Bought the car with 34k miles , now have 80k miles and still drives the same. The only maintenance performed have been oil changes and front brake pads once. Drives great on highways and passes other cars easily. Five speed speedtronic comes handy on snow days. great car for everyday commuter.

I bought this 2009 galant used in 2011. 80000 miles at time of purchase.Paid 12 thousand dollars for it. I still have her now with 200000+miles. I drove this car all over America and she still runs amazing! And shes got balls too lol. I was told by many people 10 years ago if i kept up with the regular maintenance on this car it could run a long time. And they were right! So get regular oil changes, never let your gas get below a quarter tank. And dont be afraid to press down on that peddle. I know so many people who purposely he's in two speeding up because they think it's better for the car but every car I've owned I haven't drove it recklessly but I put my foot down when I'm trying to go and my cars of all lasted a really long time it ran great maybe it's my good luck maybe it's not I don't know. The only complained that I have about the car is that it is a very basic model meaning it only comes with a CD player and a radio no auxiliary and not too many features inside the car there's no keyless entry on mine.

This car reliability wise has surprised me! Good car for the money. Interior is not an Accord or Camry and the Ralliart is not the best on gas but if you get a good deal, buy it!

I bought the base version of this car... It's very plastic, especially the trunk that sounds like a tin-can when you close it. Vehicle has lots of blind spots but for the money, it's still okay to drive. One morning, transmission started shifting heavy, took it to the dealer and after 2 days I find out that a squirrel had chewed off a wire that was supplying power to the onboard computer.. My question is, whey leave such an important cable exposed to the element through the vehicle design in the 1st place. Most annoying issue was the squeal of the car when I reverse right after starting the vehicle. Dealer says is happens to all Gallants. Just traded in...

I bought this car new one month ago and enjoy the ride to work everyday (city driving). My 6'3" tall but lean body build fits into the drivers seat with just enough headroom. The ride is a tad noisy from the engine, particularly with the high rpm's upon acceleration, but not so much to be bothersome. I don't care about the "plastic" interior comments from some of the reviewers. I care more about the small side-view mirrors and wonder why nobody has mentioned this. Also, the turning radius leaves a lot to be desired. Why can't I turn into tight parking spots? The trunk is roomy. The rear passenger space is roomy for a small car. The good crash test performance gives you confidence.
