  10 years and counting - 2000 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Irie - July 11 - 2:53 am

  Purchased in 1999. Fun, comfortable car to drive. I needed quick acceleration because of commuting on the beltway. Am not giving this car up, will be passing this car down to my children.

  Still going strong! - 2000 Mitsubishi Galant
  By davo225 - March 9 - 8:16 pm

  Purchased with 16K miles, now at 135K and still going strong. Mostly routine maintenance. The radiator developed a small crack at 125K and was replaced and I had to have new rear struts a couple of years ago, but thats about it. Fun to drive, very smooth transmission, quite peppy - even with the 4 cylinder transmission. Still looks great. Cons are minor: I have occasionally rode in the back seat on trips, and the back is not that comfortable for an adult. The cup holders are awkwardly located. This is on the small end of midsized cars (new Galants larger). Gas mileage 22-28 - OK but not fantastic. Overall, this has been a great vehicle.

  It was My First - 2000 Mitsubishi Galant
  By FSUGrad - March 4 - 2:33 am

  This was my first car. And for a first car it was a great experience. Despite its probelms, I had to change the radiator at 86,000 miles and had a minor leak, I have no complains. I have made several trips to my home (Miami, FL, a 500 mile trip) with no major issues. I had a little smoke once because of the oil leak. It has good pick-up after all these years. Plus it gets great fuel economy and is a good college student car to have. With regular maintenance, it drives just as well as the new Altimas, 06 Galants, and the Camry, all of which I have driven.

  Cheap, Reliable % Good looks - 2000 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Mitsubishi ES - February 6 - 6:06 pm

  I got the car with 40k miles for about 7500 usd and so far i think this is the best car that i could have gotten for that price. Its been super reliable, I have not had any major repairs done to the car other than maintenance like brakes, fluids, etc. I would definitely buy another galant. My galant has 120K miles currently and it still works perfect. This is the perfect car for commuting. Nothing will beat it.

  RUNS GREAT for a 9 year old car - 2000 Mitsubishi Galant
  By ls - February 6 - 5:10 pm

  I got the 2000 Galant in 2003 with 30,000 miles. Since then I now have a total of 153,000 and the car runs great. The only consistent maintenance I have done is oil changes, replace tires and brakes when needed. I recently replaced the alternator this past winter and did the timing belts at the recommended 75,000 miles. I am pushing to reach that 200,000 miles mark!!!

  EXCELLENT Vehicle - 2000 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Mary - January 8 - 2:00 am

  My mom bought it in 2000, and gave it to me this year; has roughly 224,000 miles on it, never needed anything expensive done to it, just routine maintenance. The tranny and engine still run just as strong as when my mom first bought it. After getting this car, I will always buy a foreign made car, never American made again. On the interstate it goes nice and smooth and I cant even hear the engine even though the car is turned on. Excellent vehicle, I hope it runs for many more miles.

  Trouble free car - 2000 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Smith - June 30 - 10:43 pm

  I ve never felt safer in a car. My Galant is easy to drive, reliable, and trouble free. With regular maintenance, youll keep driving it forever. It has 105,000 miles on it now and it still drives like new. The only major "investment" was a timing belt changed at 85k (typical I was told). Besides the ususal: brake pads, tires and that s about it. The day I sell it I will buy a new one.

  On par with Toyota and Honda - 2000 Mitsubishi Galant
  By SarahG - June 5 - 6:26 am

  This vehicle has been in my family for approximately 10 years now, and has given us no major problems. Acceleration is better than adequate, handling is excellent, and fuel mileage is good. It was my mothers to start, and then when it turned 8 years old, she gave it to my brother, who has a tendency to break things. He hasnt broken this yet, which is amazing. Neither my mother nor my brother have taken care of it as they should. I cant even remember the last time its been in for an oil change. My brother only had to replace the shifter cable @ 130,000 miles, and the radiator @ 135,000. Other than that, only regular maintenance, or lack thereof. I will only go foreign.

  Galiant Galant - 2000 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Nsdqmstr - March 4 - 10:00 am

  My other car is a Mitsubishi 3000GT - So the inherent ride quality of the Galant is a little cushy as I sometimes take corners as if Im in the three thou. There are many great things to list - Picking one, Id say the styling vs. price ratio. From certain angles (grill excluded) youd think it was a BMW! I like that.

  Hell On Wheels - 2000 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Joy - February 7 - 2:43 pm

  Ive had this car for 3 1/2 years now. At first the car was great. I took good care of it. Then the trouble begin. I had a major oil leak, had to replace the transmission, had to replace the timing belt, and the regulator on the driver door went out. This car is never ending trouble. Never buy a Galant. The back seat is very cramped. The repairs are very expensive.
