2000 Mitsubishi Galant Reviews - Page 3 of 4

Brakes start to judder every 30,000 miles needing disc skimming. Known defect but not expensive. Nothing else in over 3 years.

I bought the car from new after having owned a BMW 740 which was far too expensive to run (servicing and parts) and unreliable. Prior to that I have owned Mercedes 230E and a Lexus LS 400. Pound for pound I regard the Galant V6 estate the best car I have ever owned.

It is very comfortable, fast, economical (routine servicing £100 - £150), extremely reliable, and a joy to drive.

I achieve over 30 mpg on long runs and overall it gives me 27 mpg.

This is the top of the range model which has leather, climate control, heated seats, an enormous sunshine roof etc.

The tiptronic auto gearbox is excellent combining the benefits of both a manual and automatic shifting.

It does roll a bit on corners, but the ride is very gentle on the straight. Not everyones taste, but I prefer it.

It depreciates in value very quickly so second hand cars are remarkable value.

Nothing Really, only a little noise in the wheels when they are cold, that's it!

This car has the most bang for the buck.

Reliability and cost are great.

No problems at all.

Rear brake rotors began to warp at 50,000 miles.

Rusting of the weld joints under the hood began after 12 months (the car is used in the winter where roads are salted)

No other problems other than scheduled maintenance.

The car has been trouble free as a daily driver. It is driven 35,000 miles a year, mostly highway.

Total dollars in maintenance for three years (102,000 miles) including brakes and one set of tires is about $1200.00. The car has never been returned for warranty work.

Seats become slightly uncomfortable after an hour. But the overall ride is smooth, even at 70 MPH.

The interior quality is good, with only a minor rattle from the glove box door lock that is annoying when traveling over rough pavement.

The exterior finish is excellent with the only detraction being the weld seems in the engine compartment rusting (as mentioned above).

Radio and CD player is adequate.

Engine power is sufficient and the transmisson is excellent. It shifts precisely and makes the most of the engine's power.

The car performs well during winter driving situatons.

The rear passenger compartment is roomy enough for two adults.

Heating and air conditioning is more than adequate.

Nothing at all.

I think this was the best investment I have made. I love this car. The power for a 4-cylinder is incredible. I raced a 1992 Firebird and beat him at 110 mph. WOW and this is a family car what power. This is deffinately like a 4 door Eclipse. Unfortunately I had someone come into my lane and slam into me so my baby is now getting fixed. But I cannot say anything bad about this car. It is an absolutely gorgous looking car too. I have to say that Mitsubishi did an excellent job with this car. I only wish I had leather interior and and it would just have it all.
