  • The Car Lasts - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I have owned this 2001 Galant since November of 2000. For just routine maintenance over the last 142,000 it has been pretty good. It will be needing a new AC compressor. The car has a sporty look to it but it is not a SPORTS car.

  • Its an OK car - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Bought this car new. I have had it in for 2 recalls and a sun visor that fell off. Its a fun car to drive. The sheet metal does dent and scratch easily. There is cracking noise around the windshield with body roll. Great exterior design. Large trunk. Cruises nicely at 60-70 mph with the 4-cylinder.

  • Excellent Car - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    This is a great car. It is very dependable and is a smooth ride. The seats are comfortable and the sound system is good. If you are looking for a sporty sedan, then this car is for you.

  • Great car - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    This is a reliable and sporty ride. Its quick and good looking. The only negative is after 3 years, the black paint became spotted with white dots and the dealer in Florida would not warrant the repainting. This is my 2nd galant purchase brand new, this one being the V6. It now has 86,000 and with the new paint job(silver) looks great. The resale however is poor.

  • Mediocre - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    This car has ok looks, and I had 15 years of good experiences with previous Mitsubishi vehicles. I was looking for a four-door car with good mileage and good workmanship. After twenty months, I would rate this Galant as very mediocre. Mileage claimed was 33 Hwy, 27 City. I get 25 avg with 90% Hwy miles. Workmanship. Ive lost track of how many things have fallen off this car or no longer fit well. And they must have run out of money, the entire trunk looks like it was made with the $15 left in their budget. There is a _LOT_ of cabin noise also. My next car will not be a Mitsubishi.

  • Shouldve Bought a Honda - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Ill admit it, I got suckered in to the Mitsubishi 0%/0 down/0 payments campaign. I should have waited to get a Honda Accord. The car (4cyl)looks great and has good oomph when you step on the gas. Had to replace the tires at 35K mile and brake rotors needed repaired at 50K mile and now again at 54K. Materials used are cheap and has adequate fit and finish. Its no Honda, but live and learn. Depreciates faster than an Olympic sprinter.

  • Has Been a Pretty Good Car - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Just traded my Galant in after putting 86,000 miles on it. Still drove great. However, the resale values on Mitsubishis are pretty bad so beware of buying a new one. Never had any problems with this car with the exception of squeaky brakes that the dealer never was able to fix. Pretty roomy for four people and it is comfortable and quiet for long trips. V6 200 horsepower engine is really nice. Nice looking exterior, the best of all the model years. Cant stand the look of the current Galants.

  • Nice Car with great value.. - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Great car, has a lot of power. Transmission is smooth.. Its a great buy if you buy it used. Got mine with 65000 miles on it. Great altrnative for the overpriced Accord and Camry. This car is also a bit sporty compared to the two.

  • My Best Buy - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Im only 18 yrs. of age and a week ago I purchased my first car. It is a 4 Dr Es Premium Package 2001 Galant. Quite frankly I believe it to be the best buy I could have made to be my first car. It has a sleek, luxurious design, and leather interiors. Honestly Id rather be paying my $400 a month compared to over $600 a month for other midsize sedans that perhaps dont have the commodities that this one has. I am very happy with my purchase and recommend it to anyone that is looking for economy, luxury, and comfort.

  • Sound Car - 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Bought new in 2001. Runs well, strong pick up. Only major problem was after 3 years, the black paint became pitted and top of car had all white spots. This is my second new Galant, the last one was a 1996 model. The 96 model ES had a 4 cylinder but was more comfortable.
