1994 Mitsubishi Galant GS 2.4 Liter DOHC 4-Cylinder (150hp) from North America
Summary:
Better than My Old Accord
Faults:
Car started to burn oil at about 100,000 miles. Needed new gasket.
Timing belt stared making annoying noises when car started up. Occurred at about 120,000 miles.
Car had a really hard time starting up. Needed new starter and flywheel. This happened at about 200,000 miles.
Car idled at about 3000 revolutions per minute (RPM). Needed an idle adjustment at about 220,000 miles.
General Comments:
I am a 24 year old women with 2 Children, and a nephew living with me. I couldn't find a better family car.
It may seem like a lot of problems, but it it has 224,000 miles on it. And it never stalled. The closest it got to not starting was when the flywheel went.
It is comfy, fully loaded with every single option. I got it when I was 16 when my 1986 accord died.
It turns many heads. Well it is the sport model.
I will buy another 1994 Galant as my second family car.
Makes me ask, "Honda and Toyota who?"
Mitsubishi owners look out for the belts on these cars. Every Mitsubishi or Mitsubishi-based Dodge I see had the belt just squealing away.
I would recommend the car for all types of people. they have something for everyone.
S model: For people who want cheap, but not spartan performance.
ES: Midrange model. Optional ABS
LS: Pure Luxury
GS: Sport and Luxury.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Just brought one of these about 2 weeks, ago. Yes it is a GAS Guzzler, and it definitely prefers the 96 + octane fuel. I got about 470K's for a 55 litre fill up!..
I had mine AA inspected - all that was wrong was the parcel shelf was missing. But have found another defect since owning it. When you put your foot down in 5th, doing say 120Kms, at about the 4500RPM range the clutch seems to slip, strange thing is that it does not do it in any other gear. So that will be nice and expensive!
However the car is much more fun than the old 1800 Mitsubishi Libero (auto) I used to drive.!
