2000 Mitsubishi Galant LE V6 review from North America
"An OUTSTANDING car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The CD player died at around 70,000 miles. I have read that this is somewhat common with the Infinity stereos. Other than that, nothing yet (knocking on wood).
General comments?
I am very impressed with this car. Originally I was looking at the Accord, Millenia, and Camry, but the prices were too high for the mileage I was seeking. I found this car, and have been delighted with my buy so far.
The V-6 is great! Decent acceleration off the line, but very good if you floor it in 3rd gear and up.
Handling is pretty good for a 4-door that weighs almost two tons.
Gas mileage is good. The manual says to use premium, but I have had no trouble using a slightly lower octane (mid-grade).
Average noise when driving.
The cabin is very nice, even the faux-wood looks decent. Seats are comfortable.
The car heats up very quickly in the winter, which is nice.
Braking is solid.
Trunk is pretty big too.
All of this for $8300 (USD) with 60,000 miles!
