Worth Checking Out!
I have owned my Galant for nearly 6 months, and I still find myself staring at it. The exterior was designed for all ages. I feel proud owning a Mitsubishi considering it is built in Bloomington, Illinois by UAW workers. Ask anyone who works at Mitsubishi and they will tell you that they are proud of what they build. The engine is very responsive and the torque put out is amazing for a 4 cylinder. The 8-speaker Infiniti sound system is amazing. The interior turns many heads at night with the blue dash lights. I was also attracted to the Galant because of one of the best warranties around, 10-year- 100,000 thousand miles. Plus I get 3 years maintenance and roadside assistance.
2004 Galant ES
The wife and I love this car. It is roomy and fast for a four cylinder, with excellent fuel mileage. I recommend purchasing the alloy wheels, as the plastic hubcaps are somewhat flimsy.
Dud Car
Our experience with this car was not what we expected for a car with a new style. Although we loved the new design the quality of the car seems to have been put together with the cheapest materials Mitsubishi could find. The test drive was nice but two weeks into ownership there seemed to be a lot more engine noise than what we experienced on the test drive. This car's initial quality was pitiful.
Beats Altima
I work in the car rental business, so I often change cars that I use as company cars. My previous car was the Pontiac Grand Prix. The V4 engine is a bit sluggish with the acceleration, like there is a delay when you floor it. But when you get it up to speed, it performs great and you are very comfortably at 80 mph. The breaks are great right off the bat. I'm not sure if it has traction control or not. If it does, it's not great. So it's a bit tough to accelerate from wet pavement. I have previously driven the Nissan Altima as a company car and I'm not sure why it's hailed as the category leader. It's nosier than the Galant, feels much lighter and flimsier.
Every Thing You Need
As you can see the Galant has a very attractive design, especially for a 4 door. It has exellent acceleration and rides smooth at high speeds. The Galant has more leg room then some trucks and SUVs that I have been in. I'd rather watch t.v. in my Galant then my lazy boy. The only complaint I have is its turning radius does not meet my standards.
