2006 Mitsubishi Galant is the best car I have ever purchased!
I absolutely love my car. I love having seat warmers, it drives very smoothly, really good on gas mileage, and barely gives me any problems. The heat and air conditioning work phenomenal. I also love the fact that I can open my roof top when it is a beautiful day! It also is the perfect size for my 2 daughters and my fiancé.

The mileage on this vehicle is approximately 210, 000.
My vehicle has a few scratches (which is can be expected with this year, ) but other than that it runs great. Interior is very clean and vehicle has only had 3 owners including myself.

The most important thing I would advise is this car is very innovative and durable. It has last me a lifetime.

This car is old, but it's by far the best car I've ever owned, great gas mileage!
I absolutely love my car. It runs like a champ. I live in Arkansas and to drive from Arkansas to Alabama took me $30. I have never had any issues with my car. It's extremely comfortable and very reliable. I've went camping in my car, slept great. I've been able to fit a months worth of groceries and some furniture into my car with no issues whatsoever.

Best purchase I have ever made!
I don't have extra features but it has been reliable other than monthly maintenance. The size is that of an average sedan.

Good with miles. Runs like brand new.
I have had this vehicle passed down to me and it is been in my hands for 3 years already I drive a very far distance and it has over 100k miles on it I haven't had any problems with it and it runs like brand new. I have read up on these vehicles and saw they last for a really long time I am hoping I have a few more years with this vehicle.

A dependable car for a single gal.
I bought this Mitsubishi Galant new in December 2016 for a good price. It was the first time for this brand and I really like it. After 12 years and 110, 000 miles it is still going strong. I have only needed normal expected repairs and service so it has been an economical car. I would buy another one just like it!
accountCircle Hope S
It is a good starter car and they should bring them back the ride is smooth.
I love how spacious the car is without being too big I do not like how it is not up to date with all the new technology but it is great.

Mitsubishi Galant has up and down.
My 2006 Mitsubishi Galant air conditioner has given me many problems. Several times we have had to replace the air conditioner parts. Seems like it tears up every year. The car is good on gas. My car is a 4 cylinder. I wish it had more power when it takes off with the air/ heat is on. Besides normal wear and tear this car is very reliable. I have so far over 200,000 miles on my car. I love the tire sensors that let me know if my air pressure is low. One thing I hate is the car key. The key isn't made well it keeps breaking loose from the plastic black piece that opens/locks the door. I feel the key should go farther in the device. The seats are very comfortable. The car has a nice size trunk. Also the inside of the car has great space. It doesn't feel too closed in. I have electric windows and I love how the back seat windows go all the way down. The car also has child safety locks which is great if you have small kids. The Gallant looks like a sports car for a family. It looks great with chrome rims. L

Mitsubishi Galant is a great and reliable vehicle.
My heat isn't working but the car is running okay..my car have been with me since 2013 and I have not done any major work to my galant, except change the alternator, tires, brakes. I would recommend Mitsubishi to anyone who wants to buy one. I bought it when the mileage was 50,000 miles and it's now 167,000.. I'm very happy with the investment.

Large gas tank and gray .
Large gas tank. A lot of road noise. Rides smoothly. Nice that it has two trip odometers. Like that it has daytime running lights.
accountCircle Larry F
It get me around without costing too much for gas to keep it full
It's Grey and gets decent gas mileage. But the air conditioning doesn't work right
accountCircle Charles F
Sporty and comfy, but inexpensive and noisy.
Very noisy, not enough insulation to prevent outside noise or cold/hot. It is roomy for a small car. Mechanics are pretty good if you do the maintenance schedule. Not to expensive.
accountCircle Tae M
It is a fast car. It's an off white color. And it is somewhat reliable.
It needs over 1,000 worth of work done to it. The door is dented in. My brakes squeak when I press them.
accountCircle Nikki B
This car is reliable and I am good condition. In Florida the leather seats I could live without but the windows are tinted so that helps. This car is good if you are looking for a roomie car with a big trunk. I have had no issues with this vehicle and if kept up with maintenance do not foresee any.
