It is a poor excuse for a car in this day and age. In 2001 it would have been an okay car. That generation of Galant came out in 2004 and was already behind the curve then, and was really dated within a couple of years.
Someone else here has mentioned a while back that Mitsubishi has outdoor power equipment sounding starters...that's no joke. Sounds like starting an electric start lawn mower.
The last gen of Galant was just a poorly executed car.
When I drove the Mirage, I wasn't sure if I was on a big riding mower or in a car. The good news is, if the starter fails, you can probably swap it with a lawnmower ...
Oddly enough, the OE starter for my 2000 Cherokee was built by Mitsubishi.
The local dealer has 1 or 2 2012 Galant (new, as far as I can tell) and a 2012 i-MiEV.
