  • Like It, but Never Loved It - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    The Galant is an overall good, solid, reliable car. It was years ahead of its competition in exterior design. As soon as the others caught up, they went and made it ugly again in 04. Its resale value stinks, I mean its absolutely horrible, to the point that I cannot trade it in, so I just have to live with it, kinda like my wife. She calls it the "Grampa mobile" because it handles like the 89 DeVille I drove in college.

  • Awesome Vehicle - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I have nothing but praises for this vehicle. Its built to last, has a powerful V6 engine and is a fun ride. I have had this vehicle for over 4 years now and used it for over 45K miles. The only other thing that I had to do besides the regular oil servicing was to change the brake rotors a couple of times (which is common to all vehicles, std life span being 2 yrs) .

  • Going to run this into the ground - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I bought my Mitsubishi Galant in 2013 with 70,000 miles on it. I just passed the 150,000 mile mark and wanted to just praise my Galant for making it this far. I have made one cross-country road trip in this baby, a trip to Death Valley and countless day trips. Ive had a lot of mediocre cars and this used car has by far, given me the most bang for my buck. Since getting the car, I have had to replace my battery/starter, and my AC died on my cross country trip (replaced for $600 in the heat of August somewhere in Texas...eeks). I replaced the radiator on it, and replaced the brakes. I know this SOUNDS like a lot, but I consider this car to be the perfect vehicle for me. Prior to my move, I was driving around 80 miles a day on it. After the move, Im still putting about 40 miles a day on my commute, and it just keeps hanging in there. This car has also weathered two bullet holes in my back panel from a random drive by in LA. Ive never had any engine or transmission problems, which I consider to be the real risks of a used car. I plan on running this car into the ground, and believe with regular maintenance I can get to 200K easily, and 250K if I am really really nice to it. :)

  • I Love My Mitsubishi - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I have had my Mitsubishi since 2003, and LOVE it. I have only had a couple of minor things go wrong, and they were covered by the warranty. It has over 80,000 miles and still purrs like a kitten. I have no regrets about buying this car, and plan to drive it as long as its faithful to me. Why would I trade it in when I am bonded to it?

  • Great Car - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I average 800 miles a week for business and this is s great car to drive. Its very smooth and responsive without loosing the feel of the road. The gear box adjusts to how youre driving the car. Itll let the car rev out more if youre having fun, and shift at a lower RPM under normal use. I have it 4 months and still turn around to look at it after I park it. For the money it cant be beat, I still love it as much as the day I picked it up from the dealer

  • its no BMW - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    I have had my car now 10 months and drove it across USA on vacation with no real complaints. I have had the roters turned once. I bought the GTZ which is nice as it comes with a lot of features for the $. I also looked at the Altima and to load that out the same way would have cost me $29,000 and change. I paid $24.750 for the Mitsubishi. It could have done with a little stiffer suspension as you feel roll when driving hard. Also I think Mitsubishi should have put more horsepower in the GTZ. Considering you are paying considerably more than the other Galant V6s but have the same engine,

  • Fantastic Car - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
    By -

    Almost 2 years and 20k miles later my Galant is still as perfect as the day I purchased it. Fuel economy is much better than expected - Ive seen 31 mpg which is several better than the EPA highway rating. Engine is smooth and has plenty of power for passing. The transmission is fantastic, I never feel it shift. All the controls are simple and logically laid out so they fall right to hand. Reliability has been outstanding. Never anything other than regular maintenance.

  • Cheap thrills from my perspective - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant

    It has stolen some lines from BMW and Benz. Nice car, good looks, friends remark about the Dover Pearl White color and styling.
