#46 of 2438 Question... by vocus Jun 09, 2000 (2:06 pm)
Does the V6 engine in the Galant require premium fuel or not?? As far as aggressive drivers, come and drive on the Capital Beltway (Washington, DC) if you wanna see aggressive. The speed limit is 55, but if you went that speed, you would be pushed off the side of the road and left for dead. I have seen people go anywhere from 70-90 mph, and space enough for them? Please! Half the time, if you look close enough in your rearview mirror, you will be able to see what kinda underwear they have on!

I never even noticed the lack of a domelight. Now it's gonna bug me. I have noticed a few of the other minor details you mentioned that I would love to see addressed as well. The armrest does hold 1 fewer CD than I keep in my car, so I have to put the extra case in the little compartment under the climate control switches. The problem with that is the compartment is smooth so any type of hard acceleration (very easy to do with a fun car like this) and the CD case comes flying out. Also, a keyless trunk access option is a must! I'd put that in aftermarket if I knew of anywhere that did it. I play Ice Hockey so it would be such a bonus to be able to simply pop the trunk and toss in my equipment without having to put everything down so I can get the key into the lock. I heard this feature is standard on the Diamante, so put it on the Galant! Oh well. I'm never be happy unless I have something to complain about. (At least that's what my wife says.)

Just bought a 2000 GTZ. Paid 23,252 and the dealer gave me 2,300 for my 95 Geo Prizm with 90K miles(and very beat up). Very happy so far, other then the minor details(dome light, change holder).
#49 of 2438 Can anyone answer my question? by trigger9 Jun 09, 2000 (5:13 pm)
Why can't I get a manual transmission 2000 Galant? Is there a Mitsu reprepresentative that can explain why you discontinue making the fabulous little 5-speed, 4-cylinder? I am very disappointed!
#50 of 2438 Don't be disappointed, buy a Maxima and enjoy! by mpevzner Jun 09, 2000 (8:20 pm)
It has a v6 with 5 speed manual. Fast enough, price is somewhat close. It looks UGLY though, IMHO. Galant has never been an entusiast's car scince vr4 was discontinued. The new v6 is a dog, thanks to the lousy gearbox and a boat due to the overboosted steering. I felt pretty excited when I bought it, now the more I drive it, the more I feel like selling it. Mitsubishi build quality is pretty lousy too. The customer satisfaction ratio is far below average. Also their service in Northern California sucks big time. The only advantage this car had when I bought it - it was cheap (ES v6 $17.5 before tax and license). But now this last advantage is gone. I wouldn't buy it again. P.S. If you want a fast 4 cylinder look at VW passat.

Everyone here knows what you are thinking, everyone here knows your story, nobody here cares anymore. You don't like your car, oh well. The time has come for you to move on...
#52 of 2438 I AGREE!!!! by purp3 Jun 11, 2000 (3:53 am)
I've been looking at this forum the past few months and agree that MPEVZNER has worn out his welcome! We all know he has a GALANT and hates it! Well, you are in the minority MPEVZNER! Most of the people in this forum really love their Galant! I know I love mine! I have a 2000 ES. Took a trip to Alabama today and got 30mpg on the highway. Not to bad! The best I got was 33mpg on the highway. So, back to MPEVZNER, you need to move on with your life and quit bashing Mitsu! You've already put enough messages in here letting everyone know how you feel! Please stop and take up your problems elsewhere!! Also, with respect to a manual transmission on 2000 Galants, I am under the assumption that Mitsu doesn't make one.
#53 of 2438 Intro by lrisr Jun 11, 2000 (10:20 pm)
Hi everyone! I just wanted to say that I am a second time around owner of a Galant. I bought my new one in March at Ourisman Mitsubishi in Maryland. Dover White Pearl 4 cyl ES with Premium package and it had 0 miles on it. It had just been delivered to the dealer that week. I have about 1400 miles on it now. I don't drive much! My first car was an 89 Galant and when I traded it in, it had 180,020 miles on it. I bought it used in 94 for $4K and got $1K for it as a trade in. Totally not worth 1k but I squeezed as much as I could out of them given that it still had original parts in it! I got 0 down, 0 payments for 3 months and 4.9 APR for 5 years. Was not in the market for a new car, I planned on buying used but I saw the new Galants at Carmax in MD and was very impressed. Went to Ourisman test drove it, went home thought about it, and got it the next day. The sticker price was $21,352 and after all was said and done with tax, title and freight I paid $21,335. Probably a little high after reading all these posts but it fell within my budget for a car. I threatened to walk out of there 3 times(I asked for my keys back to my old car repeatedly) until they gave me a payment schedule that I approved of. All in all I'm happy with my car, I'm happy with my payment schedule and boy do those 4 cyls have pep. I left a Honda with a Vtech engine eating my dust one day!!
#54 of 2438 trigger9 - manual trans by workathome Jun 12, 2000 (5:36 am)
Anybody wonder about the extra options: vr4, manual trans, turbo, etc... well, doing some checking on the web, it seems that Mitsu. decided that the American public wasn't hip on buying these options and therefore don't put them on the cars here. But in Japan there are these kind of cars.... meaning... well, you can import these features, of course, that means paying serious $$$. OR as faithful Mitsu buyers, we could put our voices together, creating a loud voice, and speak our desires as consumers of their product. I know the Galant is assembled in Normal, IL. Now we just have to find the place to send our requests and/or suggestions to headquarters!!!
#55 of 2438 Xenon - white lights by workathome Jun 12, 2000 (5:57 am)
So has anybody put the "white lights" on their new Galants?? I put the Sylvania cool blue on my LS and it does seem a bit brighter.
