  • Best Kept Secret, The 2000 - 2003 Galant - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Its too bad this car is overlooked by Accord & Camry owners. This is my 2nd Galant and these cars are amazingly reliable. I have owned this my 2003 V6 LS Galant for 4 years now and never had a problem. I did change a leaking coolant hose by myself, that set me back $30 at the dealer. This car runs like a champ and comfortable, I have all the creature features that came with it. My V6 LS also looks great with 17" wheels. If there is one thing I that hurts this car, is that they dont hold their values, so its great for those who buy it used. Make sure to change the transmission oil every 24K miles and get the timing belt changed every 60K. You can get 180K miles out of these cars easily.

    THIS CAR IS FUN TO DRIVE. I AM VERY PLEASES WITH THE FUEL USAGE AND RELIABILITY. THE ONLY THING I WOULD CHANGE IS THE INTERIOR DESIGN (A LITTLE).

    This car is comfortable, reliable, fast and safe. My infant is as happy in the back as I am driving or riding in the front.

    I bought 2003 Mitsu ES 4 door in 2004. It is almost 4 years and never had any single problem. It is fun to drive this car and it is picking up good when you press the gas pedal.

    I"m relatively new to the design as my last Galant was a 94 and ultimately was crashed and totalled due to someone rear-ended me. The 94 sort of folded around me as the car hit me from behind and pushed me into a cement barrier. I was not injured. But the 03 has many of the same features as my old Galant and handles even better. The steering is tight and it handles like a larger car and not the mid-size that it is. The engine has got a lot of pep for a 4- cyl. in my opinion and the new Steel Blue is just gorgeous. The a/c blows ice cold air and the gets good reception although the rear speakers dont seem to be of high quality.

    After 2.5 years of ownership, this car has been a real pleasure to own. Mileage is around 25 around town and 29 on the highway. Steering is precise and the brakes and accelerator are responsive. Even though it only has the 140 HP engine, Mitsubishi put the torque where it is most useful which makes the car more responsive than you would otherwise expect. This is the 2nd 2003 Galant we owned. the first only lived a few months before it got totalled, but saved our lives as we were hit from behind at a very high rate of speed. Were alive because of this car!

  • Hate the gas mileage - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I bought this from a rental company. The car has basically been problem free except for the heater/air conditioner. A co-worker who owns a 2002 model is having the same problem. I was also disappointed with the gas mileage. Otherwise, the car has treated me well!

  • Galant ES. Great buy.. a few issues - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Bought this car for mom at the end of 03. The car performed well for 4.5 years and required only routine maintenance. Two problems came up at around 55,000 miles that I think you should know about. Heater problem- The heater began failing intermittently (vents would blow, but no hot air). The problem was not the heater core, but rather a component (a valve or a switch) of the heating system. I found that this was a common Galant issue and is not cheap to fix unless you diy. The other problem was that the drivers power window began to fail intermittently around 57,000 miles.

  • Finally Got a Good One - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Although Ive only had it a month.... I love it! It is my dream car! Its very classy and sophisticated yet still sporty and stylish for young peoples tastes. Im still figuring the fuel economy, but so far, its better than my past 2 Chryslers and my Ford. Im a bit curious as to the transmission.. it doesnt shift as smoothly or as quickly as when I first drove it. Handling is very fun (on dry roads anyways, shouldve gotten traction control). AC is awesome, sun/moonroof is awesome, stereo sounds great except for a rattling speaker, overall I love it!

  • A Whole Lot of Car! - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant

    I bought a used 2003 Galant a month ago and I am very happy I did. Great looks, fun to drive and peppy! If you are looking for a newer car and you seek a good value, then a Galant should definitely be considered! Buying this new is not a good idea, but buying it used is a great deal!
