I bought this car because it looked amazing on the outside & test drove it once & fell in love. two weeks into my loan my car was going down hill from there. tune ups, alignments, Y Pipe had a hole in it. car was shaking really bad when the AC is on, shakes while stepping on the brake, the only time it did not shake was when it was in park. the worst car ever its a true RIP OFF. My door got stuck & I couldn't get out. I had to kick it out, and the whole panel came off. The dealer said its unfixable I have to get a whole new door. I hate this car

Piece of junk!!!

I purchased my 2004 galant used in 2007. It was a fantastic car until 2010. We have changed both converters 3 times & o2 sensors once. Also hsve had to have a new starter & a new altenater put on. Not to mention the AC doesn't work anymore either. Going to fix it & get rid of it. Will NEVER own a Mitsubishi again!!!!

Worst car I have owned. Lets see: - A/c condenser went out - 2 window motor/regulators replaced. - Check engine light multiple times. for one, needed spark plugs, tuning etc - check engine P0401 gas cap, valve replaced - timing belts recommended change at 60k. way too early it seems imho - need new struts - power steering acts funny in rainy weather

Great Car!

I bought my Galant brand new in 2004. It's one of the very best cars I have ever owned! After 8 yrs and over 100K miles, she still runs great! The only repairs done have been one window motor, a leak in the floorboard and regular maintenance. I love this car!

I started off with a '97 Galant which I drove until 163,000 mi and spent less than $1000 on repairs for the 7 years I drove the car. I purchased the 2004 Galant as a dealer car. It had 12,000 miles on it. This car has had 1 problem w/AC condenser around 80,000 mi and it cost us $800 to repair. I've never waited for parts. At 130,000 mi we had the timing belt replaced and while engine was apart we had oil pump and seals replaced as preventive main. It cost us $900. We have 210,000 on the car now and it's going strong. We would buy another with no questions. This is a wonderful car to drive and roomy. We average 30MPG on trips. Oil changes are easy DIY. Buy new/used with confidence.

I like the way it drives and it's strong as can be for a non-turbo 4 cyl, but pray to God for guidance if you need to do much more than change the oil or air filter. This is my 2nd Mitzu and my last ever. Parts are hard to come by and expensive! My wife got it in 2009 and in 2011 before 80,000 miles it needed a head gasket, 2 struts and plates, front axle and two 02 sensors. Parts only avalible from Mitsubishi on all but the 02 sensors. Fortunately my mechanic works at a junk yard by day and stripped the heck out of a wreck and we were able to get about $2,000 in parts for about $500.

Worst Car Experience in my life!

I bought the 2004 Galant six years ago and have had nothing but costly issues with this car. For one, the parts are usually very expensive and most shops will not have them on hand. For special parts you have to order them from Japan and can only order on Tue and Thursdays and it takes about a week to get them in. The major issue of all the issues I have had is with the brakes. Have had 5 brake jobs in the last year and a half. Have had the belt break, the power steering pump go out, had to get the alignment done several times and now I am having an issue either shocks are blown or sway bar link needs replacement. The car looks nice, but it has been a NIGHTMARE!!

Wish I'd chosen another car

I just got my Mitsubishi Galant 2 months ago (used) and thank God I got the extended warranty with it! I just took it in to dealership last Tuesday and the ABS sensors weren't showing on the dash. They ran into needing more parts and I don't expect it back until end of this week (almost a two week repair!). Thank God for the courtesy car I am able to use. I sure hope this isn't a sign of things to come with this car. I loved it at first but this isn't good two months into a loan! I hope to trade it in as soon as that opportunity comes up. It wasn't great in the snow so I bought two snow tires for the front which did make a difference. The dealership has been helpful I must say.

This is my 1st Mitsubishi. It's a nice car, decent and I enjoy driving it. I've had A/C problems way too much and the back seating is kind of tight. I would recommend this car for a 1st timer, or a commuter car, poor gas mileage, although I do like this car, I will not be buying another one nor will I be buying any other Mitsubishi.

