  What a great car! - 1996 Mitsubishi Galant
  By MATH - December 9 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Galant S (5 speed manual) in December 2001 with about 80k on it. So far I have put almost 25K. This car is by far the most reliable I have ever owned. Engine is strong, acceleration and braking are very good. Now on the down side... * The RPM indicator and some of the Dash lights (A/C knobs) have started working only part-time! * Water gets in the trunk every time it rains. But hey, for the money, the age and mileage of this vehicle, I am not complaining!

  Galant GS - 1996 Mitsubishi Galant

  Great little car. Even after adding some bolt on power (turbo) the car was very reliable. This is until we hit 170000, then the engine had a few stumbles. At 175000 the engine said its about my time and the transmission soon followed. I am sure that had this drivetrain remained stock it would have easily hit the 250000 mark.

  Check timming belt - 1996 Mitsubishi Galant
  By WolfG - September 27 - 10:00 am

  I bought a galant in 1999 the 5spd w/sunroof. I wanted a family car with a soorty look so I was attracted to the Galant. It ran well causing little problems alternator, battery, brake pads, rotors, and lights. It had 124k on it when I got it. I heard a squealing sound one day and had the belts changed so I thought but they did not change the timming belt and by it being a 5spd it jumped timming and it was the end. I had just paid it off too.

  my mitsubishi ...its time to sell =0( - 1996 Mitsubishi Galant
  By patty - May 22 - 4:40 pm

  I bought this car with 105,000 miles on it. Everyone told me not too, it has been a wonderful car and is now pushing 180,000 miles! Great gas milage, quick for a 4-cylinder! Fun little car to drive with overdrive at the push of a button and power everything and leather seats and even a spolier on the back! I have to sell it now. If you buy one, I hope you have as much luck with yours as I have had.

  Love this car! - 1996 Mitsubishi Galant
  By mdark - August 23 - 11:06 pm

  Bought this car with 150k miles on it, has had a few minor issues but nothing abnormal for a car thats now pushing 165k miles. The car is extremely comfortable, I love driving it and the gas economy for a 1996 is AMAZING. The freeway MPG is phenomenal, however it dislikes stop and go in-town driving and traffic. Extremely reliable and the maintenance fees are pretty reasonable. Id recommend this car to anyone, I can expect it to go 200k with ease.

  Galants are great! - 1996 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Kay - January 26 - 10:00 am

  Since the purchase of my 1996 Mitsubishi Galant, I have had absolutely no major problems with it. I make sure it has its regular check- ups, and it has been good to me. My husband loves the power behind this vehicle. Looks are definitely deceiving! Its quiet, easy to maintain, and sporty. I have been searching for a family car, but havent found one that can match my Galant. I would have to go greatly out of my price range to get something in comparison.

  Great car - 1996 Mitsubishi Galant
  By millenniumsea - May 14 - 10:00 am

  Its a great car, comfortable and quite fast for a mid-category family car, excellent for weekend trips and everyday use too. The interior could be more pretty, especially the color, but the interior is very well designed and practical. Surprisingly good sound system as it comes from the factory.

  The reasonable car - 1996 Mitsubishi Galant
  By planotx - August 28 - 10:00 am

  All I have to say about this car that its the perfect combination of every use for you money. It is fast enough, comfortable enough, not too expensive to take care of, fun enough and still not too out of fashion.

  RELIABLE - 1996 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Mitsu - May 14 - 10:00 am

  The best thing about this car is its reliability. Overall I have been happy with since Ive had it almost seven years and I feel as though its been good to me. This is a pretty simple car that gets the job done and doesnt give you any problems, which is all I was looking for.
