#2392 of 2438 First Galant by wolfie1254 Jan 08, 2009 (6:15 am)
I have owned several Japanese cars over the years - Mazda, Subaru, and Honda (currently own 1999 Honda Accord). I am in the process of shopping for a late model used car and there is a dealer in PA that has 4 2008 Galants with low mileage and even one 2009 Galant. I don't know much about the Mitsubishi Galant as far as how it rides or more important long term reliability. Consumer Reports and other car reviews give it an average grade compared to other cars in its class. I am planning a trip to this dealer tomorrow to check out one of the 2008 Galants and I plan on taking it for a test drive. Can someone give me any information about the Galant that might convince me that this car would be a good buy? Replies to this message: zelskid (Jan 08, 2009 10:41 am)

Replying to: wolfie1254 (Jan 08, 2009 6:15 am) My daughter bought a 2007 Galant Ralliart about 9 months ago, with11k mi. She loves it and it has been trouble free. It has that burnt orange paint and gets a lot of attention. The oem gps needs an update which costs $400, so as the map gets obsolete, she may buy a cheap gps to keep as a supplement.

#2395 of 2438 Vibration by the_guy Feb 01, 2009 (4:56 pm)
I feel vibration when I start the engine. The car is 120K, 2000 2.4L. Its like the steering wheel, dash and passenger seat vibrate about 0.5 inches. Any ideas?

Replying to: the_guy (Feb 01, 2009 4:56 pm) I'm by no means a mechanic but I'd start with the motor mounts.   Does the vibration smooth out or at least diminish when you drive v. being at idle?   (I'm at 146K on my '99 LS V6) Replies to this message: the_guy (Feb 04, 2009 6:40 am) mikevegas06 (Feb 06, 2009 5:48 pm) the_guy (Feb 07, 2009 7:21 am) mikevegas06 (Feb 16, 2009 10:08 am)

Replying to: fushigi (Feb 03, 2009 2:59 pm) Yes the vibration reduces when driving. I got the wheels balanced yesterday.

Replying to: fushigi (Feb 03, 2009 2:59 pm) I think fushigi is right. Each engine mount is surrounded by a bushing that absorbs the engine vibration. Eventually, those bushings deteriorate and the vibrations appear. It's a common occurance for inline 4 cylinders with more than 100k on the odometer. The cost of replacing them usually isn't worth having it done. I've been down this road before as well. But, it won't hurt to ask a mechanic.

Replying to: mikevegas06 (Feb 06, 2009 5:48 pm) Mike - any idea how much it might cost to get them replaced? Replies to this message: mikevegas06 (Feb 16, 2009 10:08 am)

Replying to: the_guy (Feb 07, 2009 7:21 am) I have no idea of the cost. I just know that labor is the killer. Try searching this site for an answer mitsubishi-forums.com Good luck. Sorry for the delayed response.   Mike
#2401 of 2438 Difference between GTS and 09 SE V6 w/sun/sound package by leftofcenter2 Mar 03, 2009 (6:36 pm)
Does any one know if there is a difference between the 2 models? I am trading in my 2005 GTS lease (love the car) and am purchasing the 09 SE V6 with sun/sound package. I'm not sure if there is a difference as they are no longer making the GTS version. Replies to this message: mikevegas06 (Mar 04, 2009 3:58 am)
