  Great car both mechanically and structurally. - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By mhannah1 - November 2 - 8:52 pm

  My daughter was in a terrible accident at a very high rate of speed on the interstate. The front end was unrecognizable. My daughter walked away without a scratch. This car can sustain major front and side impacts. We truly believe this car saved our daughters life. We bought it brand new and never had a problem with it, very reliable. We will be looking for another one as a replacement.

  Most reliable car Ive ever owned - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By TW - September 18 - 4:16 pm

  Yes I was one of "those" who bought this car brand new. Of course after two Fords and a Chevy, Id wanted to give the foreign market a try. Honda and Toyota were too expensive and the Galant turned out to be a great commuter car. 146K miles later and I must say its been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. No major work outside of schedule maintenance. Changed the oil every 5K. Id rate this car just as high as any Honda or Toyota from the same year. Are there things that could be better? Yeah usually there are, but Im very pleased with the Galant.

  I like my Mitsubishi Galant but the paint on the roof and hood rusted out after only two years. Otherwise I love the car!

  very satisfied - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By buckstalker - July 3 - 6:25 pm

  My wife found this car for my son. It had 100k miles on it. It was the first car I bought with 100k miles. My son has been traveling back and forth from college with this car and its been a very reliable car NO PROBLEMS. We have had the car now 4 years and its hasnt cost a penny for maintenance other than normal oil changes and such.

  I Love my Sporty Galant! - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Meeksups - May 18 - 5:06 pm

  I got my 2002 red Mitsubishi Galant ES used for $9,999 with just under 15,000 miles on it back in 2003. I fell in love with the side profile and spoiler. This is my second car (my first was a 1990 Mazda MX-6). I would say most of these reviews are accurate. This is an excellent used car to buy. The only problem Ive encountered required a new front oxygen sensor. Otherwise its mechanically sound. Despite my inexperience with cars, I feel this car handles very well. The acceleration is pretty decent too. I cant wait to throw some moderately flashy 18" rims on it to make it really stand out. As far as the inside is concerned, yes the back seat is a little cramped, but its fine with me because Im the driver..hehe.

  Never Again - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By brandon - May 13 - 4:16 pm

  We were so excited to be buying a brand new car. Newly married, first baby on the way, little did we know what a surprise we were in for. In the first two years alone, this vehicle was in for warrenty work at least 12 times. After having the car for 3 weeks they still never figured out what was wrong with it. While driving at highway speeds with the cruise on it would rev out as if someone slammed it into first gear. The dealer kept saying "this car is so great and best rated car" blah blah blah. I will NEVER buy a Mitsubishi product again...EVER.

  My 2002 Galant - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Claren Megow - April 25 - 12:46 am

  I love my Galant. I bought mine three years ago. I bought it used so there were some things that need to be replaced. It ran excellent the day I bought and continues to run great. I did have to take it to the shop to clean out the A/C filter. The heating coil is broken so there is no heat in the car, but where I lived that was not a major problem. I do want to get it replaced now that I have moved to a different state. But overall this is a great car.

  GTZ Owner - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Sug6ar - January 15 - 3:20 am

  Yes I agree that the Camry is nice and so is the Altima, thats if you want to pay too much and lack a sense of style....but as a GTZ owner, I cant get enough compliments. So what if its a BMW knock off, at least I paid half the cost. Since Ive owned it, driving has become fun again and I always feel safe driving it. It may not have been your first choice...but its #1 with me.

  This Ones Tricky - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By AlmostGood - November 4 - 10:00 am

  I got a nice deal on a this car and walked out of the dealership without putting a dime down plus 2.9 percent for 6 years (thats like free money). The 0 down is misleading, b/c its a 36 month term and the payment can be really high (unless you put a significant down payment on it).
