My vehicle is a white 2003 Mitsubishi Galant 4DSD that I bought from a police auction in Deer Valley, Az. This is the second vehicle I had bought from them at a reasonable price. It is very excellent on gas which takes only $20 to fill up gas tank which is very good since I do travel a lot daily. It has no major problems and has been running good for almost a year now. It is an excellent vehicle to have been bought from a public auction not knowing if the vehicle was going to run well or last a while before breaking down.
Story
I can say what is memorable using this vehicle in my location is that when I picked up my kids from school in the vehicle. They were so amazed and shocked and loved the vehicle. I now teach my daughter how to drive in this vehicle as well.
Pros
The positive things about this vehicle is that it runs very well and that it was very affordable. This vehicle is excellent on gas which is a huge positive sign for me since I travel a lot. I like that it is an automatic, and I like the stick that is in the middle of the car instead of by the steering wheel. Every car I have had has always had the stick in the middle. I like the fact that the windows are automatic, and the window wipers have the wiper fluid to clean the windows. Most used vehicles are out of the fluid to clean the windows. I like the fact that the vehicle came with a spare... (more)
Cons
The thing that I do not like about the vehicle is that the A/C does not work which in turn I found out that it needs an A/C Compressor. It is hot in Arizona, and A/C is a necessity. I do not like the fact that the water in the radiator does not circulate or go down, so that is a major problem. I do not like the fact that when I bought the vehicle, it had a factory radio which did not work so no music -- which I immediately bought a system for the vehicle. I do not like the fact that it makes a screeching sound when you start the vehicle which has made that sound since I bought it.

2003 Mitsubishi Galant - I might cry the day I put this car to rest.

I bought my Mitsubishi Galant in 2004 while I was on leave after basic training. I didn't want to go to my duty station without a vehicle and this car was exactly what I was looking for. I drove the 2,000 mile round trip from Missouri to North Carolina three times in the next five months and I never had any problems with it. It got great gas mileage and it handled the mountains like a champ! It now has 150,000 miles on it and there have been no major problems with it.
Story
I'm from a rural area so my friends and I used to do a lot of road tripping. We'd put on a good driving CD and head out to the country roads to take in the scenery and maybe get into some trouble along the way. We'd always take my car because it was the only one among us that didn't break down all the time. We never had any problems on the gravel roads and it always handled great on the curvy ... (more)
Pros
I have never had a problem with the heater or air conditioner! I have never heard of a vehicle going eleven years without an A/C problem. The gas mileage is great in the city and on the highway. And it's reliable! I have taken many long-distance road trips in this car and it has never left me stranded.
Cons
The factory radio stopped working about 3 years after I bought it. Replacing the radio was an easy fix, though. It can also be kind of expensive when there is a problem with it simply because it is a foreign car and I have to take it to a mechanic that specializes in foreign cars. However, I have never had a repair that was more than $900, which I find reasonable for a car that has lasted this long.
