  I love /miss my galant - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By cedest - August 28 - 7:35 pm

  I bought my 02 mitsubishi galant back in 2011 and it was by far the best car ive ever owned. We got ours from Vern Eide in Sioux Falls, SD and it had about 130,000 miles on it. The only weve had to replace in the last 3 years was a radiator hose about 6 months after buying and then just in the last 2 months had to replace the cv axle on the passenger side but that may had something to do with the way my husband drove it. Up until the accident i just had in the last week in which there wasnt nearly as much damage as there shouldve been, the car ran perfectly even during the -50 degree weather we had this last winter. It only didnt start once! I will miss my car i certainly recommend it

  Thanks again - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Happy2x - August 16 - 4:26 pm

  I have spent $432 average per year in maintenance for 5 years or $2159 in total and that includes the timing belt & p/s belts, brake pads & turned rotors once, 2 tires, battery, wipers, headlamps, 2 flats and LOFs of Mobil 1 at 5000 mile intervals. 24 average MPG and a boost of about 5 MPG after the new timing belt. It has been hit 6 times and has always remained road worthy mechanically. It has been 6 months after the most recent collision. I replaced the sulfated battery at the dealership it was inspected for mechanical and safety items. My 2002 Galant continues to exceeded my expectations. I look forward to owning another Mitsubishi Galant very soon.

  One life saver.... - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Rich - June 24 - 10:00 am

  I loved my Galant...I could not get over the acceleration and style this car had to offer....Another thing that I was impressed with is that my wife had a head-on collision at 60mph, of the three ocupants in the vehicle, no one was seriously injured....That speaks for itself..yeah, my car was totaled, BUT MY FAMILY IS STILL ALIVE AND HERE WITH ME...Thanks Mitsubishi....

  Mediocre car for a decent value. - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By pubmain - May 17 - 9:26 am

  The only thing my GTZ excelled in was handling. Superb handling for a FWD. Ive already avoided two serious accidents from idiots failing to yield to oncoming traffic. I literally pulled some McGuyver moves on the road with this car. However, the exterior and interior is plagued with cheap manufacturing and design. This car is an absolute embarrassment to be top dog in the American Galant lineup. Models overseas make this thing look like a POS. The premium fuel gets extremely annoying and I wish I would have purchased a Hyundai or Ford Mustang for the same price. My advise, get a used Chrysler Sebring v6 if you dont need to leg room

  Late Purchase - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By dennysmitzi - May 5 - 11:51 pm

  I purchased my 2002 Galant in 2009, with only 31K miles on the ticker. Currently, it has 80,500 and still running quite strong. My biggest complaint is the oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets that have been replaced 3 times, and the wheel alignment issues that cause vibrations in the front end at times. Otherwise, it has been a good performer, and has never left me stranded. I would definitely consider another one, should the powers that be at Mitsubish Motors consider bringing the Galant back to the market. Overall, I am a satisfied customer.

  Solid Car - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By RodD - April 5 - 11:00 pm

  I bought this car new and now have 127K miles on it. I commute 60 miles a day to work and back. The only engine problem was a sensor going out recently. The transmission hiccups once in a while but overall the car has been very reliable. On a long trip when it was newer I got 31 mpg going 75 with the air on, not bad for a V6. Feels more powerful than 195 HP.

  An amazingly good car - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By drlarryross - March 7 - 10:00 am

  I have owned a number of cars since 1968: a 59 Chevy Impala, a 71 Triumph TR6, a72 Ford Mustang (4-speed), a 79 Ford Mustang (new), a 1974 Jaguar XJ6L, a Subaru Justy DL (new), a 1988 Ford Taurus (all electric package). None of them can compare with the reliability, functionality, and overall quality of the 2002 Mitsubishi Galant LS that I bought in October 2001. Its been about two years since I bought the car and it has NEVER been in the shop: for me, thats a new world record! If you buy one of these cars new, you will be impressed: all of my passengers are usually amazed.

  At last............ - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By pcmench - December 12 - 5:46 am

  I have loved this car since last year when I purchased my Mirage. I wanted the Galant, but at the time, I couldnt afford one. This car has a smooth ride and luxurious features. I have the 2.4L 4 cyl. but you wouldnt know it when you press the gas. It has get up and go!
