Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Excellent balance between ride quality and handling, strong V6, stylish and comfortable cockpit, roomy backseat, superb Infinity sound system.

Cons

No manual transmission or full side curtain airbags, some interior materials feel cheap, not enough storage areas, no folding rear seat.

What’s new

The Galant receives seat-mounted side airbags with head protection as standard equipment on all models. A power driver seat with lumbar adjustment is now standard equipment on the LS. Rear floor heater ducts have been added, and Blackwood trim replaces Metal Mesh and Birdseye wood on the GTS.

Edmunds says

Roomy for four and enjoyable to drive, the Galant does without a few key features while sacrificing some practicality and refinement for the sake of style. Though unlikely to unseat any of the class leaders, it's still worth a look if you're not one to follow the crowd.

Great Car

X-Men, 11/22/2010

2005 Mitsubishi Galant SE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

I have bought this car for 2 months as 2nd hand and I'm loving it so far. I gives me the power when ever I needed it on a highway/city and the comfort the car gives is imaginable. Great "Infinity" stereo sound system with 6CD changer.

Still happy after 2 years

2005 Mitsubishi Galant GTS V6 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

Pretty much love the car. It's been able to do everything I've asked of it. People still comment on how cool it looks. Pickup is excellent.

Outstanding Performance

2005 Mitsubishi Galant LS V6 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 4A)

I traded in my 2002 Galant ES 4 cyl for the 2005 Galant LS V6 and was instantly happy with the performance and acceleration. Its power drivers seat is a great plus, although it should have a memory preset. I am extremely disappointed with the fuel economy, I am only getting about 12-15 mpg city and about 19-22 highway. I don't slam on the gas pedal, by am usually casual while driving …

Been a very nice car