I owned this car for a 5.5 years. The car got 5 years factory warranty. During the 5 years I've got broken the alarm button, A/C and oxygen sensor. Dealership has fixed that for no cost to me. After 5 years I've got broken the second oxygen sensor and two rear windows. It was unexpected to me and I decided to get rid of the car.

"LEMON" is an understatement!

We purchased our Galant in 2006. The look of it really appealed to us. We loved it at first, but things went downhill. We have had squeaky brakes since we got it, the mechanics on the rear driver side window broke causing the glass to fall into the door, and our air conditioner has broken SIX times! We live in the desert so to go without air is NOT an option. We have put more money into fixing the air than our car is even worth. We paid way too much for it and the value decreased too much too fast. We hate it so much but are stuck with it! We have met 3 people with the same year and all 3 have had the same exact problems. I would never buy one again and I was very disappointed.

Solid Choice

The Galant is a fun, competent, reliable ride to the Accord and Camry, plus less expensive. I bought my 2004 Galant in November of 2008 and have not had any issues since, other than regular maintenance (brakes, oil, tires, etc). It has all the bells & whistles u can get on used car for less - sunroof, leather seats, seat warmers, etc. Max Madsen also has great service coupons as well as great service! If you can't have your dream car (Honda, Acura), go with the Galant.

My Galant has had issues for the last 2 years. I bought it brand new in 2004, and was pleased until recently. My blower on the air conditioner/heater has stopped working and my engine light has come on because there is a vacuum leak related to the gas line. My husband has a 2004 Endeavor, and its transmission has gone out. We will never buy anything from Mitsubishi again, and we would really like to send them back since we still owe on both of them and they are worth nothing to us. I am now driving a 1980 Oldsmobile that is more reliable than both of our Mitsubishi's!!!!

I bought a 2004 Mitsubishi Galant ES in July 2009 from a Mitsubishi Dealership (Schaumburg, IL). I had a fantastic experience with the dealer by the way. The car was at 45k miles and 1-owner when I purchased. Good used-car bargain. Came with great features including powered sunroof, infinity audio system, 17" alloy wheels and leather strapped steering wheel. Excellent control and driving performance. Low on the mileage (I get around 22 mpg city and highway mix). Haven't used in snow yet... hopefully it will drive well. Love the exterior and the looks.

I have had my Galant for 5 years now (bought it new from the dealer) and I am STILL getting compliments on it! I had a co-worker recently remark on the blue lights in the dash and how cool they were, and another one comment on the color and how sporty it looked. I still love the pick up with this car. Very reliable car. They only issue I have had with it so far are the brakes, but I just chalk that up to regular maintenance issues (I had to replace them after 35,000 miles). This car is great in ice, snow and heavy rains along with nice, sunny days!

Love the car, except for a few issues. Had to do the brakes a few times, the tail lights and head lights constantly need to be replaced, car has a horrible blind spot and my sun roof stinks!!!!!! Every single time you open it the headliner pops out of the trim. And when I took it into the dealer I was told that they are aware of the problem but they don't know how to fix it!

I bought my Galant brand new in 2004. I've had more problems with my car than any other car I've ever had. Within the first 6 months, my horn stopped working which is pretty dangerous if I needed it to prevent an accident. I had squeaky breaks for months and paid over $900 to fix the problem. After replacing them twice and they still squeaked I ended up having to buy ceramic brake pads and that stopped the squeaking but I had to get management involved to even fix the problem. My headlights go out often! I've just been very disappointed with this car. I'm trying to keep it until it falls apart because the value has decreased too much.

I just bought my '04 Galant a week ago and i have just got to say how amazing it is. The ride is quiet and smooth. the engine is very powerful at 230 horses and makes everyday driving a joy. the exterior is a head turner. i really couldn't ask for more. I just got out of a '97 Cherokee with 203k on it and had nothing but problems. Though the interior could have used a few updates, i really can't complain, the overall ride is great.To anyone in the market for a new car, really consider a look at this car. drives awesome for not a lot of dough.

Mostly quite pleased.

