Faults:

Struts needed replaced per schedule, coil packs replaced sooner than scheduled, spark plugs and wires replaced per schedule.

Brake light on one side has a wiring issue and doesn't want to work, even with a new bulb.

Gas tank has a purge problem that makes it difficult to fill up. Dealer wants an insane amount for just the gas tank, so I didn't fix the problem. Fuel filler neck was replaced due to rust (Ohio climate) Sometimes, gas will spill back out of the gas cap. You have to go slowly to prevent this.

Transmission pan taken off and cleaned. No sign of any metal particulates. Shifts great.

Burns oil, because the oil was overfilled once, damaging the seals. Catalytic converter can't function properly because of the burning oil problem.

Will run forever, but would need valve seals replaced to truly meet emissions now.

Overall, a very rough ride, due to the suspension type used. You can't upgrade the parts. It's just not designed like a Cadillac for smooth riding. It gets good gas mileage at 25/26 for mixed driving.

General Comments:

Good car for the value.

Check for any signs of fluid by the tranny pan, because some people may have never changed the fluid, and the gasket will eventually leak. Tranny fluid doesn't really need changing either! The filter for the tranny on my vehicle was not serviceable, so you won't see it when you take off the pan.

Cruise control might not work on some vehicles. Mine sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.

The factory radio should be replaced after 10 years if you still want to be able to read the clock on it.

Faults:

Timing belt snapped at 154,000 miles.

Tranny mounts are worn out.

General Comments:

Pretty quick for a 4 cylinder.

Attracts a lot of attention.

Small car, yet roomy cabin.

Faults:

I have had no major problems; some paint damage that was from me, and the owner from before left in the sun, and it was not waxed enough.

The A/C is not as good as I want, but I rarely use it.

General Comments:

I find the seats comfortable. I love them; they are low enough for me, so it feels like a sporty sedan.

I do some racing events like autocross, and she handles great, sticks to the road like nothing, and will out turn a Civic or Mustang.

Quick to speed, so if you have a heavy foot, then the car will give you a thrill, but not as much as a V8.

Faults:

The CD player died at around 70,000 miles. I have read that this is somewhat common with the Infinity stereos. Other than that, nothing yet (knocking on wood).

General Comments:

I am very impressed with this car. Originally I was looking at the Accord, Millenia, and Camry, but the prices were too high for the mileage I was seeking. I found this car, and have been delighted with my buy so far.

The V-6 is great! Decent acceleration off the line, but very good if you floor it in 3rd gear and up.

Handling is pretty good for a 4-door that weighs almost two tons.

Gas mileage is good. The manual says to use premium, but I have had no trouble using a slightly lower octane (mid-grade).

Average noise when driving.

The cabin is very nice, even the faux-wood looks decent. Seats are comfortable.

The car heats up very quickly in the winter, which is nice.

Braking is solid.

Trunk is pretty big too.

All of this for $8300 (USD) with 60,000 miles!

Faults:

One rear wheel bearing replaced at 37,000.

Battery dead at 37,000.

Left front ball joint replaced at 80,000.

Replaced front and rear brake pads at (front with ceramic) at 70,000. noise/shuddering eliminated.

General Comments:

Excellent acceleration with V6.

Very smooth riding - feels well-made.

Leather interior has worn real well.

I have had no real major problems with the Galant Ls - has moonroof and every option, so there was plenty that could go wrong, but it hasn't.

Paint job is good - clearcoat has not worn down.

Backseat leg room is very small, but doesn't matter to me.

Car is supposed to be filled with premium fuel, but I have used regular since owning and has not been a problem.

Looks awesome like a small BMW body style - fit and finish close to most Japanese makes - but priced MUCH LOWER.
