Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

Have had my Galant for 3 years and have just gone over 60,000 miles, and it has been a great car with no problems whatsoever thus far. I have an SE model, which is completely loaded. It had an MSRP of $28K, but this was the last model year for the Galant, and Mitsubishi was offering aggressive rebates, so I was able to drive it off the lot brand new for $21K and some change. So I got a car with leather, nav, back up camera, and a moonroof for the same price as a stripped Accord/Camry/Altima.

The good:

Reliability has been great. Right up there with the more popular Japanese brands. Came with a 10-yr/100K mile warranty. Despite the fact this is a 3,600 lb car with just 160 HP, the engine moves it well enough. The car has a ton of features that work well. The dealer network has been great. I also love the looks of the car and like the fact that it's something different, not just another Camry or Accord.

The "not as good":

The 2.4L 4-cylinder engine is a little noisy, but not unbearably so. Gas mileage is a little disappointing for this class. I average about 25 MPG in mixed city/highway driving; there are some V-6 models out there that do better than that. And, while I like the interior design, it's a little outdated for a 2012 model car. This generation Galant debuted in 2004, and it looks like a 2004 car inside.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with my Galant. These would make great used cars for anyone in the market for one.
