Reliable until unforeseen expense came up

This car served me well through the winter. The most unforeseen issue was its undoing: The head gasket. Other issues surfaced, and unrelenting pressure is on me to scrap the vehicle...as NO ONE is willing to tow, repair, replace and take care of an otherwise good vehicle.

Reliable

I have on this car since 2016 it had two owners before me. I spend 40 bucks in gas and will last for two weeks at the most. It still runs nice never had a problem with it. Does great on the highway. Perfect for a new driver. Easy to maintain doesn’t give me any problems. I bought mine for 450 but honestly it was worth it.

Test and inspect the heck out of this car!

The car is a great vehicle to get you to A and B, easy car to pay off if the price is cheap. Don't let a dealer or private seller jip you out of your money because these cars can have a lot of problems if you don't test drive it or inspect it. It's great on gas, air conditioner works great, it's mostly the inside involving the engine and computer you may see problems. I have my car checked out all the time and they can't find a problem unless the 'check engine' light is on. Luckily, I only had one owner. Bought is December 2014, it's now August 2017 and I feel like it's on it's last leg. Paid it off last year. Just be sure that you check EVERYTHING so your car doesn't give out so soon.

This car is a trooper!

How I would describe this car, it's like a Honda; it'll last long and it'll survive as long as possible as long as you take care of it. Mantience on it is easy, there's no foreign complications for mechanics like you'll get with Lexus or BMW. Most mechanics know how to operate on this vehicle. Parts are cheap too, and oil changes are a breeze. Easy car to start off with for a teenager or a young adult.

2003 Mit Galant bought in 2014

I got this car from a private seller. The a/c has to be totally replaced and I had to get another window motor for the driver side. Aside from that, it gets about 26.6 mpg mixed, really has a lot of power on the road, pretty tight handling, sometimes too tight lol. Good brakes, tran, engine, everything so far. I would recommend this car to someone if it's from a private seller. If it's taken care of then it is a good car. I've been driving this car all over the place the last month I have had it and it seems to handle it all well. Of course Mitsubishi and their paint job leaves a lot to be desired but can't expect a perfect car when it's 11 years old right.