Have only had the car a few days, but here's my contribution. It's a gorgeous looking car, smooth ride and super quiet, hardly any road noise. Daytime running lights a nice touch. Soft, comfortable seats. I usually prefer leather but the cloth seems updated and luxurious. Very impressive stock stereo, blew my 2001 Mitsu Eclipse's stereo out of the water. Bass you can feel in your chest. Unfortunately, the plastic cover over the mirror on the sun visor snapped off with barely any force, I simply flipped it up and it came off in my hands, rather disappointing. A very mature, classy, and still young looking car for a professional 21 year old woman. Overall, very pleased with the car.

Have been very disappointed. Mileage is poor, 21 mpg city, 26-28 highway, even after K&N filter and Mobil 1 oil, must use 89+ gas. Ride is very choppy, there is no give in rear end. The brakes, I almost forgot, brakes stopped working when temp. dropped below freezing! Had to have master cylinder replaced. On the plus side, there is plenty of room for 4 adults. Thye dash is great at nite.

This is the third Mitsubishi Galant that I have purchased; the first was used, the second I leased and then purchased and the third I purchased. Each vehicle performed beautifully! The first was involved in a serious accident and was demolished but the driver (my mother) survived! The second I sold to a friend w/over $100,000 miles on it ~ she still has it! The third my husband purchased because he wanted me to have a vehicle with a good warranty, etc. The only complaint I have are the brakes. Each car needed new brakes at about 35,000 miles...but that's my ONLY complaint! If you're in the market for a great-looking car that's comfy, fun-to-drive & good on gas, check out the Galant GTS!!

I've owned this car for 2 1/2 years and it still handles and rides great, and is as much fun to drive today as the day I got it. Its acceleration is great and it has lots of power. I love to hear the sound of the engine. It has great interior and trunk space. I enjoy the pass through into the trunk which makes it safe to slide my purse and packages into without being seen. An additional safety feature is the illuminated release inside the trunk, which really works. People still stare at it and ask "What kind of car is that?" I smile when I tell them is's a Galant. It's an excellent car! My son enjoys it as much as I do.

We almost bought an '02 Altima SL before we saw the Galant. I am really glad that we didn't get the Altima. The Galant is so much better in so many ways. That and the dealership was better. I like what it comes with for the money. Although we purchased ours used, we don't get the 10 yr/100,000 mile warranty. Oh well, not really a big deal.

This car is a Mitsubishi. It is known widely as one of best if not finest producer of quality cars. I like it because of its sporty design on the inside and the outside even if this car is clasified as a family mid-size sedan. The 2004 model has a spacious backseat. It is fast, one can feel the push back in the seat when you accelerate.

The Mitsubishi Galant is not as great of a car as I thought. Its brakes have been a constant problem since 12,000 miles. It has 29,000 miles now. The brakes squeak 70% percent of the time. The dealer says there is nothing wrong and that's normal. I had the brakes replaced after 25,000 miles and they still squeak. Also, the interior rattles. My car doesn't even always start the first time. The sunroof scrapes when it's closing. It doesn't have good pick up when trying to go from 60 to 80. It takes a few seconds to actually pick the speed up when doing that. Mitsubishi dealer service is terrible. The hubcaps get dirty quickly

I have owned my Mitsubishi Galant for about twenty months now. It is a great car, yery fast with excellent handling. However, I am not as happy with the ride at highway speeds. The car tends to jump around with the road surface. It does not feel well planted. Other than that everything else is wonderful. I especially like the 280 watt Infinity sound system. The car is also a head turner with its agressive looks. Other people, especially those driving the Pontiac Grand Prix, always want to race. It's hard to beat 0 to 60 in 6.5 sec.

I have never had a car that has gone a whole year without a single problem, like my Mitsubishi Galant. I also have never put 30,000 miles on a car in a single year. This car has taken a beating and not once has it complained. I bought this car used reading 9,000 miles for only $15,000. It now has 40,000 miles on it. I also have one word of advice to all the people that write reviews on here, don't write a negative comment if you are the one who doesn't maintain your car properly!

My 2004 Mitsubishi Galant has a very roomy back seat area, but the front head room could be a little higher. Also, the steering wheel tilt could have a little more range. Overall, this car's driving comfort is great. The road noise is a little loud, but overall it is a very good driving car.

