  • Transmission Problem - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    BEWARE OF MITSUBISHI GALANT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS (2003 for me) I learned the hard way from a excellent transmission shop about the flaw in my 3.0 V6 model with 4 speed automatic where these where a clip deep inside the tranny breaks! This shop used to keep several extra trannys in the shop fully expecting to have customers come in for this very issue. He told me about it before he even opened it up and proved it to me! These broken pieces, for one scenario, end up in the pump causing your tranny to fail and needs to be rebuilt. One main sympton is it will not go into any gear! Sometimes you hear the rattling as you run it. Get newer kit if you rebuild it!

  • Great Car! - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant

    This is my second Mitsubishi and I love it. I previously owned a 1996 model and recently bought a 2003 Galant ES. The car looks brand new, the interior design is a little boring but I like the feel of the seats. Its accelaration is fair. This car comes standard with a lot of great features like keyless entry, CD player, power locks, windows, brakes, cruise control, etc. The air conditioning is great! Ive only had this particular model for two days, but Ive had the 1996 model for about seven years.

    The Galant handles more like a sports sedan. We have an Altima and a Camry in my household. I prefer driving the Galant as my work car, since I drive 100 miles round trip. The interior aesthetics of the Altima and Camry are nicer. If the year was 1975 and the car was a BMW. The interior would look just great. My point is at 53 years of age the interior aesthetics are not that important. Especially, when I would have paid thousands more for an Altima or Camry. Ive put 2000 miles on it and the Galant still has a new car feel about it at 33,300 miles.

    I like the way the vehicle handles on curves and the gas mileage it great! I like the new body style and design.

  • Great Sedan - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle with a little over 16,000 miles on it. It was absolutely great for these past 2.5 years. I did not have even one minor problem with it. Its gas mileage should be a little bit better, but overall this was a great car for the money.

    Paid $10,900. Engine is good for fast acceleration at low speeds. Handling is accurate and quick. Interior is nice and comfortable. Large trunk, good mileage. Excellent sound system. You get a lot of miles for your gas. Very efficient car, well designed.

  • Car is now 6 years old, and my 1st year - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I have had this car for a year now, and this is just an update from the last review. I basically know this car in and out now! All I can say is that it is an O.K. car. You can expect the least in this car as far as performance and handling, but at its age, it drives slick and smooth. The body seems weak, but the look of the body has an old school feel as far as classic cars like the regal and classic caprice. The last issue that I had to deal with owning this car was the jamming of the heater door (to where the car had no heat). Prior was the A/C leakage, and a common issue is interior noise, and the brakes are always squealing. Overall, the price is what you are paying for.

  • Outstanding Car - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Absolutely loved it. It handled as well as my taurus (which cost about 3 grand more than my galant) the gas mileage could be a bit better, but not bad, im averaging about 20 city and 25 highway. The car is packed with features for the price. Cant be beaten. The front seats are very comfortable, the back can be a bit tight for adults, mainly for smaller children. Great acceleration, and great stopping time. Love the design. The "INFINITI" surround sound system is awesome, clear as a bell at full volume. headreasts are comfy, the fog lights are a nice feature to have, The transmisssion perfoms like a champ, great dependablility
