Overview & Reviews
The Mitsubishi Galant has been completely redesigned this year to better suit the North American market. In other words, it's larger, has more power and additional features to better compete against the likes of the Honda Accord, Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry.
- Excellent balance between ride quality and handling, strong V6, stylish and comfortable cockpit, roomy backseat, solid build quality.
- No manual transmission or side curtain airbags, some interior materials feel cheap, questionable ergonomics, needs more storage space, low trunk capacity, no folding rear seat.

Maybe.... - 2004 Mitsubishi Galant
By vagirl - October 17 - 10:00 amI am an avid fan of the Nissan Altima, my fiance has one and I had one until it was in a car accident and I had to go looking for another car. I never considered the Galant because I didnt know a lot about it, I had seen commercials all over the place about the eclipse but the galant was an afterthought. I have the V4 and when I test drove it I though I was driving a V6 and commented to the dealer that as a V6 it was a tad sluggish, they said, "no, you tested the V4", well I take it back, as a V4 its got a little bit of a zing then! I am still getting used to it and continue to be a loyal fan of Nissan, but Mitsubishi isnt far off!

NO PUFFING ALLOWED - 2004 Mitsubishi Galant
By Vegas Joe - May 30 - 10:00 amCar now comes with Yokahoma tires instead of Bridgestone. The Yokahomas, for some reason, provide a bouncy ride whereas the Bridgestones dont. No workmanship like Smokers package is offered by Mitsubishi. All they offer is a cupholder insert which cant be seen at night. It also reduces the cupholders from two to one.

2004 Galant ES Bought at 45k miles - 2004 Mitsubishi Galant
By RK - September 23 - 2:56 amI bought a 2004 Mitsubishi Galant ES in July 2009 from a Mitsubishi Dealership (Schaumburg, IL). I had a fantastic experience with the dealer by the way. The car was at 45k miles and 1-owner when I purchased. Good used-car bargain. Came with great features including powered sunroof, infinity audio system, 17" alloy wheels and leather strapped steering wheel. Excellent control and driving performance. Low on the mileage (I get around 22 mpg city and highway mix). Havent used in snow yet... hopefully it will drive well. Love the exterior and the looks.

Decent Nice Car - 2004 Mitsubishi Galant
By CJ4482 - September 17 - 6:00 pmThis is my 1st Mitsubishi. Its a nice car, decent and I enjoy driving it. Ive had A/C problems way too much and the back seating is kind of tight. I would recommend this car for a 1st timer, or a commuter car, poor gas mileage, although I do like this car, I will not be buying another one nor will I be buying any other Mitsubishi.

Short Honeymoon - 2004 Mitsubishi Galant
By Joseph - March 4 - 10:00 amAside from price, I looked at getting good gas mileage in the city. Todate, that milage is about 35% less than what was qouted. The service manager told me the car needed to be broken in before I would see better gas mileage numbers, however, he also said that my city driving would only yield about 18 MPG instead of the 23 MPG as adversited; with the explaination, that the 23 MPG qouted was an estimate. So far Im getting a little less that 15 MPG, in my opinion, a far cry from the qouted numbers.

My Saddened Galant Loyalty - 2004 Mitsubishi Galant
By MARTIN HODES - October 27 - 10:00 amThis 2004 is my 5th Galant. This 2004 has front and rear suspension which reduces my comfortability. Every road defect is disturbingly transmitted. On 4/16/04 I drove another 2004 Galant, the bumping and jarring were not as frequent and severe as in my auto. Same day I spoke with a MItsubishi "engineer". He confirmed, 2004 is a newly designed vehicle. Is supposed to give firm, non-swaying ride. I asked if less firm and rigid shocks could be installed. "No, this is the way the car is designed and we wont make any changes in your vehicle." I have requested a visit by a Factory Rep. Martin S. Hodes

My 2004 Galant - 2004 Mitsubishi Galant
By Unkkafesta - July 22 - 10:00 amWeve owned this car for just over a month. We absolutely love it. Its roomy, plenty of comfort for the price. We own the ES in Titanium Pearl, dark grey interior. It feels like a sports car in a family sedan. Its not too flashy, but it does turn heads. Perfect for the wife in sales and business associate, with the sporty feel that I like. It feels like a safe car.

Piece of junk!!! - 2004 Mitsubishi Galant
By honeybee27332 - April 18 - 6:56 amI purchased my 2004 galant used in 2007. It was a fantastic car until 2010. We have changed both converters 3 times & o2 sensors once. Also hsve had to have a new starter & a new altenater put on. Not to mention the AC doesnt work anymore either. Going to fix it & get rid of it. Will NEVER own a Mitsubishi again!!!!
