2004 Galant

2004 Mitsubishi Galant ES 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
2 of 3 people found this review helpful

My Galant has had issues for the last 2 years. I bought it brand new in 2004, and was pleased until recently. My blower on the air conditioner/heater has stopped working and my engine light has come on because there is a vacuum leak related to the gas line. My husband has a 2004 Endeavor, and its transmission has gone out. We will never buy anything from Mitsubishi again, and we would really like to send them back since we still owe on both of them and they are worth nothing to us. I am now driving a 1980 Oldsmobile that is more reliable than both of our Mitsubishi's!!!!

I felt an immediate adrenaline rush during my first acceleration. The engine actually growled that deep throaty roar of a racing machine, my head snapped back, and my body was pressed into the seat. All this with just a 4 cylinder.2.4 liter engine. The steering was a bit stiff, but very responsive to the slightest adjustment. The ride was not cushy and was even jarring at times on roads that were not perfectly smooth. This might be objectionable to those looking only for creature comforts, but for the person looking for the exhilerating driving experience, this is one mean machine.

Best Galant since '91-'92 VR4s

2004 Mitsubishi Galant LS V6 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
1 of 1 people found this review helpful

My wife needed to replace her 100K+ miles '94 Accord wagon so we looked at the Sonata, Accord, Camray, Altima, Maxima, Mazda 6, and a '03 Galant GTZ (loaded) While testing the GGTZ, a '04 Black LS came out of the dealers prep area. The test drive sealed the deal. I did Edmund research for several days and had the $$ I'd pay. Before I whipped out my price, the sales mngr offered $.73 over, sold. I own a 1991 Mits Galant VR4 (awd, turbo, a pre-Evo) and if it were stock, the 3.8 v6 would walk all over it. Crain Mits was very professional, no BS. Go to them if in Arkansas.

I didn't buy the 2004 Mitsubishi Galant, mine was just a long-term rental while my car was recovering from an accident and waiting for parts, etc. It is a nice car, but the seats don't have much for lumbar support, even the driver's seat. There is plenty of legroom though (I'm 6'2") and the power was nice. I was disappointed that my 1996 Saturn SL2 gets a whopping 10+ more MPG than this newer sedan. I wouldn't buy it for that reason alone. It only churned out 17-20 MPG depending on my ratio of city / highway driving.

I have had this car for five years and I have had to fix the a/c about 5 to 6 times. The engine is great but there is a big problem with the a/c.
