Silky driving with stylish machine

I really like my 2001 Galant ES. The smooth, quite but powerful engine makes me drive in comfort. The transmission also reacts quickly and follows a driver's intention to hit the road. If you are music maniac, but not heavy rocking sound guy, you will find that it has a quite nice system of car audio. The 7 speakers of Infinity brand can saturate your thirst of music. With these internal merits, Galant's modern style evokes real fun to drive. I think this is the most stylish car in a mid size sedan catagory. Just drive Galant! It's fun and happy!

This was my first car purchase, and economic value was at the top of my list. All the comments on Edmund's went something like, ``Great car, but it loses all its value, dangit!'' I put two and two together, and decided to get it used. I'm getting 22.4 miles to the gallon on a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder, which I would expect to be closer to 6-cylinder territory. In any case, it's a bit low, given the relatively poor performance I'm getting from the car. On the up side, it handles nicely, and it looks pretty sleek. I would have preferred a manual transmission car, but nothing about this Galant is compatible with the manual transmission ``feel.''

An amazingly good car

2002 Mitsubishi Galant LS 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

I have owned a number of cars since 1968: a '59 Chevy Impala, a '71 Triumph TR6, a'72 Ford Mustang (4-speed), a '79 Ford Mustang (new), a 1974 Jaguar XJ6L, a Subaru Justy DL (new), a 1988 Ford Taurus (all electric package). None of them can compare with the reliability, functionality, and overall quality of the 2002 Mitsubishi Galant LS that I bought in October 2001. It's been about two years since I bought the car and it has NEVER been in the shop: for me, that's a new world record! If you buy one of these cars new, you will be impressed: all of my passengers are usually amazed.

Good Buy

I got my LS after its original lease ended and the car had 25K miles on it. Have been driving it for over 3 years now. Not a single problem with the car. What a difference from my previous Audi A4 which was breaking down every week. Like the interior - mine has leather seats, sunroof, side airbags, CD player. Back room is really for kids and not for adults. It is fun to drive and it easily goes 90-100 mph on highways - stable and solid run. Great car for the money. Not as refined as Maxima or Accord, but you'd pay much more for those.

2002 Mitsubishi Galant ES V6 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 4A)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

v6 engine is really smooth, powerful and quiet. sound isolation is at par with class leading camry. ride is a bit stiff but with moderate body roll during spirited cornering. brakes are strong and non dramatic. front seats have adequate breathing room but rear seat is cramped. interior could use a little adrenaline. exterior styling is really nicely executed.
