Used 2004 Mitsubishi Galant LS V6 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Rented the Galant
I get a chance to rent different cars, this week it was this car. I like Mitsubushi, but seems like the Japanese rip-off of the Chevy Impala - minus the ugly tail lights, 50 lb doors and GM craftsmanship. Cost-cutting apparent. Good car for a spend thrift who doesn't care about looks and wants solid wheels. Probably low resale. They need to pick better materials other than the cheap/hard/sand textured plastic. Run your hand over this and then think about a three hour road trip brutal. Need gas cap lock, unless you want your gas siphoned or bake cookies in your engine.
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!

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.
Wish I'd chosen another car
I just got my Mitsubishi Galant 2 months ago (used) and thank God I got the extended warranty with it! I just took it in to dealership last Tuesday and the ABS sensors weren't showing on the dash. They ran into needing more parts and I don't expect it back until end of this week (almost a two week repair!). Thank God for the courtesy car I am able to use. I sure hope this isn't a sign of things to come with this car. I loved it at first but this isn't good two months into a loan! I hope to trade it in as soon as that opportunity comes up. It wasn't great in the snow so I bought two snow tires for the front which did make a difference. The dealership has been helpful I must say.
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.