I didn't buy the 2004 Mitsubishi Galant, mine was just a long-term rental while my car was recovering from an accident and waiting for parts, etc. It is a nice car, but the seats don't have much for lumbar support, even the driver's seat. There is plenty of legroom though (I'm 6'2") and the power was nice. I was disappointed that my 1996 Saturn SL2 gets a whopping 10+ more MPG than this newer sedan. I wouldn't buy it for that reason alone. It only churned out 17-20 MPG depending on my ratio of city / highway driving.

The GTS turns heads every where I go, I would not trade the GTS for anything else out there at this time. This has to be one of the best decisions I've made when buying a new car. It gives me the power as well as handling I want. Once you drive it you won't want anything else.

I have found the comparison of amenities to car price for the GTS to be the best out of sedans. However, I have been plagued by problems since I purchased it. I only hope Mitsubishi can fix them since the car is great all- around.

Huge Step Up From 2000 to 2004 Galant

I always liked my 2000 Galant but after driving the 2004 model I feel like I've moved up from a small economy sedan to a very well appointed and substantial mid-size sedan. I bought my 2000 Galant in part based on its very sharp looking body lines. The 2004 model is not quite as unique as the 2000, but much more exciting than the generic body styles of the Camry, Accord, and 626s. The Altima also seems to be the exception to the body blues. Where the 2004 Galant really seperates itself from the 2000 model and the rest of the pack is in its absolutely gorgeous interior. The car rides, tracks and steers nicely. It has very good visability, comfortable seats and is EXTREMELY FAST!

You'll have a grin on your face and people will wonder why... I bought a new 2004 Galant LS (MSRP $21,992) for less than a Corolla or Civic, I recieved Customer/Loyalty rebates of $5,000 plus another $2,200 from the dealer delivered LS for $14,800. ReSale is a non-issue now. It's not a boring ride, it's fast, handles well in corners. It loves snow and mountain roads. It has an attitude lurking under that mild mannered exterior. Gets good mileage (23+) and not a penny from me for maintanence (Free!). Pearl red paint is Candy apple in the sun. For giggles just place your right foot all the way down transforming your Ho Hum commute into an amusement park ride. Wheee!

Best sedan ever manufactured!

This being my second Galant in 3 years should be enough to prove their impact on me personally. I'll keep this short and sweet. The new designed body style keeps the same Galant that we have all grown to love! I tried an 04 Accord, and compared to my Galant, it stunk.

Happy so far

I have a 4-cylinder Mitsubishi Galant ES. It has plenty of power. This car is much bigger than you think. I was considering the Chevrolet Malibu, but the Galant is longer and wider. it is fun to drive and is very cool looking. I knew the gas mileage wasn't the best but it is a big 4-cylinder engine (2.4L). I have 1,000 miles on mine so far. It handles the bumps in the road very well. At 70 mph you think you are in a much bigger car. It is very smooth.

Great!

I owned many cars before becoming a full-time biker. I bought the 2003 Galant for my wife right before my travels took me overseas. This car makes me want to get behind the wheel again. Its styling is superb, in my opinion. It's a blast to drive. Even though I bought the basic DE model, I'm suprised with the comfort package that comes standard with the Galants... big 16" wheels and room for a growing family of four. This car is pretty good on gas too. I'd recommend this car to anyone.

I purchased my car in early September of 2004 and I love it still after 4 months of use. I drive a lot (already over 10,000 miles) and I find it very reliable. It is roomy and comfortable. I live in Houston which has the worst traffic in the country and I am impressed on how much pick up it has. I step on the gas and it takes off like a rocket. I need a car to respond given the amount of traffic I encounter daily. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a decent car, with great warranty and economic price. My mother has a 2003 Galant ES and other than that version having good pickup, there is no comparison starting with the interior room.

Car now comes with Yokahoma tires instead of Bridgestone. The Yokahomas, for some reason, provide a bouncy ride whereas the Bridgestones don't. No workmanship like Smoker's package is offered by Mitsubishi. All they offer is a cupholder insert which can't be seen at night. It also reduces the cupholders from two to one.

