Im looking for a new car and am strongly considering a 2003 Galant ES...about 16k miles. Are there any known quality problems with this car? A friend told me they have problems overheating..anything like this? How are the maintenance costs?</P>

I am looking at one also so(2003 galant es with 29000 miles)and hope i can get some info on it.I want to know aboutany problems and the reliability and safety and likes/dislikes.It has a noise from the front end right side sounds like a woumping noise all the time when moving(better tires are on the front than the back can it be tire,brake or something else)On the backleft side the wheel well has some scratches in there-salesman said might have ran over something to do that as in throwing something against the wheel well)but i dont know about that.How is the motor very good or not its a 2.4 l.how is the paint quality.thanks for any and all help

 

The 2.4 Liter motor is quite reliable. Its a widely used motor by Mitsubishi. The noise from the front sounds like either a bent rim or a mis-balanced tire.</P>

 

I have a 2003 Galant ES. Even though i've only had it for about a month, it's been a good car.But, the truth is, all cars are made by people. Problems that cars have can happen on any manufacturer. I just rid myself of a Mazda 626 customized car and I previously had a 91 Honda Civic before that. And the Civic had more problems than all my cars. So what i'm saying is check out the body style and everything and see if it's what you want. Like I said, even though it's only been a month, I like my Galant.
