Best value for a midsize car
What attracted me to the Galant is value for the money, style, performance, interior room, and the great warranty. You simply cannot get more car for the money. My Galant was built with UAW labor and more than 50% US part content, so I can even feel a bit patriotic about my decision. My other cars are a 1999 VW Passat GLS and a 1997 VW Jetta GT. I considered buying another Passat, but the difference in price didn't seem worth it to me.
Galant GTS
Handles extemely well and has good acceleration. Very smooth at high speeds on the interstate. The stereo is awesome. Have had some problems with the sunroof but these were resolved by the dealership. As of this time at 23000 miles it has been flawless.
Tampa Galant
Great car, purchased it over a 2005 Chrysler 300 Limited, Nissan Altima and Honda Accord....Great car, great ride and handling, I purchased the GTS model and I dont feel like another "cookie cutter" car on the road....unique and fun, great warranty, and the dealership was no pressure and extremely helpful. Would recommend the car and the dealership to all my friends.
2005 Mitsubishi Galant
This is a fun and smooth car to drive. I had a 2003 Galant that I traded in for this one and there is no comparison. A full size person can now fit in the back seat comfortably. The 3.8 V6 rocks the house too, in comparison to the 2.4L 4 cylinder. Overall Mitsubishi did a great job redesigning this vehicle but it is oddly similar to the new Honda Accord, which I also have. Looks like a little industrial espionage by somebody.
A fun to drive peppy car
Having been owners of Mistubishi cars before and know how reliable they are and how long they last, we decided to get a new 2005 Galant LS. Besides being an eye-catching car which has had many compliments, it is a smooth driving car, roomy, and with its airbags both front and side and a heavy body, it is a safe car. Mitsubishi warranty is fantastic -- 10 years - 3 years of normal routine services (oil, change, rotate tires, etc.). For someone looking for a stylish car that lasts, no one would be disappointed with the Mitsubishi Galants.
Best Mid-Size Car Out There
This Car is awesome. It has a beautiful exterior, very sporty looking. The interior is very attractive with titanium trim and 6 speaker infinity sound system. The alloy wheels are worth the extra money since the generic wheel covers are ugly. The upgrades are nice but are a little more expensive than they should be. I recommend this car to anyone looking for a quality, sexy, and sporty sedan. The 2.4L engine is awesome and it doesn't make much noise. The car is very sturdy and I feel very safe inside of it. Also comes with the best warranty in the business, 10yr / 100,000, 5 yr / 60,000 bumper to bumper, 3 yr free maintence. Mitsubishi has a winner with the 2005 Galant!
Great Car
I just recently purchased this car and I love it. I love the handling and its look. It is very comfortable and reliable. It is very spacious also. The acceleration is moderate, but I didnt buy a DE for the acceleration. The engine feels powerful and the transmission is smooth. I would recommend this car to anyone.
SE Galant 20005, A great purchase!
I simply can't say enough good things about the SE model. The spoiler, exhaust, leather interior, rims and taillight upgrades are phenomenal. I enjoy the space and roominess of the vehicle and how luxurious it is for the price I purchased it for. It's a great change of pace from it's rather plain-jane competitors (Accord and Camry). Wish this vehicle was publicized the way those are, and the warranty is a huge reason to make this your car! I don't worry about it expiring prior to my loan being paid off. Additionally, can you beat 0% financing?
the best car for the price
The 2005 Mitsubishi Galant is great. It has excellent looks, is macho, fast, economical, a great stereo, quiet interior, and last but not least great price and is maintenance free with a great warranty.
Happy overall
I can fit all three car seats in the back and still have room in between to buckle the buckels, and still can shut the doors with out hitting or bumping any of the car seats. It gets up and goes when you need to get out of the way of anything. Great gas mileage when you are traveling...but not around town. It is very sturdy and feels safe. The sensor for the airbag in the passager seat is great, since I do have little ones that sometimes have to sit in that seat.
Love my Black Beauty GTS!
I've only had it a month, but this is a great car--looks beautiful,and the quality for the price is excellent. It sure can fly when I tell it to, unlike my last car, which thought about it for a while! It is so comfortable, and has even made driving to work a joy! I intend to take it out on the open road while I am on vacation and really drive it. Our son had a Galant ('01) until recently, and it was a super little car, too, which steered me toward getting this one. Only 2 things I don't like: 1)The driver's a/c vent is angled kind of strangely, so it doesn't blow on you like it should; and 2)t he sunglasses/garage opener holder is very stiff--ladies, it will break your nails! This car is the best.
Very Impressive.
What can I say? For a great price, you get a great car. I am averaging about 26 mpg. The interior is very quiet. The ride is soft. It feels like an Acura drive. The car is a little sluggish though due to it's heavier than average weight. It does pick up after about 18 mph. I highly reccomend this car to anyone looking for a Camry or Accord. The price is a heck of a lot better for what ya get.
Great Car!
What can I say - I love my Galant! The first day that I drove it, it felt like I was driving a luxury car (I was so accustomed to driving a compact car before). It is a comfortable drive and I like the fact that it has received high safety ratings. I look forward to driving my Galant for a long, long time!
Fun to Drive
This car saved my life. I loved it and I'm looking to purchase another just like it. I would recommend it 100 times over.
I LOVE IT
I love my Galant. The experience was wonderful when I purchased it. The interior is sporty as well as the outside. This is by far the best quality car I've had.
Reliable.
I purchased my 2005 Galant with 27,000 miles in 2009 and must say this has bee my most reliable car I have ever owned. I recently traded in my 2005 and upgraded to the SE model, which is the fully loaded version and the last year( 2012) the Galant was made. I wish American cars were this reliable.

Best car so far!
I have been using this car for the past four years now in Nigeria, I have no problem whatsoever with any of the parts, except that I had to change the suspension due to the bad roads we have in Nigeria. So far, this car is short of nothing, it's just perfect in shape, size, mechanical, electrical etc The A/C is perfect, the lighting is superb, spacious trunk. What a perfect car!!!

Exceptional Car - Exceptional Value!!!!!
Considered the Camary and Accord..the Camary was as exciting to drive as a toaster and the Accord is becoming too common. This car beats the competition in performance, comfort, style and has a decidedly aggressive attitude the competition lacks! Its extremely responsive engine is backed up by an intuitive transmission that makes the driving experience both rewarding and involving! I've heard some complaints about interior materials or "Robbie The Robot" dashboard - I disagree! The materials are of high quality and the dash / ergonomics couldn't be better! Then there's the Infinity 8 speaker stereo system....in a word, WOW!!! I love this car and very glad to have purchased Mitsubishi!
