Overview & Reviews

Mitsubishi's fourth-generation Galant features some new standard and optional equipment, like a LATCH system for child seats and traction control and heated mirrors for cold-weather dwellers who purchase the all-weather package. It now meets LEV standards.

• V6 power, attractive styling, excellent handling, comfortable interior.

• No manual transmission for V6 models, too much road noise in the cabin.

  Very reliable car! - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
  By multicarowner234 - September 26 - 3:36 am

  Bought it new in 2000 and now it has 135,000 miles on it and still runs great! This car is very reliable and dependable! But it is very boring to drive. Performance is ok, I am a many V8 car owner. Acceleration is good from 0-40 after that it is slow. Feels unsafe above 80 MPH. Brake rotors suck! Vibrations in steering wheel especially above 50 mph. Lots of road noise. Very, very boring. I guess Im just used to V8s.

  Fun car.. air bag problems... - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
  By chinoloco93 - July 9 - 10:00 am

  I have owned my GTZ for a year and I have the SRS light on. It appears that the passenger side air bag is a known issue (at least that is what the dealership told me) and its a ongoing problem. So far however, its a fun car to drive. The engine on the GTZ really sucks because its the same as the ES V6. I mean, its got less HP than a V6 accord and this car is screaming to have like 225HP. The suspension/handling on the GTZ is just super and very true. I can zip in and out of traffic with little problems and going up in the mountains, I feel very confident in the tight turning parts of I-80 into Reno.

  Nice Car - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
  By ejp - May 29 - 2:00 am

  I have owned this vehicle for about a year and am very satisfied with it. It is a relatively inexpensive car that rides well. I previously owned a 1997 Galant and was satisfied with it as well.

  Not Bad, But Not Great Either - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
  By shoeie - March 31 - 10:00 am

  I have owned this car for about 4 years now and have 51K on it. It is just mediocre. Fuel efficiency is poor, I have never gotten better than 28mpg, even with conservative driving. The lower price is attractive (as compared to a Honda or Toyota), but once you have owned it for a while you start noticing all the little corners that were cut to bring that price down. Not a bad car, but for $2K more you could get a Honda or Toyota and have a great car.

  By Ichiban - February 2 - 10:23 pm

  I have owned this car for five and a half year and have enjoyed it every time I drive. I havent experienced any problems with the engine or transmission. The only problem that I encountered was a broken air conditioner clutch and air conditioner fan at 81,400 miles. I have no complaints with my Galant.

  Great car but needs more - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
  By robbieshop - September 15 - 2:00 am

  I have owned the car for over two years. I am happy on the power and handling of the car, even if the car is not a BMW. I quickly wore out the stock tires at 33000 miles, I have had the brakes worked on four times. I would not recommend going to the dealership for brake problems. The car handles great in adverse weather, partially due to the Aquatred 3s and Dunlop Graspic snow tires.

  Decent enough car, poor resale value - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
  By clee1138 - August 24 - 10:00 am

  We bought this car during the 0-0-0 deals for when we were cash poor. It has been a pretty decent car - fun to drive, comfy, and pretty reliable - but now that its time to trade, were taking it on the chin. The V6 is peppy and responsive with OK economy. Handling is OK with the right tires. The interior is solid, but Mitsubishi cut too many corners - small console, no rear dome light makes the back seat DARK at night, and very limited storage space. If you can find one used, its probably not a bad choice, but let someone else take the new car depreciation hit.

  Great car - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
  By brianhinzy89 - June 20 - 10:00 am

  i bought the car about a year and a half ago and it was in great running condition and since then i have been driving it like a bat out of hell and it has held up very nicely i have only had to do routine maintenance and a few cosmetic repairs and the 3.0 V-6 has plenty of power during races and not to mention its easy to work on

  By pj - September 17 - 5:43 am

  We bought this car new, very reliable It has 185000 mi on it. I have changed the oil every 3000 mi and Ive tuned it up twice. I love it, it runs like brand new. ALL original parts and no rattles. I do not plan to get rid of it any time soon. Im going to see how many miles I can get out of it.
