The 2003 Mitsubishi Galant was the next-to-the-last model-year entry for the eighth generation of production for the mid-size sedan, which lasted from 1999 to 2004. Although in terms of refinement and reliability, the 2003 Galant was no match for the mid-size car leaders--the Toyota Camry and the Honda Accord--it was still a good choice for those who were more budget-minded. The GTZ trim represented the top-level trim for the vehicle.
