Overview & Reviews

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.

  Very nice - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Mr. TBag - June 7 - 10:00 am

  Very sharp exterior and design. Great Power and handling. Very good price for what you get. This model is awesome since sunroof, upgraded audio system, V6 are all standard. Like most have mentioned, all negatives are just nitpicking. Interior is simple and lacks hooks for clothes, handles, pockets for storage, that type of stuff. Minor details.

  Luxury for Less - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Pixie - November 29 - 12:40 am

  Excellent car for the price...with the optional premium leather, 8 way power seats, 210 watt Infinity 7-speaker system, you feel as though you are in a luxury car. For the $22,000 I paid for this car, it is completely loaded. My husband had a 1998 Honda Accord EX V-6 coupe and this Galant rivals it any day! The ride is quiet and smooth and it handles turns well. You cant beat the exterior design of the car either...a real head-turner!

  Super Galant, Supreme gas is a bummer - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By DMithell - November 20 - 4:43 pm

  Love the car, worry about a lemon report on TV about the brakes...my new loaded LS V6 is a little dream machine...rides and handles like a Porche, lots of power. Supreme gas requirement a total bummer...I refuse to abide by that one totally.

  Mitsubishi Power - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Mitsu2002 - December 12 - 2:46 am

  Edmunds has helped out a lot so I decided to give back and contribute via a review. I own a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant with 121,000 miles on it. I had it since 2003. It is a very very reliable car. Any Galant 2002 and up has a very smooth steering and heavy bass sound system that comes standard, which no one really knows about. Japanese cars are the most reliable but this model has two major flaws. 1. the Galants engine coolant system is made out of plastic, so after about 100,000 miles, it may melt and start to leak. Another is that brakes have to be changed often (about once a year). Over the last 7 years, no repairs needed! Parts are not that expensive. Other than that, enjoy Mitsubishi power

  UJs Galant - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By jammikk - November 19 - 10:43 am

  I have been driving this car for almost a year, and I still smile when I get behind the wheel. Its oil stays clear, it has no leaks, smoke, vibration, wobble or "clunks." Im glad I didnt get a Ford Taurus.

  Best Car Yet - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By soclwrker - September 9 - 3:53 pm

  The Galant is the best car Ive ever owned. I get great mileage on the highway (30 mpg on 360 mile round trip), and between 17 and 20 in the city. Other than brake pads, once, and oil changes, this wonderful car has required nothing. I drive a lot of miles, and this car has been perfect. It is a great car and I highly recommend it.

  Awesome Car - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By rg925 - July 12 - 10:00 am

  The Mitsubishi Galant is one of the best cars I have ever owned. You get luxury and performance at an affordable price. I love the resemblance to the BMW body style. Very fun to drive and the power is unbelieveable. I would recomend this car to anyone who was looking at an affordable luxury automobile.

  Great car for the price. - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By R.Diaz - July 1 - 10:00 am

  Car is a great value for the money. The performance is very good considering that even the GTZ is more a family type sedan than a sports car.
