Used 2009 Mitsubishi Galant ES 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Superb Value
Excellent acceleration for a 4- banger. Wish the MPG were a bit better, have been averaging 22 miles with combo driving. It's been freezing here in MN so I'm hoping the MPG will tick up a bit in the spring/summer. Drivers seat is very comfortable and has great leg room (I'm 6'1, 220 lbs). Rear leg room space is great but the seats are a bit low. My 10 yr old has starting using her booster seat again in order to see out the window better. Purchased new, the 2009 Galant ES was $22K. I purchased mine a couple weeks ago with 49k miles for $9991...not too shabby!!!
Better than the reviews I've read
I've had a 98 Jeep Wrangler for a decade. So moving to a sedan is an upgrade in most ways. Interior, styling, ride, acceleration; ALL are an improvement for me. I know a Camry or Accord might be better outfitted, but so far, I'm digging it. It is at once distinctive AND doesn't call attention to itself. 2009 restyle fixes design incongruities from earlier models. 4 cyl engine does much better than I thought it would. I'm very pleased. If you are moving from a lesser car you won't have many complaints. I test drove a 2010 Kia Optima before this one, and the 2009 Galant kicks its behind. But then, I guess it should. Love it right now. We'll see if I feel the same after 9 years.
Very reliable vehicle
Bought the car with 34k miles , now have 80k miles and still drives the same. The only maintenance performed have been oil changes and front brake pads once. Drives great on highways and passes other cars easily. Five speed speedtronic comes handy on snow days. great car for everyday commuter.
I love my Mitsubishi
I bought this 2009 galant used in 2011. 80000 miles at time of purchase.Paid 12 thousand dollars for it. I still have her now with 200000+miles. I drove this car all over America and she still runs amazing! And shes got balls too lol. I was told by many people 10 years ago if i kept up with the regular maintenance on this car it could run a long time. And they were right! So get regular oil changes, never let your gas get below a quarter tank. And dont be afraid to press down on that peddle. I know so many people who purposely he's in two speeding up because they think it's better for the car but every car I've owned I haven't drove it recklessly but I put my foot down when I'm trying to go and my cars of all lasted a really long time it ran great maybe it's my good luck maybe it's not I don't know. The only complained that I have about the car is that it is a very basic model meaning it only comes with a CD player and a radio no auxiliary and not too many features inside the car there's no keyless entry on mine.

Good contender
This is my first Mitsu. Ive been driving it for about 2 months now in summer weather on both city and highway. Im combining about 25 MPG on 91 octane gas, which I think is great due to the elements. The car feels sturdy and 2.4 MIVEC engine picks up well on sportronic mode. It has a roomy interior and comfortable front and back seats. The controls are well laid out for easy access on the go. It comes with high performance all season tires which comes handy on the east coast changing seasons. This car is great buy! Everything sums up to a comfortable, reliable, spacious, sporty fun vehicle to drive. I would recommended this vehicle to a small to mid size family looking for a 4 door sedan.
