  My best car yet! - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Shizzleman - December 1 - 1:30 pm

  I have had my Galant for 2yrs and I love it. I have not had many problems. The only problem I faced was when the heating coil got clogged and that cost about $600 to replace. Other than that the mechanics say my car is flawless. I do my regular oil changes and get maintenance and the car does the rest.

  Good choice! - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By sailor86 - October 7 - 7:13 pm

  This was not the first car I checked out but I have no doubt in my mind that I selected the best car for the money. It starts up every time (after changing the battery cables), runs great, keeps up on the highway without wobbling or trembling. It is actually a better ride than my mothers Taurus. All accessories work. Im nothing but satisfied with this car. After checking out other models in its price class, I was much impressed with the materials and workmanship of the interior. I am well pleased with the driving experience this car affords me. Nothing but joy every time I start up the engine.

  Mine has 260,000 miles still going(4cyl) - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By colton_f - July 21 - 12:59 pm

  I felt a need to post a review on this car considering how good it has been to me. I bought my 2002 Mitsubishi Galant ES new at Rice Mitsubishi. Now it has 260,000 miles and still runs strong and looks great. Everything works. The only problem Ive ever had with the car is I had to replace one of the headlights. I can say with confidence that this car is just as reliable as any Honda or Toyota,as long as, you change the timing belt every 60,000 miles which is routine for all Mitsubishis.(This will run you around $600) Besides that this car had caused me NO inconveniences. My Galant with 260k can still reach 100mph and still has pretty impressive acceleration and is praised for its handling.

  Buy Used - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By edbeng - May 24 - 2:00 am

  Purchased the car for $5900 with only 40k miles - ran a carfax(ok) - car runs and drives great. The resale value on these cars are low so purchase it used and you can get a good deal - look around -- I checked out the car completely and it is in great shape. This is the best value in a used car.

  Loved the 99, Love the 02 - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Crockett Actuary - March 5 - 2:00 am

  Excellent performance, especially acceleration from a stop and for passing. Very quiet for a car this size. Only drawback is interior room. Headroom is acceptable but could be better (Im 64"), and backseat room is fine for kids only

  Good Car! - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By jmac - July 28 - 11:00 pm

  I have had this car for almost a year now. I really like it so far! I havent had any problems with it. My only complaint is that the back seat does not have very much leg room, as I am 6 1", so my passengers sometimes feel cramped in the back, especially if its a long drive. I love the features mine has (see below). It has been a very reliable car so far and seems very safe. If youre looking for a Galant, I would definitely buy an LS or LTZ, the DS and ES just seem very cheaply made in comparison to my LS. Just remember, you get what you pay for. If you buy a cheap car, then youll have some problems. I see a lot of people mad about their Galant purchase on here, but mine is great!

  NO BRAKES - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By used car blues - July 12 - 10:00 am

  this car is OK. bought it at 1 year old for 11,000 so i have not lost 10 grand in the first year. biggest problem is the brakes, the rotors have been warped by "my driving" 3 times in 20 thousand miles. my accord never had this problem in 120 thousand miles.i guess the car is ok if you buy it used, new for 20k ouch! next time i will go back to honda.

  Kickin - 2002 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Ralliart - June 14 - 10:00 am

  I love my Galant VR-4. Its a blast to see the looks on the drivers that you can keep up with driving their IS 300, 3.2CL type S, Camaro Z28, etc while shifting with a automatic transmission. Plus Ive got 4WD.