I've had Infiniti's and Audi's in the past, but this car beats them in overall performance and build quality (especially the piece of junk Audi). It's very quick with great handling and balance on a solid and rattle-free body and suspension. The interior is great too; I particularly like the well shaped and firm power seat, great sound system, and everything within easy reach. On top of all this, a 5 yr/50K bumper-to-bumper mile warranty with free maintenance for 3 yrs/45K miles.

This is a good looking car on the inside and out. I am impressed with the smooth and strong acceleration of the 4 cylinder in the ES model. Many friends of mine think it looks like a Cadillac CTS in the rear. I think it looks like a refined Altima. I have been very satisfied with it so far but I have only had it for 2 weeks. My mother has a 2003 Galant ES model and I really like mine better especially the roominess of it. I am nearly 5'10 and weigh 280 and my mate is 5'7 and weighs 320 and we are both very comfortable in the front and back of this car.

We've owned this car for just over a month. We absolutely love it. It's roomy, plenty of comfort for the price. We own the ES in Titanium Pearl, dark grey interior. It feels like a sports car in a family sedan. It's not too flashy, but it does turn heads. Perfect for the wife in sales and business associate, with the sporty feel that I like. It feels like a safe car.

I was able to "test drive" it for 3 days. I fell in LOVE with it. Superior handling and response. Better warranty than the Camry and better price. It is so comfortable to drive. I like the all wheel disc brakes, I KNOW I'm going to stop. It's a very classy looking car, with nice lines and a flow to it that makes you think more sporty than sedan. I drive for a living so I needed the great warrenty. The salesmen were also more willing to talk to a female than Toyota was!! That in itself was a bonus! Get with the program, Toyota... you lost a life- time customer to Mitsubishi!!

We looked at all other manufactures vehicles at this price range and were much more impressed with the Galant than the others. The Toyota was a close 2nd but they would not come off the price at all. We purchased the Diamond package and the sunroof package. The Diamond package gives a completly new look making the interior absolutely beautiful. A great sound system and stylish wheels. Head room and leg room is great for a sedan and fits our 2 child seats with no problem.

Had a lease on a 2001 Eclipse so I had to purchase another Mistu or take a big hit. Drove the Galant GTS a couple of times, great ride, acceleration, handleing, features, radio, and I also like the lcd screen. The ice blue lighting looks great at night. The car has a lot of room, I test drove a Grand Prix and the Galant is bigger or just feels like it. As you can tell I like the redesigned Galant and this is my third Mitsu. but the interior is bad, a lot of cheap materials. The sand grain rubber that covers the upper doors and dash is hard and not comfy. I sat in the Diamante, very nice inside why does Mitsu not use these materials in the Galant!!

I did a lot of research prior to purchasing my new Galant. I said that I would never buy a sedan until I saw the new Galant. The car is sporty, stylish and built like a tank. The 2.4 mivec purs like a kitten and feels like a 6 cylinder. This car is different than most grocery getter sedans. Mitsu is re- engineering their North American operations and their products are getting better and better. I would recommend this car to anyone.

I was astounded when I saw the new design of the '04 Galant GTS. Black exterior with black interior, so many "options" are standard, it's a deal waiting to happen. The ride is smooth and quiet. The Infinity sound system with 6-CD changer and EIGHT speakers...it's like a concert hall on the road. It beats Lincoln LS from bumper to bumper. The same is true with the "little" Cadillac (can't remember the letters). Don't go lower than GTS. For less than $25K after a bit of dickering, you'll love it.

We first drove the 2004 Galant as a rental car in Colorado. We were very impressed on how the 2004 Galant handled while driving in Rocky Mountain National Park. The car hugged the curves going up and coming down the mountain, very impressive. When it came time to purchase a new car the 2004 Galant was very affordable for our family budget. The V6 has power. The inside is very roomy compared to other cars in it's class. The ride is quiet and smooth. This car is great!!

The Galant is an exceptional value and a great car to drive. Pick-up on the LS Galant is terrific w/ no lag time. Handling is more like a sports car rather than a 4dr sdn.

