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.
Love it
I had a 2002 Galant. Stoped in for a service check and loved the 2004 model. Bought it 2 days later. I went on a test drive loved the new style and features they changed. More leg room and trunk. Saw it, drove it, bought it, Love it!

The best Galant yet
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.
We love this "crazy" car!
Before we bought this Galant we were looking for Altimas, Hondas,etc., except Toyota as we don't believe its worth the money they asked for. Galant outperforms them all; it can be driven either gently or like a racehorse, accelerates very quickly, stable and reliable on the road, easy in maintenance. In other words excellent and very reasonable buy for end user.
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.
Great Sedan
I was a little bit unsure about purchasing the Galant over the usual Accord, Camry, or Altima. Today I am very pleased with the decision of the Mitsubishi. The car is quiet, fast, and comfortable and I don't feel like I just blend in with the crowd.
Takeshi Nishioka
Great car for the money,fun to drive good gas milege,roomy, comfortable and practical.
wow what a car
Only had it a month but what a fun fast sporty great car!!!!! The dealer I bought it from was great to work with and I thought they treated me very well. I was looking at the 2004 altima and a honda but this car blew me away.
Wow, Impressive!!
Wow, what a impressive vehicle. This is nothing like the past model. The vehicle is all new, bigger, wider, more refined. The exterior and interior styling is very modern, yet clean. There is plenty of room for five people. The new 4 cyl. engine with the Valve timing system provides 6 cylinder performance with 4 cyl. economy. I had been to many dealers in the S. Florida area, I finally bought at Phil Smith Mitsu. Could not have been happier with the deal, the service and the way I was treated.
I love the New Design!!
I have been in love with Galants since i was 13 and i told myself i was going to get a galant i am glad i waited for the new galant body style before getting the older model i would have really been unhappy but never the less i am definately a mitsubishi fan i have 2 mitsubishis before this one a mirage and galant and i will tell you what i will stay with mitsubishi as far as i am concern. I love the sportronic feature in my car it makes it a fun toy. Just word of advice if you are in the south florida area, don't get your car from Delray Mitsubishi their sales manager is really rude and don't put their customers as num.1 priority!!!
My 2003 Christmas Gift
The new Galant is outta this world. I have the heated leather seats and the Infinity sound system. Makes ya feel like your at home its so comfortable. The ride is smooth and easy. Its also been great in the snow.
Mitzu not so great
Have been very disappointed. Mileage is poor, 21 mpg city, 26-28 highway, even after K&N filter and Mobil 1 oil, must use 89+ gas. Ride is very choppy, there is no give in rear end. The brakes, I almost forgot, brakes stopped working when temp. dropped below freezing! Had to have master cylinder replaced. On the plus side, there is plenty of room for 4 adults. Thye dash is great at nite.
The best value for your money!!!!
This car by far has one of the most powerful V6 engines and has smooth ride to go with it. Not to mention the great warranty that the car offers. 10YR/100k MILES POWERTRAIN, 5YR/60k BUMPER TO BUMPER, 3YR/45K FREE MAINTENANCE!!!!! No car out has this strong of a warranty. The redesigned looks of the car will definetly stand out of the crowd.
hot new mitsu
well to start I do not know how consumers guide does not have this mitsubishi as a best buy.It rates a 9.6 with the public and let me tell you the 6 cylinder version flies.I purchased this car for $23,000.And got 1.9%financing.If there is a more solid value for your money please show me.
Awesome, awesome car
This is a great car, I am a previous Mitsubishi Galant owner and this one out does the previous generation of Galants. The v6 engine really moves this car fast, lots of low end torque and very good handling for a sedan. I got a great deal at Capital City Mitsubishi, and I am the first to own an 04 Galant in my town.
Great Car!!
I have been completly happy with my Galant it meets all the needs I wanted plus is really fun to drive
Gallant
This is our second mitsubishi. We are in love with this car. Its very stylish and roomy inside. We had a catera before this and I like this car so much better! We are sold on Mitsubish. The service we get at the dealership is fantastic. The salesman has not forgot our names and is very helpful.
Huge Step Up From 2000 to 2004 Galant
I always liked my 2000 Galant but after driving the 2004 model I feel like I've moved up from a small economy sedan to a very well appointed and substantial mid-size sedan. I bought my 2000 Galant in part based on its very sharp looking body lines. The 2004 model is not quite as unique as the 2000, but much more exciting than the generic body styles of the Camry, Accord, and 626s. The Altima also seems to be the exception to the body blues. Where the 2004 Galant really seperates itself from the 2000 model and the rest of the pack is in its absolutely gorgeous interior. The car rides, tracks and steers nicely. It has very good visability, comfortable seats and is EXTREMELY FAST!
