Pontiac Grand Am or Mitsubishi Galant???

[berndawg84]

I was wondering what people thought about these two cars...after looking at different makes and models for awhile, I've decided on one of the two, probably a 2001 or 2002 model for either of them. So, which do people think is better? I don't really need a car with a lot of frills or anything, just something that's reliable, will last me awhile, and has at least some power and is a decent ride. As of now, I'm leaning more towards getting the Grand Am over the Galant, but I'm open to any suggestions or comments...thanks

I went with Galant because I'm a Mitsubishi guy

However, if your looking base model vs. base model, the Grand Am is probably going to have a little bit better performance. The Galant V6 moves pretty well, but the I4 really takes some revving to get it moving.

Quality wise, I've noticed between my Chevy pickup and the Mitsus that the Chevy has good engine reliability, but the interior has not held up. Flip side, I expect a few more mechanical problems from the Mitsu, but the interior feels much better and seems to have much better last.
