  • Fabulous car - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    My Galant is a great car, reliable, fun to drive, good on snow on ice, great sporty look; even 8 years later I get compliments. I have the V6 and the 3.0L engine and get at least 25 mpg commuting to work in the country. I will hate to see it go when the time comes. Then V6 transitions smoothly and functions well on the highway when passing,even with the AC on. It has a great dashboard, easy to read; has room for adults to sit comfortably in the back seat. Great visibility to the right in front windshield, unlike other similar cars.

    As said in the title of this review, dont be like your neighbors and everyone else and buy an Accord or Camry, get the Galant. You will not fall asleep looking at it. Its less expensive, more fun to drive, and better looking. Its amazing how many people look as you drive down the street. Ive had it for almost 2 months, bought new, the only problem is the front headlight gasket came loose on the right side, but it was quickly repaired under warranty.

  • Its not going to work!! - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant

    This car has a fairly nice design, but is too under-powered for my taste and for the price I paid for it (13K used!) I should have bought the Diamante!

  • Junk - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I bought my Galant after receiving a settlement from a bad car accident. Figuring it was a good deal (89k for 3,900), seemed fantastic. It drove fine for a while. Then I realized, it gets 21 MPG on average. Really? For a 4 cylinder motor I expected much more. As for handling, its alright. Ive driven better and Ive driven worse. I would never ever endorse this car. My mistake. Hopefully no one else does the same thing.

  • So Far, So Good - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I purchased a used 01 Mitsu Galant ES (V6). Less than two weeks after purchase, I had to get a new bearing assembly for the left rear wheel. That was a surprise! However, since then Ive had no additional problems. Since purchase one year ago, I have put another 8K miles on it (present mileage: 98K). So far, its shaping up to be a nice, reliable car. Listen, its not my dream car (that would have to be a 1976 AMC Pacer), but Im glad I purchased it.

    We have had the car for six months now with absolutely no troubles. The only weakness so far is road noise, and lack of take off power.

  • Really fun car - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I bought mine in 02 pre-driven with 12k miles. Right now I have 95k. No problemos at all, except regular: brakes, rotors etc. fun to drive, nice design, good power. It was really worth it every penny. Only downside huge price reduction and poor mileage.

  • Great Car - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    This car has done everything Ive asked it to do and more. I truly believe I could not have bought a better car for what I paid ($20,000). Its fast, has incredible handling, and the brakes are unbelievably strong. I conciously brake slowly, because cars behind me rarely can brake as quickly. With 9,900 miles on it, the only problems Ive had were a bad key fob and an air bag that needed replacement. Neither affected the reliability of the car, and were both replaced under warranty. This is my third Mitsubishi product, and I highly recommend their products.

  • Fun to Drive, But... - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I have owned my GTZ for a year and half. Since date of purchase the car has received one new side airbag, TWO new rear speed sensors, a new battery, the weather stripping over front head lights has been replaced, and the Inifinity radio no longer ejects or accepts CDs. Additionally , I had to have the brake rotors turned and the pads replaced myself since the Dealership would NOT warranty them! The car is great to drive, difficult to own.

  • The fast and the furious owner - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    ive owned this vehicle for about 2 years now and the engine and transmission are a dream but the quality and craftmanship are the worst Ive ever experienced, two of my windows electric motors are shot, the factory rotors were warped before I even broke in the engine...i would think twice before purchasing this vehicle. In a two year period, trade in value is about a third of the purchase price.....
