The Galant remains largely unchanged for the 2001 model year. The sedan now meets Low Emission Vehicle standards and Mitsubishi's LATCH child safety restraint system has been added to all models. The optional Cold Weather Package now includes traction control and heated mirrors.
The same model lineup returns this year. Buyers may choose between the base DE, the more equipped ES, the V6-powered ES, the upscale LS or the sporty GTZ. Base level features include air conditioning, an interior air filter, cup holders, power windows and door locks, remote mirrors, a CD player and digital clock. The DE and ES are powered by a four-cylinder engine, while all other models get a V-6.
Mitsubishi's 2.4 liter four cylinder engine produces 145 horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque. The 3.0 liter V-6 generates 195 horsepower and 205 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy 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 only transmission option.
The Galant may not be as popular as some of its Japanese competitors, but most reviewers contend that this sedan offers an exceptional value. The Galant's strengths include distinct styling, an inviting interior and overall road manners. Common consumer and reviewer issues include exterior noise intrusion, tight rear quarters and the lack of a manual transmission option.
What owners say
"Overall, drivers have a positive impression of the 2001 Mitsubishi Galant. They appreciate its affordability, reliability, and decent handling. Many found it fun to drive and praised its appearance. On the downside, some drivers mentioned that it lacks power, particularly in the four-cylinder version, and struggles in snowy conditions. A few noted the sound system could be louder without risking damage."
This would be a great car for someone just starting to drive all the way to someone with children. It drives and handles great no braking problems and it doesn't cost a lot for routine maintenance. It's not a big body car so it's easily maneuverable.
May 11, 2013I liked everything. Runs good, starts with in first three turn overs. Has amazing handling. Has good brakes. Emergency brake actually locks up. Its an amazing car over all. I would highly recommend it to someone I know. When the motor goes, I'm gonna get it rebuilt.

January 30, 2008I liked this car a lot. It got me from point A to B with no hitches or problems. I sold it only to get a standard transmission but would keep it until it died if I hadn't wanted to. Get this car if you can! : )
June 21, 2012This is probably the best looking car around within a resonable price range, for both buying and insurance. The quality is pretty simple to explain, its a Japanese car, done. lol even after having this for nearly 2 years its still fun to drive everyday.
April 23, 2012The car accelerates nicely and has great hwy mileage, drove about 130miles and only used 1/4 tank of gas, my first car took 1/2 tank to do the same trip. City mileage is alright, could be better. I really do love this car though, I have had it for 4 years now and put 30k miles on it.
March 30, 2010Slow, but for some reason fun car. Probably just a first car attachment i have. I swapped out the transmission to 5 speed manual. Much more fun now. Short shifter among other small bolt ons make it bearable to drive.
September 28, 2009This has been a very good car to me. I bought it in a pinch after I totaled the previous one. i regretted it at first, but I now I love it.
April 28, 2008Mitsubishi galant sport 2001, tiptronic, cruise control, climate control, sunroof... The car looks sporty, but it only locks like... The performance is regular, 2.0 you know :) What is fine about my car, is that it cost not much, and many useful things...
September 14, 2009this car drove nicely and rarely had problems