Never Again
The Mitsubishi Galant is not as great of a car as I thought. Its brakes have been a constant problem since 12,000 miles. It has 29,000 miles now. The brakes squeak 70% percent of the time. The dealer says there is nothing wrong and that's normal. I had the brakes replaced after 25,000 miles and they still squeak. Also, the interior rattles. My car doesn't even always start the first time. The sunroof scrapes when it's closing. It doesn't have good pick up when trying to go from 60 to 80. It takes a few seconds to actually pick the speed up when doing that. Mitsubishi dealer service is terrible. The hubcaps get dirty quickly
Joey's Review of his Galant.
I like my Galant more then any other car I have ever owned.
Reliable cheap
I bought this car hit (salvage) fixed up put 34k miles, since I have it didn't have any problems yet! Nothing special in the car but it's really reliable!
Check out the GTS--it's worth your time
I have only one beef with my new GTS-- the gas mileage isn't great. I'd still recommend this car to anyone looking for a sporty 4-door with some get-up-'n- go!
BLOWS MY MIND FOR THE MONEY!
MONEY WELL SPENT IN MY OPINION. I HAVE BEEN SHOPPING FOR A NEW CAR FOR EIGHT MONTHS LOOKING AT DIFFERENT JAPANESE IMPORT MIDSIZED SEDANS. I HAVE BEEN A HONDA FAN FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE HAD ACCORDS SINCE 1988 AND THIS GALANT IS THE BEST CAR I CAME ACROSS IN YEARS AS YOU CAN SEE I AM NO LONGER A HONDA OWNER. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE ACCORD LX V6 AND THE CAMRY AND OTHERS AND AFTER DRIVING THE GALANT WITH THE 3.8 LITRE V6 I WAS EXTREAMLY IMPRESSED WITH THE POWER AND THE HANDLING. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SPORTS SEDAN OR A DRIVERS CAR BECAUSE IT FEELS AND HANDLES LIKE A SPORTS CAR.
Great
good and great recomondation
Great Value Auto for the Money
I've found my Mitsubishi Galant to have been a hidden secret in the automotive world. A great little car you hear little of until you meet someone who owns or has owned one. Never have i found a person who was not excited about their Mitzi!
Overall, Great Car!
I love my new Galant. I shopped for several months before buying in May. I test drove the new Altima, Camry, Stratus, and Accord. The Galant out does them all in performance and design. And, what a great price! If you are in the market to buy a mid- size sedan you must test drive the new Galant. Watch out for the gas mileage - you will not get 23 MPG!
Popular Cars
I do not like popular cars that everyone is driving such as the Accord or the Camry. I tested other cars such as the Mazda6, Mitsubishi Galant, Nissan Altima and VW Passat. Of all the cars I tested, the Galant proved to be the best built car out of the bunch. It has power like no other midsize and feels very refined. The car drives verey nice and looks decent.
GREAT CAR FOR THE $$
I love the look, the ride, the space. I got a silver one, It's yummy.
the best galant ever
the 04' galant is the fastest, most powerful, and best looking one that mitsubishi has made.
New 04 Galant
I got the chance to test drive what will now become my next car. I was blown away in the advance that Mitsu made from the 03(which my mother has) to this Galant. I drove the ES 4cyl with the diamond package. As with the previous Galant, the car will do 85 without much effort or you noticing. The interior is roomy and extremly well built. Looks from the inside to be twice to three times as expensive as it is. The Diamond Package is an amazing deal.
GREAT CAR!
LOVE MY NEW CAR. GREAT BUY FOR THE MONEY! GREAT HANDLING, SMOOTH RIDE! VERY HAPPY. SHOPPED AND TEST DROVE OTHER MID SIZE CARS AND THIS WAS BEST BUY FOR DOLLAR. 9.4 RATING AND WARRANTY WERE VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME. I OWNED A 929 MAZDA FOR 10 YEARS BEFORE PURCHASING THIS CAR!
Drive this car.
Excellent. Had the car five days and I love it. Great road feel, lots of interior room, strong 4 cylinder, very smooth automatic, tight build quality, attractive and "user friendly" controls, map lights, keyless entry, power everything, adjustable driver seat height, four wheel disk brakes. Spacious and comfortable back seats with cupholder armrests. Great sound system, "Ice Blue" dash lighting very easy on the eyes and contrasts well with orange indicators. The people at Kevin Day Mitsubishi were great, low pressure, friendly, and professional.
Great Sedan
As a driver of Saab, Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz vehicles, i was skeptical of buying a Mitsubishi Galant as a secondary car, which i would later give to my son. However, this car has won me over. I purchased with the warranty, saftey and power specs in mind, but the automobile itself is excellent. I am impressed by the design, power and quality of the car. This car is a great alternative to the Accord, Camry or Altima, for those who think the aforementioned three are just a tad staid. This car has a sport-oriented soul, and i am pleased with my purchase.
