Comments
Favorite feature:	headlights that turn off all by themselves, I haven't touched the headlight switch in months
Least favorite feature:	they messed it up for the 2002 year, it looked better with the chrome grill and front facia of the 1999-2001 model years
Advice to buyer:	fuel mileage is only an average of 1 mpg difference for the V6, so get it. Cloth seats wear quicker than normal, go with leather. Highly recommended though.
Detailed review:	Mine is actually a 2000 model year Galant ES with the 4 cyl, but the only difference from the 2002's is the front trim and the headlight/taillights. So far the car has held up very well, but I did score it down one point for performance because the 4 cyl/15 inch wheel combo is better suited to mild mannered family types, even though it is peppy enough. I rated quality down one point because the front brake rotors aren't as durable as they should be, and the front seats in mine are already wearing down pretty ugly, with only 40k miles (shoulda got leather). Otherwise, I love the car, my friends all think I'm rich, especially with the BMW-esque styling.
Also considered:	2000 Honda Accord 2000 Nissan Maxima
Vehicle purchased:	2000 Mitsubishi Galant
