  Love hate relationship - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By yuuuup - December 31 - 2:32 pm

  bought it in 2008 with 39,000 mi., now has 160,000. A/C was clogged twice, heater door became stuck, and thats about it. I ride this bitch like a beast at an AVERAGE 80 mph on the freeway. The biggest issues are the maintenance issues that arise, such as the recurrence of misfires which can potentially damage your catalytic converter if not assessed ($900). This car is tough like a honda and can potentially be just as reliable at the cost of good maintenance. change the timing belt every 50-60 k miles. change the tran fluid every 40 k miles MAX! Make sure you put in luxury fluids, like amzoil, and mobil one. on my benefit, i bough it used with nearly new miles. used with high miles is iffy.

  In most cases, a solid vehicle - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By bborrelli - November 1 - 10:00 am

  My dad and I bought a black 03 Mitsubishi Galant ES with the fun and sun package. It currently has about 114,000 miles on it and honestly, I wish I could say it runs well. When we purchased it, we noticed the paint was degrading in areas on the roof, hood, and upper quarter-panels. We had it repainted at MAACO (Presidential service) for maybe around $299? Well after that, I began noticing a "bump" while the car shifted from gear to gear. Recently, Ive been getting around 16 miles per gallon, city and highway driving. I got the transmission fixed , but it seems the engines shaky idle is affecting it. I love this car so much, but Ive spent too much money fixing it. :(

  GTZ - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By floejoe - October 3 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my GTZ new almost 2 years ago. For the most part I have thoroughly enjoyed. My wife mainly drives the car and she loves it. My only dissapointment is the sloppiness of the transimission. When you need the car to downshift for passing the transmission takes forever to shift. The car has a good ride to it and isrelatively quiet at freeway speeds. The gas mileage sucks for a v6. I normally get 22 around town and 25 on the freeway. My 97 z28 camaro gets better gas mileage than this car. Build quality is good and I havent had any mechanical problems.

  Best out of 42 - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By mygalant - September 4 - 10:00 am

  This is my 42nd car and I plan to keep this one till the extended warranty is out and then I still might. I had one as a rental when I got my car back, I went out and bought this one. I have had 4 months and I have over 30000 miles on it. You can not beat this car. My second car is an Accord and I much rather drive my Galant. She is a keeper. Also I drive a lot of snow and dirt roads and this car is like a 4 wheel drive. It goes everywhere.

  03 Galant V6 is best! - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By goldnugget99 - July 23 - 10:00 am

  The 03 Galant V6 Sedan is powerful, roomy, & comfy. Your body molds the seats & everything is within perfect reach. Its so quiet while driving, you can actually enjoy the excellent sound system. Safety is a 10 along with the get-up n go. Easy steering, brakes, & gas. 4 cupholders! 2 outlets, and #1 cruise system! No wind noise. 24-27 mpg. Great car.

  Very Reliable commuter - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By MeanWillieGreen - July 20 - 3:03 pm

  Very able small-mid sized passenger car. I purchased used, and off the lot it is very standard - which is a plus. The cost of ownership is super low because the thing is so solid and reliable. Aside from a timing belt about 90K, I have had no mechanical issues at all. With 130K miles on it, it probably drives better than it did when I bought it. I need some more room, so I am getting another car, but if Mitsubishi made a Galant wagon, Id be on the hunt for one. I get about 28-30 mpg on the highway, which is good for such a big 4. Poor resale value, but as a buyer, I would seriously consider one.

  Dont mess with a good thing - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Michael Albert - July 14 - 2:00 am

  I just simply want to invite anyone to drive the Galant GTZ. Though I have driven this car for only 8 months I would recomend it highly, especially for the money that could be saved buying a competitors automobile.The ride and features are exceptional. Although the competition within its class are of higher horsepower dont let the GTZs engine fool you. I close with the confidence in telling you that even if I made a million dollars I would still consider this car.

  Wish I could go back in time - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By time to move on - July 13 - 2:00 pm

  First of all, let me state that I dont hate this car. It has many redeeming qualities (see below) that make it a good purchase. Just dont be surprised when you are only getting 23 mpg on the highway, while your fellow Camry, Grand Prix, and Accord drivers are getting 28+. I was sucked in by the 0% financing for 60 months so I caved in and bought it. Now Im trying to get a new car because my family just increased by 1 and the backseat in this thing is ridiculously small for a "mid-size" sedan. Its laughable! Be forewarned that when you try to trade this car in, the value of it will have plummetted substantially. Spend the extra grand and buy quality - you wont regret it.

  GREAT CAR - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By mike2595 - June 28 - 10:00 am

  GREAT HANDLING CAR. VERY RELIABLE. GAS MILEAGE COULD BE BETTER. SOME LARGER CARS WITH V6S CAN GET THIS KIND OF MILEAGE. 4 CYLINDER HAS PLENTY OF POWER.

  This car stinks - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By ChrissyB - June 28 - 10:00 am

  I love the way this car "LOOKS". For the first year it ran great. Now.... it is horrible. It vibrates, the front clip is coming off, and it has had the bushing replaced 3 times. It has not been wrecked and the tires are spin balanced every 6000 miles as well and well maintained. DONT BUY IT!
