Galants are so underrated. It's fun upgrading an older car. I am currently leasing a 2021 Honda Accord, I turned in my 2018 Accord lease in April for the 2021. Honda Accords are my favorites, awesome cars. I had a 2005 Accord Coupe for 11 years without any problems. I wanted a 2nd car for bad weather & to drive to work a couple of days a week in order to keep the miles on my Accord under control. So, in November of 2019 I bought a 2012 Mitsubishi Galant in great condition for a decent price of $5,300 from a Mitsubishi dealership. Let me tell you this car rides like a dream & is super reliable. I added a decent double din JVC Bluetooth stereo (Black Friday sale for $150 installed at Best Buy), a backup camera & $100 JBL 6 x 9 speakers in the rear. I bought a piano black dash kit for $100 to cover the ugly wood molding & added 4 new tires with alignment. The headlights were clouding so I bought a new pair for around $150 from a discount online auto parts store. The car looks good, drives good, is reliable, roomy & comfortable. Since I modernized it with the upgrades, I don't mind driving it at all a few days a week switching from my new Honda Accord. This is a very good & underrated car. I am now a Mitsubishi fan, right after Honda & Toyota on my list. Yes, I wish it had at least 10-15 more horsepower (although I wouldn't call it slow) & a 5 speed transmission but I'm still very happy with it. If you need a 2nd car & can get your hands on a Mitsubishi Galant, it's a great value for a solid reliable car. I highly recommend it. I'm thinking about adding a performance chip.

Second best car I've ever owned!

Like the title says: 'Second best car I've ever owned!' The first you ask? '79 Pontiac Trans Am, but that's another story. Presently, I have 80,000 miles on this car, and I have had absolutely no problems what-so-ever with it. The reason I have so few miles on the car is likely because I also ride a motorcycle, therefore I'm on the bike a lot more than in the car. Of course, I don't ride the bike in the winter months, nor do I ride the bike in bad weather so that's the reason for the low mileage. Hopefully, I can keep the Galant going for several more years because frankly, I hate the new car buying ordeal.

If I had done some digging before I purchased this car I wouldn't have bought it. I do not like anything about it. I have owned it for 9 months and checked in to trading it off and found out that in 9 months it lost 12000.00 in value. I paid just over 25,000.00 for it and was offered between 13,000 and 15,000 for it. This is just CRAZY.
Fun to Drive

This is my first Galant, it's not a bad car at all. Its fun to drive and the trunk space is great. The rear seats have a lot of room!

My Galant has been through a lot, which I won't go into great detail. I will say that it has over 105,000 miles and hasn't been maintained the way it should have (I just remembered about the timing belt needed changing -- Oops). With that said, this vehicle has been a reliable car and I plan on keeping it. I do need to get back on maintenance schedule, but this was not the car's fault, but mine. So, my star review is 10-stars for reliability.
