The Mitsubishi Galant has been around since 1969, starting off as just a compact car, but growing into a larger mid-size. The ninth generation Galant, which debuted in 2004, is noted for its athletic V6 engine, confident ride quality and assertive handling. And following the redesign, all Galants come standard with 4-wheel disc brakes, keyless entry, and full power accessories.
There are many Galant trims available, including the DE, ES, LS, GTS, and Ralliart. The DE and ES trims are both powered by a 2.4 liter four-cylinder engine which produces 160 horsepower.
The LS and GTS models are equipped with a 3.8 liter V6 engine that pumps out 230 horsepower. And all Galant V6 models also come with a manual shift gate and ABS.
The GTS is the sporty trim of the Galant. It has a sport-tuned suspension, a special grille, rear spoiler, leather interior, and also a sunroof. It also comes with 17 inch alloy wheels while the rest of the Galants feature standard 16 inch steel wheels.
Over recent years, there's been a number of changes to the Galant:
In 2005, all Galants added standard front side airbags.
In 2007, Mitsubishi redesigned the Galant's front and back appearance. 2007 also marked the launch of the sport-oriented Ralliart trim. The Ralliart features a 258 horsepower V6 engine coupled with a 5-speed transmission. The Ralliart also comes with traction control.
In 2008, the Galant design was slimed down a bit and the SE and GTS models were discontinued.
The Galant is also a strong safety performer. In government crash tests, the Galant earned five out of five stars for both frontal and side impact protection for both the driver and passengers.
All in all, the Galant is a stylish and comfortable car that will surprise some with its focus on performance ... at affordable prices. And we think it makes an excellent choice as a used car purchase.
