Overview & Reviews

The 2002 Galant features new exterior and interior design changes and other improvements to enhance safety and functionality. A new LS model with the four-cylinder engine offers a standard sunroof and upgraded sound system plus the option of leather trim.

The exterior features updated front and rear styling, new 16-inch wheels (GTZ and LS V6) and two new colors. Inside, Mitsubishi has spruced things up with a new audio system faceplate, a rear dome light with the optional sunroof and a redesigned gauge cluster. New titanium- and bronze-finish (ES and LS) or carbon fiber-finish (GTZ) trim panels have also been added.

  not bad - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By KLK - July 4 - 2:00 am

  I cant say anything good or bad. Its a good car to get around in, but Ive had more exciting cars. Im just begining to have a few problems, but I would buy it again if I wanted to be boring. My next car doesnt have to be a BMW or something, but I would like a little more fun.

  A Midsize car with a SubCompact interior - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By MMask76 - May 29 - 10:00 am

  If your 57" or below, then this car might work for you. Im over 6 and I feel extremely unsafe driving this vehicle. It is extremely uncomfortable (legroom and headroom is at a minimum), the performance is extremely poor (VERY loose steering for starters as well as NO pickup in the 4 cyl.), and as time goes on it will get more and more unreliable (has stalled on me already and has 11,000 miles). The sticker price on the LS with the leather package is approx. $23,000. My suggestion is to take that money and go buy yourself a VolksWagon Passat, or Nissan Maxima, or Toyota Camry, or any other car in the Galants class.

  A decent car - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By jldude - April 4 - 3:53 am

  This is a car that grows on you and the more you own it, the more attached you get. Its nothing spectacular in any area, but its sufficient. The best thing about it is the quiet engine and smooth transaxle. It rides like a more luxurious car. I can squeeze 31 mpg on the highway so thats not so bad. Mine does feel a little cheaply made, thats probably the biggest turn off. The doors close like theyre 10 years old and the shocks feel likewise, but it has a good loud factory cd player and despite the threatening rust in the engine bay from midwest use, it is still quiet and smooth and everything works. The brakes do squeal pretty bad though. If it had more modern technology it would be great.

  2002 ES 4 cyl. - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Louisp - February 13 - 10:26 am

  Very solid car, Ive had it for 3 years now, 48K miles, and the only problems Ive had are with the brakes - be sure to get only Mitsubishi brakes, otherwise your rotors will go quick, nothing major but its worth the extra $20... Other than that a great, light, economical car. My most recent check up they could not come up with anything that they could even forsee having an issue with in the next 6 months to a year, which is always nice.

  great ride for the price - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By bbf65 - January 21 - 10:00 am

  v6 engine is really smooth, powerful and quiet. sound isolation is at par with class leading camry. ride is a bit stiff but with moderate body roll during spirited cornering. brakes are strong and non dramatic. front seats have adequate breathing room but rear seat is cramped. interior could use a little adrenaline. exterior styling is really nicely executed.

  Good transportation - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By vadim_st - January 4 - 12:23 am

  It is a mild, comfortable car for individual or small-family everyday transportation. The trunk takes a lot of luggage. My 4-cyl. engine is noisier and hotter than I would expect from a new car, but delivers smooth power sufficient to move around. Drivers seat needs to provide more support.

  I will definitely buy another Galant - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By recruitclaudia - November 30 - 10:00 am

  This car has been very dependable and has seasoned nicely; I now get better highway gas mileage than when it was new. I have nothing but good things to say about this car but will caution that the back seat is very uncomfortable for long distance driving.
