This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Attractive styling, excellent handling, many standard features for a low price.
Cons:
  • Low-grade interior materials, small back seat, no manual transmission available.

  • My best car yet! - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I have had my Galant for 2yrs and I love it. I have not had many problems. The only problem I faced was when the heating coil got clogged and that cost about $600 to replace. Other than that the mechanics say my car is flawless. I do my regular oil changes and get maintenance and the car does the rest.

    The 2002 Galant is a really nice on the highway. It is really a trustworthy car to use everyday.

  • Buy Used - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Purchased the car for $5900 with only 40k miles - ran a carfax(ok) - car runs and drives great. The resale value on these cars are low so purchase it used and you can get a good deal - look around -- I checked out the car completely and it is in great shape. This is the best value in a used car.

  • Loved the 99, Love the 02 - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant

    Excellent performance, especially acceleration from a stop and for passing. Very quiet for a car this size. Only drawback is interior room. Headroom is acceptable but could be better (Im 64"), and backseat room is fine for kids only

  • A great car! - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I have owned this car for 3 years now, buying it new in 2002. I have not had a minutes trouble with it. It has the small 4 cyl. engine but is like driving a race car, fast, and handles well. It is turning out to be one of the best cars that Ive ever bought!

  • MUST HAVE........... - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I have recently purchased this Galant and I just cant stop driving it. Its awesome, I havent driven my old car since. With the spoiler attatched and the sun-roof, it is SO sporty looking. Very reasonably priced I got my best friend to purchase one also just TWO WEEKS later. Now were both riding in style.

  • What Resale Value??????? - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I have no complaints about the actual car itself, except maybe the leg room in the front seat. My complaint is the way this car depreciates. I am currently about $8000 upside down. Who wants to try and buy a new car when you are facing those kinds of numbers. And as a former Honda owner this is the one thing that will make me go back to Honda. In addition I made the mistake of getting into a smart buy (aka: we tricked you - low car note now, pay out the rear later) so I will have to pay for wear and tear as well as mileage if I dont get out of the car soon.

  • Good used car - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    We bought this vehicle used during a really snowy time. I have never seen a car easier to drive in the snow. It has enough but not too many features, which is a plus for me. Too many cars out are loaded with features that you never use but have to pay for. We bought this used, so we did not loose the many off the lot value that everyone complains about.

  • The Best - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I straight up love my Galant. I got a silver Galant LS, and my cousin has the LS-V6. We love ours. The performance on my I-4 was great. Kept up with a Dodge Charger and a smoked a Ford Fusion. I love the Infinity sound and the leather and the power sunroof. I LOVE THIS CAR. Still have it for 5 years still runs good no major problems.
