An amazing family car for an amazing family.
Very reliable and comfortable. Has Bluetooth radio installed. Transmission and engine are good. Has great pick up speed. Love the look of the body. Seats are extremely comfortable. Great gas mileage. Cruise control is great. Gas pedal is easy to press and so is the break.

The Most Resilient Car You'll Ever Own.
My car is so reliable and resilient!! I have been in an accident with it. Had to replace a few parts. But for the most part she can still make the travel of 4 states.

It is very reliable even if it isn't much to look at.
It is an older car that still runs very well. It is not much to look at but is very reliable. It has a lot of miles but we keep up on the maintenance and I hope it still runs for several years.

My car is a silver beauty, . It has nice lines and comes with a quick v6 engine.
Oil issues, car keeps turning up with oil leaks always has issues when it is cold outside. It idles funny and burns through gas more than a car that small should. Also has a really bad exhaust leak, and sometimes smokes comes through the ac vents.

If it was not maintained properly you will have a lot of maintenance down the road.
The alternator goes bad every year & it leaks oil. Only good things are the cold a/c & the radio work
accountCircle Alicia T
It is great on gas and rides smooth.
Older model so does not have all of the abilities a newer car would carry. However, I like the idea that because its older I do not have car payments.
accountCircle Victoria S
My car is not reliable. But it's pretty good on mileage
I like the size of the car and the familiarity of it. I also like how quickly it heats up. But it barely runs now and it's terrible
accountCircle Tara R
Best galant in my life. Love it.
I have had hardly any issues with my galant. Other than basic maintenance, I had to replace my alternator. It is very comfortable to drive and performs like a dream. Would definitely recommend purchasing one. I know I will be looking into upgrading to a new model when the time comes for me to trade my current vehicle in.

The Mitsubishi Galant is an economical vehicle to run, and cheap to purchase/maintain.
It is economical to drive. It was cheap to purchase used. The motor mounts could have been stronger.

My 2001 pearl Mitsubishi Galant.
My 2001 Mitsubishi Galant has been a reliable car during the years that I have owned it. I had a few things done on it, but for the most part it has been very reliable, pretty good on gas and I have no major complaints.
accountCircle Jessica S
It's a good color and runs.
It has nice rims. It's good on gas and good mileage. It's a good first car and gets me to my places and work. I like its color and its a comfort car. Needs a paint job but its fine. This is my first car bought with my own money. I like that its good and cheap on gas.
