Faults:

All sorts of little things, mostly wear items: tie rod end, brakes, wheel bearing, plugs & wires.

The water pump started grinding/leaking about 2 months before I got rid of it.

Distributor went out a few weeks after I got it.

Burned some oil.

Power Steering leaked.

Lower radiator support rusted through.

General Comments:

Yes, I had some problems with this car, but it wasn't all that bad.

The car spent its whole life in Ohio, which explains the underbody rusting problem, the body was remarkably solid though.

For the mileage, the problems were to be expected, and the previous owners didn't do much in the way of regular maintenance.

Plenty of power for a 4 cylinder. Would roast the tires into 2nd gear at high rpm shifts.

Fuel economy was decent with my driving habits. I would get mid 20's driving it hard, and close to 30 with easier driving.

I actually enjoyed driving this car more than I do my current 2007 Dodge Caliber.

Faults:

Transmission completely destroyed at 94500.

General Comments:

I bought this car at an auction, and it has been problems since.

The car was wrecked when I bought it, but it still had a clean title.

Taking the car home, it started, drove several miles, then it shut off and wouldn't restart. I had to remove the battery and allow the computer to reset.

Over the 3000 miles I was working on it and driving it.

Around 93500 miles, it was painted with all of the body work finished.

Two weeks later the transmission lost overdrive and was loosing drive.

Three days later I hit a deer, and two days after that the transmission completely died.

I was stuck with fines for leaving it set overnight.

I had it towed to a friends house and it has been setting since.

Not only with the bad luck attached to the car, it needs front end work, a transmission, and an engine miss fixed along with the deer damage.

Faults:

Honestly not much has gone wrong with the car, which is surprising because of the high mileage. I realize that I haven't owned the car for that long, but from the history reports it hasn't had anything wrong with it before either. Obviously there are a few kinks:

Power windows act up.

The steering wheel doesn't sit high enough.

The screws and bolts holding some of the minor stuff together fall off easily such as the visor and the door panel.

General Comments:

But overall I love this car. Its my first car. And I'm so proud of it. Everybody at my school knows me by :the guy who drives the Galant" because if it is driven properly it is a very "cool" car.

Its top speed of over 120 mph is just remarkable!

It takes corners like no other.

And mine having just 170 hp feels like it has 250+. And I really like showing it off with my friends and the ladies in the car.
