  Pretty Decent Car - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Ralli_Rules - January 2 - 2:33 am

  I bought my galant in 2005 used with 56,000 miles. All in all it has been a pretty decent car, its not blazing fast but still pretty quick. I have left quite a few people at the line even with a stock engine. The outside looks nice, inside could use some improvement but its not terrible. Not too much interior space but thats not a huge issue. I have customized wit ralliart parts for more performance. Has been a pretty good car, I recommend this car as a great car for a first time driver.

  Reliable, poor fuel economy,poor resale - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By phil9164 - November 26 - 2:00 am

  Engine is reliable but it consumes too much fuel for a 4-cylinder. Noticeable road noise and not too smooth a ride. My 94 Accord still gives me 30 miles/gal and still is a more solid ride. Dont buy this car brand new as the value goes right out the window by quite a chunk as soon as you leave the car lot( or keep it for a year and youll see how much its worth)

  Should have purchased another car - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Jads mom - October 9 - 10:00 am

  I couldnt find a carseat to fit my sportscar after having my son. Mistubishi was offering a great deal (I thought). Appearance-wise the car is ok. Other than that I wish I had made another choice. Nothing about this car is impressive to me and now that I want to trade it in, I find that my $22,000 car is only worth a little more than $8,000, even in excellent condition and I still have tons to pay on it!!!! Im beating myself over the head for buying this car new or used!!!

  Very nice - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Mr. TBag - June 7 - 10:00 am

  Very sharp exterior and design. Great Power and handling. Very good price for what you get. This model is awesome since sunroof, upgraded audio system, V6 are all standard. Like most have mentioned, all negatives are just nitpicking. Interior is simple and lacks hooks for clothes, handles, pockets for storage, that type of stuff. Minor details.

  Luxury for Less - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Pixie - November 29 - 12:40 am

  Excellent car for the price...with the optional premium leather, 8 way power seats, 210 watt Infinity 7-speaker system, you feel as though you are in a luxury car. For the $22,000 I paid for this car, it is completely loaded. My husband had a 1998 Honda Accord EX V-6 coupe and this Galant rivals it any day! The ride is quiet and smooth and it handles turns well. You cant beat the exterior design of the car either...a real head-turner!

  Super Galant, Supreme gas is a bummer - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By DMithell - November 20 - 4:43 pm

  Love the car, worry about a lemon report on TV about the brakes...my new loaded LS V6 is a little dream machine...rides and handles like a Porche, lots of power. Supreme gas requirement a total bummer...I refuse to abide by that one totally.

  NOT BAD, NOT BAD AT ALL - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Romanizer - July 28 - 10:00 am

  If you are looking for a reliable car with a small price tag....this is it. I put about 110 miles per day on this car. Great fuel economy and solid ride. One down fall is rear seat room, small kids are fine, but the big kids will complain. I hav ethe 4 cyl. and it acts like it, i will not be winning any races but it does the job just fine. all in all a good car for the money, I will even recomend it to anyone.

  Good Buy - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Galant Owner - February 15 - 9:03 am

  I got my LS after its original lease ended and the car had 25K miles on it. Have been driving it for over 3 years now. Not a single problem with the car. What a difference from my previous Audi A4 which was breaking down every week. Like the interior - mine has leather seats, sunroof, side airbags, CD player. Back room is really for kids and not for adults. It is fun to drive and it easily goes 90-100 mph on highways - stable and solid run. Great car for the money. Not as refined as Maxima or Accord, but youd pay much more for those.
