2003 Mitsubishi Galant ES review from North America

Front right tire went flat two days after car was brought home, and dealer claimed to have put new tires on less than a month ago.

Windshield wipers quit going working when they were put on full-speed, but was fixed under warranty.

Good looking sedan, roomy, comfortable, reasonably fun to drive.

The 2.4 Liter engine has quite a bit of torque for a four cylinder, and after a few minor modifications (air intake, exhaust, Emissions Control Unit) the car can take quite a few stock and modified cars on the street.

The car handles really good for a midsize sedan, almost sports car like.

Enjoyable car to drive, complements are common, especially after the addition of a mesh-grille (I hated the inserts in-between the lights and the Mitsubishi logo so I opted for a mesh replacement), eurolights, exhaust, ground lighting, and Motegi 18" rims.

The interior is well-appointed, the seats are comfortable and quite supportive, the dashboard has a solid feel and looks good, and the stock stereo is amazing, several people have complemented my "sub-woofers" when I didn't even have any.

Gas mileage is pretty good for the cars acceleration and driving, I average about 26.5 mpg in a mix of city and country/freeway driving.

All in all I am happy with my Galant. I still miss my old car (1995 Pontiac Trans Am GTA) but Galant is a more practical and reasonable choice, and I guess that's what I need right now.
