A rallycross queen in family sedan's clothing.
I brought a used 2.4L I4 (SOHC 4G64) Galant ES for rallycross. The similarity of Galant's 4G64 and Lancer Evolution's DOHC 4G63T makes the swap drop-in easy, and the 5-speed transmission from Eclipse fits perfectly. With 10 grands, you'll have an autocross monster with 4G63T, 12 psi turbo, and ECU controlled boost; Dump another 20 grands, and you get a fancy built 500+hp rally queen filled with HKS goodies; Squeeze yourself hard for another 20 grands, this car is going to be a supercar. As they said, old school DSM are "dollar-per-hp champs" (IT 14.3 (2011): 12). Hands down.
Regret My Quick Decision to Buy
I bought my 2003 Mitsubishi Galant ES used in August 2003 with approx 30,000 miles on it. It seemed like a good deal at the time, but I was never truly excited about the car. Lots of little things have gone wrong over the past year and a half. The most annoying problem has been squeaky brakes...the car has been in to the dealer at least 5 times for very loud squeaky brakes, and it still isn't totally fixed. The design of the car is boring, inside and out. It can't get out of its own way on the highway. Once you're up to speed it's okay, but forget accelearting quickly to pass. I'm currently in the market for a new car, and it definitely will not be a Mitsubishi!
Good car, but...
I had this car from 2003 and just traded it in this past weekend. Overall, it is a very reliable car. I never had any major problems with it. While driving it, I got rear-ended twice. I also lost control of the vehicle once while attempting to avoid a driver on a cell phone and was hit on the passenger side. I consistently walked away without a scratch and relatively minor property damage. That being said, if you can afford it, I would go for a new car or one made in the last couple years. While this is a good, reliable car for its age, the safety features which are standard cars today are SO much better than they were in 2003. (Curtain airbags, stability control, etc.).
I love my galant......
Mitsubishi Galant LS V6 8800 miles so far. I traded in my 94 mustang GT convertable to get ready for twins on the way. I love my galant..... If your looking for a car that has great performance and your not concerned with extra gadgets on the interior then this is the car for you. It handles awsum and looks classy. Its a smooth ride with great pickup. The inside is a little bit prehistorc and uninspired though. There's no style to the inside at all. But after reading my review I guess the inside isn't that big a deal. I still love my galant and I see myself purchasing many more Mitsubishi's in the future.
Galant 2.4 liter
A highly under rated automobile. Nice sleek exterior desgn. Plenty of get up and go even with the 2.4 liter engine.
