Transmission Problem
BEWARE OF MITSUBISHI GALANT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS (2003 for me) I learned the hard way from a excellent transmission shop about the flaw in my 3.0 V6 model with 4 speed automatic where these where a 'clip' deep inside the tranny breaks! This shop used to keep several extra trannys in the shop fully expecting to have customers come in for this very issue. He told me about it before he even opened it up and proved it to me! These broken pieces, for one scenario, end up in the pump causing your tranny to fail and needs to be rebuilt. One main sympton is it will not go into any gear! Sometimes you hear the rattling as you run it. Get newer kit if you rebuild it!
Awesome Vehicle
I have nothing but praises for this vehicle. It's built to last, has a powerful V6 engine and is a fun ride. I have had this vehicle for over 4 years now and used it for over 45K miles. The only other thing that I had to do besides the regular oil servicing was to change the brake rotors a couple of times (which is common to all vehicles, std life span being 2 yrs) .
Heater Core went out!!!
Granted I bought my '03 Galant used with approx. 32,000 miles. No major problems until a few weeks ago. Heater core went out along with the driver's side window motor. Dealership said the cost would be over $900. I said no way! Never been happy with the design... a huge lackluster.
Great car for the money
I actually own a 2000 galant es v6 but have owned it fo six months. I am only seventeen and find it an excelent car for someone my age. It fits all needs reliable safe and fun. Most importantly not too fun. Although acceleration is strong and handling is secure its not so good that you can end up really hurting yourself. All and all i have no complaints with the car. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great four door sedan.
Good buy
It is a fun to drive car. It sticks to the road. The V6 is lively. I used it for a year now, so far so good. No problem at all.
