  • Smooth and Practical - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Before last weekend, I never thought that I would get a Mitsubishi car in my life. The precise control is similar to and the ride is much smoother than my last car-93 Nissan Altima. I did some research and compared it to Accord, Camery, Altima & Torus that interest me. In my opinion, Galant ES V6 is a practical family car with excellent performance and is the best bang for the buck. Since not too many people desire Galant, there is much room to negotiate the price with the dealer. What impulsived me to get a Galant is because of its 0% Finance plan for 60 months.

  • Could be better...could be worse - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant

    I purchased this car this year, for $9,000. It already had 60,000 miles on it, but it is in great condition. The gas mileage on this car is horrible. I just got rid of an SUV because of the gas mileage, but this isnt a big change. It gets about 200 miles to the tank, which is comparable to the Jeep that I had. The car interior and exterior are just OK. The exterior is nice, but the interior reminds me of a cheap Saturn. It can be a good car, but if looking for luxury or style, this is not the car.

    The car has decent pickup for being a 4 cyl. Very comfortable sets w/8way adj drivers seat. Very good on NOT using all your gas on short or long trips! The car handles very well not sluggish at all. The cd/player and speakers have great sound. I love the look and usefullnes of the fogg lights. It is a great car!!!!!!!!!!

  • Fine by me - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I bought my 03 new in February 04. I can say it has been a good car. I have 83K on it now. I had to replace the battery (last week) the 02 sensor, and just replaced the brakes at 81000 miles. Aside from that it has been fine. I drive it mostly on the highway and get an average of 27 mpg. For the money spent I have no complaints. I like the soft ride and the car handles fine. I have the 2.4 4 cyl, 6 would be better. However, it has get up and go enough for the commute to work everyday. Looks good, runs fine.

    I recently have taken a 03 Gallant ES with 85k on it for 5,000$ cash from the owner. Its a very nice car. Drives grate, very smooth and reliable: Its a Japanese car! Most people just know Honda and Toyota but in fact these brands are not much better than other Japanese brands. I recommend this car to every one who wants to have a great car for the price. Exterior design is really beautiful and fantastic. The interior has everything you need. I love my Galant!

  • Buy This car if you want to be safe - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I have had this car for nearly 70K miles. It is incredibly reliable. The only thing wrong is its comestic defects, like the finish becoming dull with age. I have had problems with the air conditioner, like many of the other reviews state and currently need a new air compressor. If you want a car that will save your life should you ever get into an accident get this one. It gets great gas mileage on the highway, but not so great mileage in town. Reliable reliable reliable though! I love my car

  • Batter Than Expected - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I got my Galant with 42 miles on it. Now it has over 125K. This car has been almost problem free from the beginning. The Heater gave out but the warranty covered the damages. The Brakes need to be services a bit too often. But other than that, this car is a gem. Always starts on point and has no issues to date. I do a lot of highway driving so gas mileage is OK for me. However city driving does tend to eat away at the gas mileage a bit faster. The horsepower is adequate. Sound system is great. Body is OK. Front bumper is very sensitive. Resale for the owner is terrible, but is favorable for a used car buyer. I highly recommend this car for someone wishing to purchase a reliable used car.

  • Great car for the money - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I actually own a 2000 galant es v6 but have owned it fo six months. I am only seventeen and find it an excelent car for someone my age. It fits all needs reliable safe and fun. Most importantly not too fun. Although acceleration is strong and handling is secure its not so good that you can end up really hurting yourself. All and all i have no complaints with the car. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great four door sedan.

  • Love This Car - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I bought my Galant about 3 weeks ago. It had 32,000 miles, very low I thought for an 03. The interior and exterior were in great shape. I feel in love with this car as soon as I took it for a test drive. It was either between an 06 Malibu or the 03 Galant. The Galant drives so smoothly Im glad I chose it. They style of the car is sporty yet "mature". My car already came with the spoilier so thats why it looks sporty. The interior looks like every other Galant, the greyish color seats. The car is very spacious, bigger then my neon. So far I dig this car and I hope it lasts me for a long time :)

  • I LOVE IT - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant

    Its nice and easy to drive, comfortable seat, but it should install a handle for old people get in or get out the car. It has a 2.4L engine,its quite powerful for a 4 cylinder car and its very reliability.
