The 2004 Mitsubishi Gallant I have is the second Mitsubishi vehicle I have owned and I love it. Unfortunately my first vehicle was a 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage, and it was totaled. Due to finances, I went with the Gallant even though I preferred an SUV, because I have three children. With all honesty I refused to get a mom car, because I still wanted to be youthful. I was in my twenties when I purchased it. One thing I love about Mitsubishi's is that they are of great quality and have lots of value even though the cost is inexpensive.
Story
I live in the south so we're not prone to snow. One memorable moment I had was when my husband had to get through the slush after picking our kids up early from school due to the weather. Our driveway is slightly hilly, and my husband wasn't able to backup the car into the carport, so I took over and had him push the car along with my revving in reverse as we were determined not to leave our c...

Pros
It has a youthful and sporty look and is very affordable. It is still good for day to day driving, but we have more than exceeded the time we should've kept it. I wouldn't trade it or give it away as I plan to keep it even once I find me an SUV. It will be a great vehicle for my children to learn to drive. One thing I love about Mitsubishi's is that they are of great quality and have lots of value even though the cost is inexpensive. I've driven this vehicle to multiple states, multiple times and it has always held me up. I keep some general maintenance but honestly because of my finance... (more)
Cons
The main thing I don't like about the vehicle is its size. I have a family, and it is a bit cramped on long travel, because my children are getting older. It is still good for day-to-day driving, but we have more than exceeded the time we should've kept it. I don't like that it is so low to the ground, but it is understood as its intent is to have a sporty look. In addition to the sporty look, I don't like how low it slopes in the front row; it makes me feel claustrophobic.

This vehicle came at a time that was bittersweet for me. I lost my very first vehicle due to a car accident and even though my 2000 Mitsubishi Mirage was repairable it was totaled due to its value. Even though I wanted an SUV I became star struck once I found out the Galant as I was actually considering getting another Mirage. I love the car because it was affordable, stylish and dependable. Mitsubishi's in general are very dependable cars and a trusted brand. You get good value and don't have to compromise style even if you don't purchase the newest model. The only thing I disliked was the size because I had a growing family so it became difficult with three children cramped in the back.
Story
I enjoyed driving this vehicle over 10 hours to Dallas, TX with my family. Even though cramped the job got done and we made it. I enjoyed all the stops and the weird people you see out on the road.
Pros
The top thing I loved is even though I wasn't able to get an SUV or brand new vehicle was that my Galant was stylish still at 3+ years old. Even to this day 10+ years later the paint job is still in tact and has a decent shine with no rust or chipping. It has been very dependable in that only have to take of normal maintenance like tire replacement, rotate and balance and oil change. This was very great being that I went through a traumatic financial crisis and to have a car that didn't put me down was great.
Cons
The main con is the size for me because I have three children. Other than that it would've been nice to have some modern technological updates like the ability to connect to iTunes, built in gaps, heated seats and more electronic controls for seating adjustment.
