This Year's Model Updates:

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. Mechanically, changes include larger front ventilated disc brakes (four-cylinder models), an additional remote keyless-entry trunk-opening function, an emergency inside-trunk lid release and available ABS on ES models. 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.

Pros:
  • Attractive styling, excellent handling, many standard features for a low price.
Cons:
  • Low-grade interior materials, small back seat, no manual transmission available.

  • A good used car - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I picked up a 2002 with 78,000 miles for around $5500. Car has decent/good performance for its class. As others have commented, the fuel economy could be better. Still for the price (about $3k less than a comparable Honda/Toyota) it was hard to beat. Ive had no issues at in in the last six months and odometer reads 82,500. Having driven an Eclipse for the past decade (finally died at 172,000) I was comfortable with the brand. For everyday commuting etc. Its a great car. I didnt buy it to turn heads. I wanted something reliable w/out paying a premium and this car was it.

  • Excellent Car - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    This is an excellent car. Good solid comfortable ride, handling and sleek styling. It could use some minor changes in the design of its interior for example, the cup holders are at a petty uncomfortable place and it needs a sunglass compartment and some coat hangers.

  • It OK, but nothing more - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    good, but not great. The dashboard rattles showing bad build quality. the wheel alignment is forever off-center. And the lack of folding side mirrors is a DISGRACE. Ive knocked off two already. Once when a bicycle! brushed it. Utter disgrace. Engine is very smooth and there is good interior room. Again, its a good car, but not great

  • My First Car, It Rocks - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I bought this car like 2 weeks ago. I ahve not had any problems with it so far. It has a sporty exterior but a so so interior. I agree with the fact that there is very little room for the backseat. Its acceleration is kinda poor. I compared it with the Honda Accord that my friend has. It is in the same class and everything. Perhaps I expect too much from my Galant. Overall its a very good USED car. The value of this car went down like crazy regardless you buy it new or used. It comes with keyless entry, etc. I love this car. I am gonna hold on to it and Ill buy another Galant later on. Mitsubishi rocks!!! Of course, I wouldnt buy a new one.

  • Outstanding vehicle - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant

    We rented this vehicle and took a 2000 mile drive vacation. It was an outstanding experiance. I am currently looking to purchase my own.

  • Silky driving with stylish machine - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I really like my 2001 Galant ES. The smooth, quite but powerful engine makes me drive in comfort. The transmission also reacts quickly and follows a drivers intention to hit the road. If you are music maniac, but not heavy rocking sound guy, you will find that it has a quite nice system of car audio. The 7 speakers of Infinity brand can saturate your thirst of music. With these internal merits, Galants modern style evokes real fun to drive. I think this is the most stylish car in a mid size sedan catagory. Just drive Galant! Its fun and happy!
