Rosemary S

Great safe and reliable car.

This is a safe reliable car, we have had it for 2012. It runs great and have had mechanical problems with this car. This is my daily driver that I drive and it gets through the snow and all weather temperatures. This car gets great highway miles and have driven it on trips.

Lynne T

Comfortable car, not many issues.

The trunk is a good size, but the back seat has a small amount of room for legs & feet. There is an evap. Leak in the gas tank, where the neck I Cannot find a replacement since they're not made anymore. Does not have a light on the dashboard for low windshield washer fluid. You do not know when it is low.

I LOVE MY CAR

Best car I've ever owned!! Great on gas comfortable for long trips. Peppy. But you have to keep up on the maintenance then it will be a good car and last a long time. Mine is in excellent shape bought it used at a car lot 2 yrs ago runs and looks great

Elizabeth R

Great gas mileage and smooth driving.

I absolutely love my car and i have since day one I haven't had a single issue with the car specifically. It gets me wherever I need to go daily and has decent gas mileage.

Haley K

Great car wish it had more features.

I haven't had any problems mechanically out of my car. I absolutely love it. The only problem I have had with it is the interior door panel will not stay attached to the frame. It is an automatic I really wish it had Bluetooth and a sunroof but Does not. It is a very good car though and get great gas mileage.

Felecia C

Very low mileage for the year of the car.

Haven't had any major problems with it. I get regular oil changes and any maintenance that needs to be done.

JAMIE H

It has a lot of life expectancy which makes it really reliable.

My vehicle is reliable. Teh seats are bucket seats, which I am ok with, but preferable. It is easy to maintain. My car has great mileage.

Linda C

The most interesting detail is that it look similar to other expensive cars.

Runs out of gas quickly and needs the unlock buttons in case keys are left in car. Also it needs a automatic voice box saying alert you left keys on dashboard or under the seat or repeat where you left keys before you close all doors. Moreover these cars should have a iPod and mp3 player and flash drive port because CDs are basically outdated.

Negative Owner Reviews

Brenda H

Perfect for a teen for distracted driving

It is a very basic economy car. It is cheaply made. There are no modern features. Gas mileage is about 30 Hwy/25-city. The engine runs loud and the original engine failed at 130,000 miles. It now has a used engine. I expected better from a foreign car.

Rush G

It should be reliable, gives good mileage and should be covered by warranty for 50K plus miles

Transmission issues. And other electrical issues Moonroof would leak water Also had lots of driving issues

Kylesha R

Not the worst, not the best.

It is a good car. Just older than what’d I like right now. It is a four door which is nice and I love the sunroof and backup camera. In terms of esthetics, I love that is white but it is such a long sedan which I do not like. I also prefer vehicles with leather seats which this one does not have. But hey, it is gets me where I am going.

2011 white Mitsubishi Galant.

The car just seems like it is falling apart. Both side mirrors have broke. On their own. The air conditioning is great, the heater is great. The inside door panels are poorly put together so they come apart easily. The driver window shattered, (for no reason) ( or no fault of my own). The car just seems like it is dying.

Taquari C

This car is a good starter car for any first time drivers.

The main problem I have with it is that the car struggles with going up hills and mountains and I live in California. The some of features in the car are basic, it does not have an aux input, cannot close the air vents, and the seat adjustments are manual.

Krist Z

Slower heater during cold winter.

Not sure if is the heaters problem or something else but it takes a lot to warm the car in the morning when it is freezing. At the beginning the air is cold even if heater is on hot. Plus even in max it feels like it has no power to warm more. For others is more than ok.

Talia B

Piece of plastic not worth it

Basic model is really basic. Other than power windows everything else must be done by hand, like turning side mirror. Will not withstand the smallest wreck.

Isabella M

This is a car that is simple and great.

The car performs very well and it is comfortable. It has a lot of space in the back and I like how it is set up in the front. The only thing is the front of the car is very long and it's hard sometimes to see if you are short like me, other than that I like the car and it works well and gas lasts a good amount of time.

Family safe. Really comfortable.

It drives really well. It is easy to fix when it breaks. It is comfortable. I also like that I can switch between manual and stick. There is enough room for the children and our groceries. I love that all my friends are comfortable when riding with me and my man in the car.

Cons from Owners

Laurie G.

I would have to say it has some problems with the fuses under the hood and I have replaced it 3 times. I also replaced the transmission and motor. But all in all it's a great car. Just keep up with the maintenance.

Is The 2011 Mitsubishi Galant A Good Car?

Yes, it is a great vehicle, but the only disadvantage is the cloth seats, if the car had leather seats, then it would be even better.

Mo V.

My Mitsubishi galant gets me where I need to go. I would say it is a decent vehicle, but terrible on gas mileage.

Bridgette D.

How Reliable Is The 2011 Mitsubishi Galant?

It really do not have any problems, but I also wish it had an updated stereo system. Because you need a transmitter to play your own music, instead of the radio having a USB port.

Mo V.

I have had no problems out of this vehicle. The engine makes no noise. Everything functions properly. It is very well made and reliable.

Bridgette D.

Is The 2011 Mitsubishi Galant A Good Value?

Yes, it is great value because Mitsubishi is a well known car brand, some people still buy it today as well as back then.

Mo V.

My galant cost 9995... It has been a good value since the car has had no major issues other than normal wear and tear (tires..Etc). I would recommend.
