    What made you buy a G instead...?

    I remember when I was looking for a car in 03, Accord, Camry, Galant were all contenders. I landed my 01 with 8000 miles for 10g. Couldn't be happier and now 3 years later I'm just wondering why you went for a Galant instead of the others.

    For me I liked the aggressive look and I thought the price was a steal. Nothing against Hondas and Toyotas =X

    I've had 2 galants before this one. So when it came time to look for a projectcar. I chose a galant. Paid 10grand w/ 12k on the dash for it and never regretted it.

    Everyone complains about terrible resale value, well I got mine used for an awesome price, so I'm not complaining.

    I got it for what the dealer traded it in for.

    Before driving the Galant I test drove:
    -95 Civic 4dr 5spd
    -00 Cougar 5spd
    -96 Tiburon 5spd

    And as soon as I drove the Galant I knew it was the car I wanted. None of the previous cars compared to it
    7g for life!

    I drove a 2001 Civic, Accord, Malibu, Camry, S10 Xtreme, Celica GTS, Jetta GLS, Escape.....basically anything between $18,000-25,000. The Galant stuck out because of the styling and the review in Car & Driver earlier that year where the Galant bested the Accord and the Camry.

    I was getting either a Galant, Grand Am, or Camry. The Grand Am had NO leg room and no space inside. The Camry didn't impress me. While the Galant kept my attention and it drove smoothly.

    As many problems as I've had with the Galant, I don't regret buying it in the long run. 25k miles when I bought it, now up to 85k. I'll probably drive this car till I die. 8)

    A while back I was walking to my moms car, a Corolla, in the community college I went to. There, I was this car pulling out. It has an amazing body kit on it and the aggressiveness of it took me away. I knew that was the car I wanted but didn't know what it was. I research and research until I saw another one, this time with the badges on it. It was a 2002 Mitsubishi Galant. So then, I looked all over the place and found a nice bodega beige 2000 Mitsubishi Galant in a repo center. I paid half and my dad paid the other half. Cost me around 6k but it was worth it! Milage was immaculate. Funny thing is I recently paid my pops 3k lol. So now it's really REALLY mines!
