  Satisfied Buyer - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By Baltimore Buyer - December 14 - 5:56 pm

  I am VERY pleased with the handling and how smooth the car is. Lots of space on the front seat (I am 602") and the truck. Very comfortable and luxury interior. Little space on the back seats (I think this was corrected in the new Gallant). The engine has very good power for a V4 and such a big car. Both a/c and heater do a perfect job. The only serious problem is the poor gas economy. The car makes 24 m/g (average city/hwy), while my old Sentra with 160K miles regularly got me 30 m/g.

  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

  Not bad so far - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  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.

  Excellent vehicle for the money - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By j.campbell - June 6 - 12:36 pm

  For the money, the vehicle is better than a Honda or other comparable vehicles. I will gladly purchase another one in the near future. The one secret that the public is not aware of is its reliability.

  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.).

  Almost Bulletproof - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By du8y4 - April 10 - 12:41 am

  I bought my 2003 Galant 2.4ES in 2005 with 54,000 miles on it for $8900 because it was all I could afford at the time and Im anti-Honda. Good gas mileage, snappy for a 4cyl. After delivering Pizzas full time for several years and going on multiple trips to Yellowstone, it now has 235,000 on it. The only thing major was replacing the timing belt at just over 200,000. I will say also that it can get up the the 120mph that the speedometer says itll go. (it just takes a while)

  Regret My Quick Decision to Buy - 2003 Mitsubishi Galant
  By LisaD2003 - March 1 - 9:56 pm

  I bought my 2003 Mitsubishi Galant ES used in August 2003 with approx 30,000 miles on it. It seemed like a good deal at the time, but I was never truly excited about the car. Lots of little things have gone wrong over the past year and a half. The most annoying problem has been squeaky brakes...the car has been in to the dealer at least 5 times for very loud squeaky brakes, and it still isnt totally fixed. The design of the car is boring, inside and out. It cant get out of its own way on the highway. Once youre up to speed its okay, but forget accelearting quickly to pass. Im currently in the market for a new car, and it definitely will not be a Mitsubishi!
