I Won't Give It Back!
Right now I'm driving this car as a rental while my 2001 Ford Focus SE has body work done. I love this car so much that I'm not sure I'll be able to give it back to Enterprise. It handles very well and that V6 is powerful yet smooth. I was driving down the 405 freeway going over 100MPH and didn't even realize it. It felt like I was only going 65. My little Focus has nothing on this car. Well, I think my stereo is better than the one in the Galant.
I must have a lemon
I bought my Galant brand new in 2004. I've had more problems with my car than any other car I've ever had. Within the first 6 months, my horn stopped working which is pretty dangerous if I needed it to prevent an accident. I had squeaky breaks for months and paid over $900 to fix the problem. After replacing them twice and they still squeaked I ended up having to buy ceramic brake pads and that stopped the squeaking but I had to get management involved to even fix the problem. My headlights go out often! I've just been very disappointed with this car. I'm trying to keep it until it falls apart because the value has decreased too much.
Happy so far
I have a 4-cylinder Mitsubishi Galant ES. It has plenty of power. This car is much bigger than you think. I was considering the Chevrolet Malibu, but the Galant is longer and wider. it is fun to drive and is very cool looking. I knew the gas mileage wasn't the best but it is a big 4-cylinder engine (2.4L). I have 1,000 miles on mine so far. It handles the bumps in the road very well. At 70 mph you think you are in a much bigger car. It is very smooth.
Good looks and rides great
This is my 4th galant since 1993. By far this is the best looking. Both in interior and exterior design. In my 10 years with a Galant, never had any problems. Good on gas, but this GTS has a 6 cylender engine, compaired to the other 4 cylinders that i owned. I don't expect to get better mileage with this baby, but she handles great and feels even better.
A good buy!
The Galant is safely one of the better midsize cars on the market. Despite the fact that it is not a top seller, the Mitsubishi image is very good and makes me proud to be a Galant owner. The car drives very smoothly and has alot of power. The quality is very similar to the Accord V6, so i'll say it's average for the price. The car is very roomy and gets many compliments.