This 2004 galant engine's makes sport car noises, different as the 2003 voitire.

Before we bought this Galant we were looking for Altimas, Hondas,etc., except Toyota as we don't believe it’s worth the money they asked for. Galant outperforms them all; it can be driven either gently or like a racehorse, accelerates very quickly, stable and reliable on the road, easy in maintenance. In other words – excellent and very reasonable buy for end user.

As a driver of Saab, Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz vehicles, i was skeptical of buying a Mitsubishi Galant as a secondary car, which i would later give to my son. However, this car has won me over. I purchased with the warranty, saftey and power specs in mind, but the automobile itself is excellent. I am impressed by the design, power and quality of the car. This car is a great alternative to the Accord, Camry or Altima, for those who think the aforementioned three are just a tad staid. This car has a sport-oriented soul, and i am pleased with my purchase.

Sure I could have gotten an Accord, Camry or Altima, but for the same money I get extra features in my Galant.

And, what a great price! If you are in the market to buy a mid- size sedan you must test drive the new Galant. Watch out for the gas mileage - you will not get 23 MPG!

Ok so I haven't had this car very long, I drove it off the showroom floor today and everyone has stopped and complimented me on this car - it is a head turner. The engine is peppy and well suited for its task. I was able to work a few dealer specials to really take a whack at the price. I got 200 gallons of gas, 3 Years of Free Schedule Maitance, $2000 Cash Back & $1000 Loyalty Bonus. It was like I robbed the place for all that is worth - I have the Kalapana Black and it is so glossy and perfect with the beige leather and birchwood trim.

I felt an immediate adrenaline rush during my first acceleration. The engine actually growled that deep throaty roar of a racing machine, my head snapped back, and my body was pressed into the seat. All this with just a 4 cylinder.2.4 liter engine. The steering was a bit stiff, but very responsive to the slightest adjustment. The ride was not cushy and was even jarring at times on roads that were not perfectly smooth. This might be objectionable to those looking only for creature comforts, but for the person looking for the exhilerating driving experience, this is one mean machine.

Great performance for a four cyl vehicle. The car just glides without any difficulty. Handles great at high speeds stops quickly and smoothly very very comfortable ride. I am very very pleased with this car and would recommend you take a hard look if you're in the market for a new car. A lot of car for the money and the warranty is an added bonus.

Aside from price, I looked at getting good gas mileage in the city. Todate, that milage is about 35% less than what was qouted. The service manager told me the car needed to be broken in before I would see better gas mileage numbers, however, he also said that my city driving would only yield about 18 MPG instead of the 23 MPG as adversited; with the explaination, that the 23 MPG qouted was an estimate. So far I'm getting a little less that 15 MPG, in my opinion, a far cry from the qouted numbers.

I am an avid fan of the Nissan Altima, my fiance has one and I had one until it was in a car accident and I had to go looking for another car. I never considered the Galant because I didn't know a lot about it, I had seen commercials all over the place about the eclipse but the galant was an afterthought. I have the V4 and when I test drove it I though I was driving a V6 and commented to the dealer that as a V6 it was a tad sluggish, they said, "no, you tested the V4", well I take it back, as a V4 its got a little bit of a zing then! I am still getting used to it and continue to be a loyal fan of Nissan, but Mitsubishi isn't far off!

I get a chance to rent different cars, this week it was this car. I like Mitsubushi, but seems like the Japanese rip-off of the Chevy Impala - minus the ugly tail lights, 50 lb doors and GM craftsmanship. Cost-cutting apparent. Good car for a spend thrift who doesn't care about looks and wants solid wheels. Probably low resale. They need to pick better materials other than the cheap/hard/sand textured plastic. Run your hand over this and then think about a three hour road trip – brutal. Need gas cap lock, unless you want your gas siphoned or bake cookies in your engine.

I have been in love with Galants since i was 13 and i told myself i was going to get a galant i am glad i waited for the new galant body style before getting the older model i would have really been unhappy but never the less i am definately a mitsubishi fan i have 2 mitsubishis before this one a mirage and galant and i will tell you what i will stay with mitsubishi as far as i am concern. I love the sportronic feature in my car it makes it a fun toy. Just word of advice if you are in the south florida area, don't get your car from Delray Mitsubishi their sales manager is really rude and don't put their customers as num.1 priority!!!

