1990 Mitsubishi Galant review from North America
"A reliable piece of transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the front CV joints when I first got the car from a used car dealer. Went to Pep Boys so they are under lifetime guarantee.
Had to replace the rear axle for $600 after 1-2 years of owning it.
It has started leaking motor oil in the last two years, but it's not a major problem. Oil is cheap compared to other things.
General comments?
Car has never let me down.
Good on gas. I commute about 1 hour daily 5x/weekly and I get about 33 miles to the gallon.
I bought the car thinking I'd only need it for 2 years, but it's lasted 5 already.
For a 4-cylinder, it has some pep to it.
I'm 6'2" and fit comfortably in the driver's seat.
