2003 Mitsubishi Galant Preview summaryImage

There are no significant changes to the Mitsubishi Galant for 2003. The ES is no available with a Sun and Sound option package, which includes a 210-watt Infinity sound system, a sunroof and 16-inch alloy wheels. Traction control is now standard on the LS models.

The Galant continues with two engine options in 2003. A 2.4 liter four cylinder engine powers the DE, ES and the LS. This power plant generates 145 horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque. The ES V-6, LS V-6 and GTZ models get a 3.0 liter V-6, producing 195 horsepower and 205 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy is estimated at 21/28 mpg with the four and 20/27 mpg with the V-6. A four-speed automatic is the Galant's only transmission option.

The attractive and distinctly styled Galant is easily distinguished from its mid-size competitors, and it scores above the class average in nearly every category. The Galant has never had the success of the Toyota Camry or the Honda Accord, but many reviewers continue to assert that it is one of the best buys in this hotly contested automotive segment.

The Galant's top attributes include athletic handling abilities, and a comprehensive list of standard features at a very reasonable price. Unfortunately, the Galant is not as powerful as many competitors and there is no manual transmission available, despite the sedan's sporting orientation.

There isn't a lot I dislike about the vehicle, I think I said it all in the Cons. Handling is extremely responsive; gas mileage on long trips averages 36 mpg at 65 mph; city driving is a consistent 27+ mpg with speeds varying between 60 - 65 mph. Even though this is the 2.4 4-cylinder engine, it performs very well when accelerating onto the freeway. Plenty get-up-and-go. I would not recommend this car to a friend because of all the money we have had to put into the a/c - heater controls and it still is not working correctly. Mitsubishi needs to come up with something better, or go back to the type of controls our 1990 Mighty Max Pickup has. We've never had any trouble out of it. Because of this and the poor dealership in Tulsa, Oklahoma, we will not purchase another Mitsubishi.Jan 13, 2014

This is and awesome care that rides great, is quiet and has all the amenities that a mid-class car should have. Its breaking system and 6 cylinders make it a great cruising car. it has been virtually maintenance free other than regular oil changes, and 1 break job. Feb 25, 2012

not a bad car to have for a family car/toy. repairs on it were costly, but in the long run this car got me from point A to point B in some style. easily modified with little effort and looks niceFeb 24, 2012