Wow, what a impressive vehicle. This is nothing like the past model. The vehicle is all new, bigger, wider, more refined. The exterior and interior styling is very modern, yet clean. There is plenty of room for five people. The new 4 cyl. engine with the Valve timing system provides 6 cylinder performance with 4 cyl. economy. I had been to many dealers in the S. Florida area, I finally bought at Phil Smith Mitsu. Could not have been happier with the deal, the service and the way I was treated.

I chose the Mitsubishi Galant over the Honda Civic and I'm so glad I did. Even tho it is a 4 cl it drives like a 6cl. It has a very large trunk space. It's very reliable, Never has given me a minutes trouble. I will always by this car in the future, thats if this one ever wears out. Oh yeah, its very good on fuel and I love the color (silver) inside and out. The audio sound is awsome.

First of all, forget everything you know or think you know about the Mitsubishi Galant. This '04 model is a totally different animal from previous models. I opted to buy the LS V6 with the Diamond Package, but the main selling point was the V6 with the Sportronic transmission. This car is very quick with suck you back in the seat acceleration. It is quite fun to drive and offers a perfect blend of quietness and road feel. I think the build quality is top notch and gives you the feel of driving a much more expensive car. Buy one! You won't be sorry.

This 2004 is my 5th Galant. This 2004 has front and rear suspension which reduces my comfortability. Every road defect is disturbingly transmitted. On 4/16/04 I drove another 2004 Galant, the bumping and jarring were not as frequent and severe as in my auto. Same day I spoke with a MItsubishi "engineer". He confirmed, 2004 is a newly designed vehicle. Is supposed to give firm, non-swaying ride. I asked if less firm and rigid shocks could be installed. "No, this is the way the car is designed and we won't make any changes in your vehicle." I have requested a visit by a Factory Rep. Martin S. Hodes

We were veering towards a camry or an accord, but good thing we stopped over a mitsubishi dealership first so my brother can get an eclipse and that's when my wife and I saw the 2004 Galant GTS dove white and we immediately fell in love with it. I enjoy the head turning on the street up to now, the unique headlight assembly combined with euro tail lights is just sweet! Standard with 17" alloy wheels. Infinity 8 spkr Audio system and blue interior lighting is really cool! 3.8 liter V6 AutoShift trans. that can take on the V6 Accord or Camry anytime! And get this, a 10yr/100,000 mile warranty comes STANDARD!

I got the chance to test drive what will now become my next car. I was blown away in the advance that Mitsu made from the 03(which my mother has) to this Galant. I drove the ES 4cyl with the diamond package. As with the previous Galant, the car will do 85 without much effort or you noticing. The interior is roomy and extremly well built. Looks from the inside to be twice to three times as expensive as it is. The Diamond Package is an amazing deal.

The Galant is safely one of the better midsize cars on the market. Despite the fact that it is not a top seller, the Mitsubishi image is very good and makes me proud to be a Galant owner. The car drives very smoothly and has alot of power. The quality is very similar to the Accord V6, so i'll say it's average for the price. The car is very roomy and gets many compliments.

This is my 4th galant since 1993. By far this is the best looking. Both in interior and exterior design. In my 10 years with a Galant, never had any problems. Good on gas, but this GTS has a 6 cylender engine, compaired to the other 4 cylinders that i owned. I don't expect to get better mileage with this baby, but she handles great and feels even better.

My wife needed to replace her 100K+ miles '94 Accord wagon so we looked at the Sonata, Accord, Camray, Altima, Maxima, Mazda 6, and a '03 Galant GTZ (loaded) While testing the GGTZ, a '04 Black LS came out of the dealers prep area. The test drive sealed the deal. I did Edmund research for several days and had the $$ I'd pay. Before I whipped out my price, the sales mngr offered $.73 over, sold. I own a 1991 Mits Galant VR4 (awd, turbo, a pre-Evo) and if it were stock, the 3.8 v6 would walk all over it. Crain Mits was very professional, no BS. Go to them if in Arkansas.