Great!
I owned many cars before becoming a full-time biker. I bought the 2003 Galant for my wife right before my travels took me overseas. This car makes me want to get behind the wheel again. Its styling is superb, in my opinion. It's a blast to drive. Even though I bought the basic DE model, I'm suprised with the comfort package that comes standard with the Galants... big 16" wheels and room for a growing family of four. This car is pretty good on gas too. I'd recommend this car to anyone.
Good price, good car
Coming out of an infiniti G35 it is hard to brag about this car but it did what I wanted, lowered my payment and got a car I could live with at a good price. 5 year 60K bumper to bumper, 10 yr 100K powertrain and 3 yr 45K free service at no additional cost Dealership is close to home, car looks good, interior is alittle low end but you get what you pay for. LArge interior and pretty quiet ride. Great family car. Do not worry about how I treat it as it is a cheap car. This was actually cheaper than a civic!
New and Improved Galant
Roomy and fun to drive, handles well and looks good. This is our second Mitsubishi, first one is a 1994 Mirage and still running good, decided to stick with Mitsubishi because of its reliabilty, and warranty coverages
WHAT A GREAT CAR
THIS CAR IS A FAR BETTER VALUE THAN ALL OTHER CARS ON THE MARTKET IT STYLE AND RIDE IS LIKE A $40000 VEHICLE MITSUBISHI DID IT RIGHT THIS TIME
excellent car
i love my galant. i am really impressed with the performance and capabilities for a family car.
Amareno
This is the fourth new Mitsubishi we have. This is top of the line for us, a colombian gay couple from Queens NY, excellent, beautiful, quiet, powerful, dependable, spacious in passengers area and trunk. 2003 Galant was wonderful but not roomy enough. This 2004 galant engine's makes sport car noises, different as the 2003 voitire. We are happy with it, thinking on next step needs to be a full breed german Audi or Mercedes, after experiencing this nice mitsubishi.
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.
Best sedan ever manufactured!
This being my second Galant in 3 years should be enough to prove their impact on me personally. I'll keep this short and sweet. The new designed body style keeps the same Galant that we have all grown to love! I tried an 04 Accord, and compared to my Galant, it stunk.
Beutifull Sedan from Mitsubishi
It is a defenitly much higher refined car than accord/camry.
Japaneese Marvel
Over the last couple of years, I can't believe the level this automaker has reached. It is now award winning with their cars and their technology and deign is amazing. I gave a couple of midsize cars a run, namely the Camry, Accord, Galant, Passat and Altima. They are all great cars and but when deciding on the car for me, it was easy to choose the Galant. The new model feels so much like a luxury car. It looks different and has impeccable quality and feels safe on the road. The car is quick, very much like the Accord but had a more sporty feel. Well done Mitsubishi, and I think you may see a record year of sales of this well thought-out Galant.
Excellent - We Love It!
We were veering towards a camry or an accord, but good thing we stopped over a mitsubishi dealership first so my brother can get an eclipse and that's when my wife and I saw the 2004 Galant GTS dove white and we immediately fell in love with it. I enjoy the head turning on the street up to now, the unique headlight assembly combined with euro tail lights is just sweet! Standard with 17" alloy wheels. Infinity 8 spkr Audio system and blue interior lighting is really cool! 3.8 liter V6 AutoShift trans. that can take on the V6 Accord or Camry anytime! And get this, a 10yr/100,000 mile warranty comes STANDARD!
My Saddened Galant Loyalty
This 2004 is my 5th Galant. This 2004 has front and rear suspension which reduces my comfortability. Every road defect is disturbingly transmitted. On 4/16/04 I drove another 2004 Galant, the bumping and jarring were not as frequent and severe as in my auto. Same day I spoke with a MItsubishi "engineer". He confirmed, 2004 is a newly designed vehicle. Is supposed to give firm, non-swaying ride. I asked if less firm and rigid shocks could be installed. "No, this is the way the car is designed and we won't make any changes in your vehicle." I have requested a visit by a Factory Rep. Martin S. Hodes
best for the money
for the money i can't see why anyone would buy another veh. with a 7/100,000 power train warranty.outstanding style, and a v-6 that is truly awesome. i love my new galant!!!!
You can't go wrong with this car.
First of all, forget everything you know or think you know about the Mitsubishi Galant. This '04 model is a totally different animal from previous models. I opted to buy the LS V6 with the Diamond Package, but the main selling point was the V6 with the Sportronic transmission. This car is very quick with suck you back in the seat acceleration. It is quite fun to drive and offers a perfect blend of quietness and road feel. I think the build quality is top notch and gives you the feel of driving a much more expensive car. Buy one! You won't be sorry.
Excellant
Smooth driving, stunning style, quick pick up, more space, offordable price, unique ..mm what else you want?
