Smooth and Practical

Before last weekend, I never thought that I would get a Mitsubishi car in my life. The precise control is similar to and the ride is much smoother than my last car-'93 Nissan Altima. I did some research and compared it to Accord, Camery, Altima & Torus that interest me. In my opinion, Galant ES V6 is a practical family car with excellent performance and is the best bang for the buck. Since not too many people desire Galant, there is much room to negotiate the price with the dealer. What impulsived me to get a Galant is because of its 0% Finance plan for 60 months.

This is a nice car. Fun to drive. The V6 moves the car well. The 4 banger was not nearly enough engine for this car.

Fantastic Car

Almost 2 years and 20k miles later my Galant is still as perfect as the day I purchased it. Fuel economy is much better than expected - I've seen 31 mpg which is several better than the EPA highway rating. Engine is smooth and has plenty of power for passing. The transmission is fantastic, I never feel it shift. All the controls are simple and logically laid out so they fall right to hand. Reliability has been outstanding. Never anything other than regular maintenance.

In most cases, a solid vehicle

My dad and I bought a black 03 Mitsubishi Galant ES with the fun and sun package. It currently has about 114,000 miles on it and honestly, I wish I could say it runs well. When we purchased it, we noticed the paint was degrading in areas on the roof, hood, and upper quarter-panels. We had it repainted at MAACO (Presidential service) for maybe around $299? Well after that, I began noticing a "bump" while the car shifted from gear to gear. Recently, I've been getting around 16 miles per gallon, city and highway driving. I got the transmission fixed , but it seems the engine's shaky idle is affecting it. I love this car so much, but I've spent too much money fixing it. :(

ES V6 is Excellent

I just love this car! The V6 is smooth and powerful. The seven speaker sound system sounds great. The transmission works incredibly well with little hesitation. The car looks great, too. The only thing that I dislike is that it does not have a 60/40 folding rear seat. This car is definitely a great alternative to the boring Camry and the generic Accord. I always enjoy being in the driver's seat of this car.