Right now I'm driving this car as a rental while my 2001 Ford Focus SE has body work done. I love this car so much that I'm not sure I'll be able to give it back to Enterprise. It handles very well and that V6 is powerful yet smooth. I was driving down the 405 freeway going over 100MPH and didn't even realize it. It felt like I was only going 65. My little Focus has nothing on this car. Well, I think my stereo is better than the one in the Galant.

I was very impressed with the new look of the Galant online, and even liked it better in person. Interior is much roomier than my 2000 Galant was, and styling, both in and out is excellent. You can actually read the gauges through the steering wheel. Trunk is large and has a passthru area for long stuff. Iwas somewhat aprehensive about the 4 cylinder, but it;s peppy on the Interstate with plenty of passing power. Ride is stiff and sporty, but this will probally soften a bit like my 2000 did.

MONEY WELL SPENT IN MY OPINION. I HAVE BEEN SHOPPING FOR A NEW CAR FOR EIGHT MONTHS LOOKING AT DIFFERENT JAPANESE IMPORT MIDSIZED SEDANS. I HAVE BEEN A HONDA FAN FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE HAD ACCORDS SINCE 1988 AND THIS GALANT IS THE BEST CAR I CAME ACROSS IN YEARS AS YOU CAN SEE I AM NO LONGER A HONDA OWNER. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE ACCORD LX V6 AND THE CAMRY AND OTHERS AND AFTER DRIVING THE GALANT WITH THE 3.8 LITRE V6 I WAS EXTREAMLY IMPRESSED WITH THE POWER AND THE HANDLING. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SPORTS SEDAN OR A DRIVERS CAR BECAUSE IT FEELS AND HANDLES LIKE A SPORTS CAR.

Have driven this car less than 1000 miles, but it is evident this is a great car for my rush hour commutes. Good ride / handling compromise with a sporty feel but not too jaring ride. The body seems to be solid as a rock. You can hear the engine when you push it, but it has a great tone. Super stereo and a decent sized trunk that is easy to access. I got a light silver exterior color that shimmers and the black interior. Great looking combination. The most important feature is a decent price for the car. At a little less than the average price car you get a Galant that is fun, confortable, and loaded with great options. Good job.

Inside, it has a very roomy, and a luxurious interior, when you go with the leather package, The trunk is preety big too, and the head room is real good, not made for ppl over 6'4 But for a normal 5'8-6'2 its perfect. And the sunroof works like a charm...Though the one thing that might disturb some is the new mitsubishi styling,the front nose piece. But if you learn to live with it, or actually like it like i do, You just got yourself a real real good car that stands out and is no match for those new accords or camry's and the altimas.

The newly redesigned 2004 Galant has moved this model up a serious notch from 2003. While searching the web for a $20,000 car, the new Galant popped up and caught my eye with its new style and much improved gas milage. We intended try the Accord, Civic Hybrid, and the Galant. After seeing the Galant, we walked across the street to the Honda dealership and found both cars to be boring and tired in appearance and performance. We returned to purchase the Galant with fun packages like a moon roof, 6 CD changer, 16" wheels, etc. and still stay in our price range. Great pick-up and smooth sailing! No irritating pings or problems either.

wow what a car

Only had it a month but what a fun fast sporty great car!!!!! The dealer I bought it from was great to work with and I thought they treated me very well. I was looking at the 2004 altima and a honda but this car blew me away.

Over the last couple of years, I can't believe the level this automaker has reached. It is now award winning with their cars and their technology and deign is amazing. I gave a couple of midsize cars a run, namely the Camry, Accord, Galant, Passat and Altima. They are all great cars and but when deciding on the car for me, it was easy to choose the Galant. The new model feels so much like a luxury car. It looks different and has impeccable quality and feels safe on the road. The car is quick, very much like the Accord but had a more sporty feel. Well done Mitsubishi, and I think you may see a record year of sales of this well thought-out Galant.

WHAT A GREAT CAR

the 04' galant is the fastest, most powerful, and best looking one that mitsubishi has made.
