  • Heater Core went out!!! - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Granted I bought my 03 Galant used with approx. 32,000 miles. No major problems until a few weeks ago. Heater core went out along with the drivers side window motor. Dealership said the cost would be over $900. I said no way! Never been happy with the design... a huge lackluster.

  • Its Getting Long in the Tooth - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Maybe it was a sharp design in 98, but now it looks old and boring inside and out. Ive been looking for a 6 cyl sedan, and it only took a few minutes for me to know that the Galant wouldnt cut it. How did it get up to $23,800 and still have cloth seats? Im still shopping, but the Galant is definately behind the Chrysler Sebring and Mazda6. The Chrysler and Mazda dealers were far more willing to deal and both cars are new designs and feel more solid. Even though I asked twice, Wantaugh Mitsubishi never let me know what invoice was on the car.

  • Impressive Sedan - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Lured in by the 0% financing and left with what must be the best car in the price range. Handles as well or better then any car Ive driven, including my 96 Passatt. Excellent design and many compliments for the Audi/BMW inspired exterior with the Dover White Pearl paint with the 14K gold lettering. Great car, great value.

  • Mitsubishi has once again impressed me. - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I am a very simple man and only need basics when coming to a car. I seek most importantly Reliablity, Ride and Comfort, Safety, Power and Handling Dynamics. Of all the midsizers I tested when I was shopping for a car, I felt confident with the Galant. It is a very competent automobile, feels very European. In fact, of all the midsizers I tested, I got the Galant for myself and the Passat for my wife. Both cars are still great and I would reccomend it to anyone who is looking for what I am looking for.

  • Great Car - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I was looking for cars between $20k and $25K, and the Galant by far gives the most bang for the buck compared to others like the Camary and Accord. The GTZ is a great looking car with everything included...V6, sunroof, leather, cd stereo, alloy wheels, power seat, window, mirror, etc. Great acceleration with a very smooth, tight drive and handles great on highways. I only have 10,00 miles, but no problems so far.

  • not performing up to par but classy look - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    My Galant LS is supposed to get 20city mpg and 26 highway mpg but consistently gets 16-18. Ive swithced to mid grade with no difference in fuel economy. The gauge is starnge too, it gets 100 miles or so from full - 3/4 tank; 80 or so from 3/4 to 1/2 and 40 from 1/2 to 1/4. It is also hard to find a comfortable temp sometimes...but the car is darn good looking, awesome interior design in the LS

  • ES V6 is Excellent - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I just love this car! The V6 is smooth and powerful. The seven speaker sound system sounds great. The transmission works incredibly well with little hesitation. The car looks great, too. The only thing that I dislike is that it does not have a 60/40 folding rear seat. This car is definitely a great alternative to the boring Camry and the generic Accord. I always enjoy being in the drivers seat of this car.

  • Good stock, better stocked. - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I bought this car at a bank action, it was fun to drive then. Peppy for a 4 cylinder and able to keep up with a V6 mustang (not an achievement really). So it was good with a stock engine, but being an 18 year old male I couldnt have just 140 hp. I started doing selective mods to it. I put in a cold air intake, a new exhaust with resonator pipes, its not one of those loud hondas driving around. I kept the body stock lowered the front a bit raised the back and inch and put 18inch chrome wheels on. I put kyb gas charged struts in and a new sound system. i put in a new performance cam shaft and was thinking about a turbo. Honestly this car can take off and stop on a dime. I love it.

  • Its ups and downs - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Really, its a nice, fun car to drive. Knowing that whenever you drive down a street, people are looking at your car wondering if its a BMW is a nice feeling. However, before driving this car, I drove a 1993 Honda Accord. Another member of my family drives a 1998 Accord. One thing I noticed is that on the Hondas (even on the 10 year old one), there are more features in the interior (pockets on the back of the front seats, glove compartment lock, easily accessed cupholders) than on the Galant. On my angled driveway, the parking brake tends to squeak and slip a little more often than my Accord previously did.

  • THESE 2003 GALANTS ARE SAFE CARS!!! - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    A very large van turned left in front of me at my green light so I crashed right behind the passenger front wheel at 40 mph. The galant was completely smashed up until about 1 ft. from the windshield BUT I am COMPLETELY FINE and I have horrible back issues already. The air bags diploid and I was wearing my seatbelt correctly and I cannot even believe how safe that car type is. Nothing inside the car showed evidence of the crash (beside the windshield which got a spider fractures). When I got out the car I became frantic because I didnt realize before how bad it really was. Safety ratings are important for cars and Id say with much joy that this car choice saved my life.
