Ive had 3Gs...3 different generations...and honestly I put the G up there with any other car as far as reliability. I feel 100% safe and confident every time I drive my G. From a quality standpoint alone (sound dampening, materials, craftsmanship) I put the Galant at the head of the line of cars that arent too expensive but of very high quality. My '03 was sold to a dealership for electrical issues, I bought the car and come to find out previous owner installed cd player incorrectly and was blowing fuses lol...point being just love your G and she will take care of you, show that G love and respect her and she will return it 10 fold...baby her engine and keep her clean inside and out and trust me youll have no issues out of her. Period.

i've thrashed the tits outa my car, and it never let me down, as has been said all it takes is good maintenance, and knowing the limits of your car and engine and you should never have a problem, bar normal wear and tear ie clutches, gearboxes and diffs ( depending how you drive it of course )

general maintenance and checking your car will keep you out of trouble

not to mention my cars saved my ass a few times and i like to think its cause i treat my car well so it does the same for me

Bought my 03 ES V6 back in 02 w/ 1 Mile on the Odometer. 7 years and 128,000 miles later she idles and runs like new. And that's NOT an overstatement. I'm serious. Last year just to offset the mileage on the G, I bought a 07 TL Type S. I kid you not, I think my Galant idles smoother than the TL. I do take care of my cars though. I change my own oil every 5k (fully synthetic). I change my own Tranny Fluid every 30k. I do my own brakes, rotate tires, tune ups (I changed spark plugs at 50k and changed spark plugs and wires at 100k). I recently changed my power steering fluid (drained it, took the reservoir out and cleaned it).. basically the only thing I have EVER taken it to the dealer for was for the first year I took it for the free oil changes (although I stopped doing that cause it was a pain in the ass since they would keep the car all day) and to do the timing belt at 80k. The other belts I got done at firestone for 100 bucks. I have NEVER had a problem w/ my galant. It only failed me once, when the radiator cracked right in the front, and when I parked my car, a shit ton of smoke was coming out of my engine bay.. I was unsure what it was until I opened the hood and saw steam / coolat fluid shooting out of the radiator. Alls I did was go to NAPA buy a radiator and pop it in. Took about 2 hours and she was brand new again.... oh.. and every year I sea foam her (crank case and gas tank) and every 10-15k, I sea foam the intake. (first time I did it I fogged out the neighborhood... ever since then it's like hardly any smoke comes out).

So.. in closing.. like everyone says.. take care of your G.. and she will take care of you back.

Welcome to TGC. Sounds like you've kept good care of your car since it was new. Keep up the good maintenance stuff, not many people do.

Thanx. I actually have been a member for a couple of years. I come on here every once in a while to search through some DIYs or just troubleshooting threads for certain things. I find that generally speaking, forums are a GREAT way for you to learn about your car and learn to take care of it. There are plenty of people willing to help you out and for the most part, if you're thinking about doing something, someone has probably already done it and it's in some thread somewhere. I'm an active member of Acurazine which is my TL forum since lately I've been modding the shit out of it..lol But I'm glad I finally posted here.. 2 years later...hehhehe

ok here is my opinion on this.... maybe this guy is a retard that got a lemon and does not know a good thing from a bad. i agree with most everyone here if you are that unhappy sell it and buy something you will like if thats possible for you. there are people on this site that has had mits. for over 15 years if that should tell you something. i have only had mine personally for a couple months now but out of 10 years of driving and 20 plus different cars i have drove i have never been this stoked about every mornin when i wake up looking forward to my daily drive i love it you should also.

**Derekams313** · 07-12-2010, 10:03 PM

Im with everyone else on this thread i've had my 03' since 2005 and i've put her thru hell like totaly loosing the lower half of a full cold air intake on an 8 hour drive and not knowin about it for a few weeks to jumping her a few feet in the air she has about 137k still runs strong as ever
