room, as I am 6' 1", so my passengers sometimes feel cramped in the back, especially if it's a long drive. I love the features mine has (see below). It has been a very reliable car so far and seems very safe. If you're looking for a Galant, I would definitely buy an LS or LTZ, the DS and ES just seem very cheaply made in comparison to my LS. Just remember, you get what you pay for. If you buy a cheap car, then you'll have some problems. I see a lot of people mad about their Galant purchase on here, but mine is great!

I bought this car like 2 weeks ago. I ahve not had any problems with it so far. It has a sporty exterior but a so so interior. I agree with the fact that there is very little room for the backseat. Its acceleration is kinda poor. I compared it with the Honda Accord that my friend has. It is in the same class and everything. Perhaps I expect too much from my Galant. Overall it's a very good USED car. The value of this car went down like crazy regardless you buy it new or used. It comes with keyless entry, etc. I love this car. I am gonna hold on to it and I'll buy another Galant later on. Mitsubishi rocks!!! Of course, I wouldn't buy a new one.
Most reliable car I've ever owned

Yes I was one of "those" who bought this car brand new. Of course after two Fords and a Chevy, I'd wanted to give the foreign market a try. Honda and Toyota were too expensive and the Galant turned out to be a great commuter car. 146K miles later and I must say it's been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. No major work outside of schedule maintenance. Changed the oil every 5K. I'd rate this car just as high as any Honda or Toyota from the same year. Are there things that could be better? Yeah usually there are, but I'm very pleased with the Galant.
LOVE IT

Its fun to drive. Has more room in it than my prior Ford wagon. Handles like a fast car. I had to make a sudden stop (a child on a bike rode out in front of my car) Its stops on a dime. Needs better drink holders. Where's the keyhole to the trunk? That's my big problem. No keyhole to the trunk. Have to open it from inside the car. Also, the emergency flashers button is placed on the front dash between the two a/c vents- accidentally turned it on a few times and couldn't figure out how to shut them off. Trunk is roomy, but the board over the spare tire is not secured to the car so it occassionally comes out of place.
