I owned a Honda Civic for 6 years and went a little over 300 miles per tank. However, I expected the Galant to cost more, given its larger engine. I'll take the higher gas costs for the comfort and the powerful engine.
If you can afford to drive a Galant, then shouldn't you be able to put gas in it? Let's move on already!
I'm about the hit the 3000 miles mark in 1 yr , hehehe .. that's little .. I'll be getting my first Oil change next weekend !
~ wish me luck LOL !! :-) ~
(http://theautoshop.com/timing.html) says 100k. I bought the car used so I don't have the manual. Does anyone know what the manual suggests? Or shall I just replace it now?
Thanks for your help.
They called me at 1:30 , so I went back around 3 to pick up my car, they did took care of the recall thing, but they said the brakes were normal.. hmm but the noice was gone .. so they must have done something but said nothing wrong.. oh well...
The service was actually very good. They are a Mitsubishi,Mazda,Oldsmobile dealer ... i'm happy once again !! (well, my bro's ticket will be like $200 dllrs)
Oh btw, it was Browning Mitsubishi down here in Southern California... Same place i bought the car 1 yr ago.
I have a 2000 Galant ES model, bought in Sept 2000, should I be getting a recall notice?
Funny you say the Galant's seats hurt. I thought the Galant's seats were so comfortable that it was one of the major selling points when compared to the Accord. I thought the Accord seats were awful! Difference in opinion I guess. Sorry that you feel that way about the Galant, but I totally understand that something like that can be so important because it was the Accord's seats that kept me going back to the Galant and eventually buying the Galant. I love my Galant and sooooo glad I chose it over all it's competitors.
Thanks for the responses. I will definitely look at the Protege! And, I agree the Accord seats are awful!
regards
I love driving the car. The Galant is definitely a move in the right direction for Mitsubishi.
the galant should run like $3000 less than the accord with their rebate ... so whatever more reliable that car is , it's not worth the extra money .... unless you really like it.
P.s does anyone think that the galant looks like a linclon LS....(for about half the price)..hahah
Yeah! Kind'a...
They both look kind'a like an old bimmer. Galant looks like 3 series and Lincoln like 5 series. As far as the reliability goes Galant and BMW both suck. As for Lincoln - I dunno. I never had it. Go look at all the posts boxxer, not just mine. You'll see that people have problems with:
1. Noises, rattles, squeaks & etc.
2. Brake rotor warpage - Galant and Diamante are both prone for their poor brakes.
3. Electrical problems. And we thought that Mitsubishi was also an electronics manufacturer. Surprise! This company builds the following products:
1. Airplanes that don't fly.
2. Tanks that are unusable for any military operations.
3. Cars that constantly break down.
It's also a part of Mitsubishi corporate culture to lie to their clients and/or governments of the countries where they sell their products. Instead of supporting their products they try to screw you over and cover their own [non-permissible content removed].
For example : is the extra $3000 for a bland looking car that everyone and their dog drives worth the little less discomfort that you may (if unlucky) encounter on the Galant?
Les say the accord : My cousin and I bought our cars the same week .. his 00 accord already developped rattles , mines hasn't. But my other cousin 98 accord haven't had any problems since he got it 3 yrs ago.
My other cousin Camry has also proved to be a really good car ..
The Galant has to prove itself over long time before it can develop trust...
Like I said before the best way is to visit all the forums of cars you have in mind, and you'll see that on any single car, there will always be a complain ...
bottom line: save yourself the extra $3000
Dont what to bust anyones bubble IMO opion the altima is a better, more polished car that love to go fast.
