  Bad sway arm linkage front and rear - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By craig r - November 15 - 7:13 pm

  I bought the car new in Nov. 03 with 300 miles on it at the dealership. I bought the exterior package, but find the exterior is not holding up too well with dents and paint chipping. I have had to have the rear struts replaced at only 20,000 mile. Under warranty. I then had to have the rear sway bar linkage kits replaced not under warranty, sounded like bowling balls rolling around very disturbing, makes for a loud ride. Now at 40,000 miles I have to replace the front sway bar linkage kits. more bowling balls! The vent fan motor is also going out when I turn the fan on, a loud grinding sound happens then it finally quiets. to say I am disappointed is an understatement. How abut that resale val

  By eedog64 - August 18 - 10:00 am

  Well I just bought it and so far I Love it. It isnt my style of vehicle Im more a truck Guy, but with the gas prices the way they are it seemed to be a great way to get a nice car that will last a long time and still has the functionality I need. So far so Good.

  Good car, but... - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By former owner - April 13 - 5:16 pm

  I had this car from 2003 and just traded it in this past weekend. Overall, it is a very reliable car. I never had any major problems with it. While driving it, I got rear-ended twice. I also lost control of the vehicle once while attempting to avoid a driver on a cell phone and was hit on the passenger side. I consistently walked away without a scratch and relatively minor property damage. That being said, if you can afford it, I would go for a new car or one made in the last couple years. While this is a good, reliable car for its age, the safety features which are standard cars today are SO much better than they were in 2003. (Curtain airbags, stability control, etc.).

  GTZ - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By floejoe - October 3 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my GTZ new almost 2 years ago. For the most part I have thoroughly enjoyed. My wife mainly drives the car and she loves it. My only dissapointment is the sloppiness of the transimission. When you need the car to downshift for passing the transmission takes forever to shift. The car has a good ride to it and isrelatively quiet at freeway speeds. The gas mileage sucks for a v6. I normally get 22 around town and 25 on the freeway. My 97 z28 camaro gets better gas mileage than this car. Build quality is good and I havent had any mechanical problems.

  Very Reliable commuter - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By MeanWillieGreen - July 20 - 3:03 pm

  Very able small-mid sized passenger car. I purchased used, and off the lot it is very standard - which is a plus. The cost of ownership is super low because the thing is so solid and reliable. Aside from a timing belt about 90K, I have had no mechanical issues at all. With 130K miles on it, it probably drives better than it did when I bought it. I need some more room, so I am getting another car, but if Mitsubishi made a Galant wagon, Id be on the hunt for one. I get about 28-30 mpg on the highway, which is good for such a big 4. Poor resale value, but as a buyer, I would seriously consider one.

  Great Car! - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By browneyes - February 11 - 1:06 pm

  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.

  Great Sedan - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Sasha - November 18 - 1:50 am

  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.

  Car is now 6 years old, and my 1st year - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By dadddydanny2 - September 1 - 7:03 am

  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.

  Canadian Opinion - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By CNDN opinion - March 25 - 7:43 am

  I bought the Gallant in 04 with just over 20,000 km on it, it now has almost 180,000 km. Not a problem or a let down yet, just had to do some regular stuff to it. Replacement parts are expensive and the gas mileage could be better but its fun to drive. The Galant is used as a highway commuter mostly, and handles great in the wind and heavy snow. The resale value is crap so if you buy one, be ready to keep it until its paid for.
