Happy so far
I bought this car w/ 16mi. on the odo. And put just under 2k to so far. I really like the front grille and tail lights for 09. I'm about 6'1" and it fits me perfectly. I had a 02 Eclipse and 00 Linc Continental. This Galant is perfectly wedged between those cars in terms of performance, ride quality, features, gas mileage and size. The Galant gets me from A to B with good sound from the 140w system, decent pep when passing hwys, great safety features.
First new car
After 3 used cars, the 09 Galant became my first new one and I love it! I came out of a 98 Galant and what a difference. I've racked up over 12000 miles in 5 months so I have a good feel for all aspects of the car's performance. I could nitpick and agree about the lower quality plastic interior and stuff, but that's not what I rely on to get me around town. The interior is driver friendly, spacious, and comfortable in any type climate. It pulls well going up mountains, downshifts nicely in bad weather and has smooth acceleration. I would wish for a few more horses on those short on ramps, but otherwise, it has plenty of get up and go.
Pleasantly Surprised
Before I test drive my Galant, I had preconceived notions about the Mitsubishi brand. I'd always heard that they were unreliable, underpowered, and boring. But, once I put my foot on the gas, all of that flew out the window. The 2.4L has plenty of power, and has more pickup than my previous car, a 1999 Saab 9-3 turbo, even though it has less horsepower. The Galant rides perfectly on the highway, with some wind noise that some of my other cars didn't have. But, it handles better than I could have expected. Braking, accelerating, and cruising are all top notch.
The car drives like a dream
The car drives like a dream. I cant think of anything that I don't like about this car - very sporty looking starting with the grill to the tail lights they look like the Lexus tail lights. As far as the engine - lots more power than the previous 4cyl plenty of power. I can't think of anything out there that can compare. Overall a very nice car for your money...
Ralliart
Nice little sport tuned 4 door sedan. Quick and responsive engine. It possesses sporty exterior and interior look. Very real on the streets. Excellent car for your money and one of the best warranties for a sports car.
Value plus
I just picked mine up today. After you factor price, 10 yr 100000 mile warranty, then Toyota, Nissan and Honda just don't make sense. So far, I've enjoyed driving it around. It's comfy and the 4 cylinder feels as good as any on the market. If you are in the market for a comfortable, modestly priced, long term family vehicle, not another run of the mil "Camry" like the neighbors, then buy this car.
Best Bang for the Buck
I am a car guy. I bought the Ralliart used surprisingly. It looks great, drives and is simply a rocket ship. The Liquid Silver is a great paint and the wheels are nice. Leather is comfortable. The Navi is okay with accuracy but the features of the Navi and radio are terrific. My wife even enjoys the ride of the car. Winter is almost here and I'm curious to see how it handles snow. I am averaging between 420-450 miles a fill up.
The most UNDERRATED car on the market
For the price, this car will take on Toyota, Nissan, Honda and all. Best price period? YES. Ride, comfort, room.This is my first Mitsubishi and it won't be my last. They have a customer for life. The power of this 4 cyl will fly. Mileage is 26 in town. This car is rated at the top.
Ralliart Fun
We owned a Mitsubishi Diamante VRX 03 model and were looking to replace it after 5 years of trouble free driving, and found out the Diamante was discontinued. The other car makes were all test driven and some stood out more than others, like the Passat and Maxima sedans, and then my wife and I drove the 09 Gallant Ralliart. Well it rekindled our love for Mitsubishi with the build quality in the car plus the wonderful 258 horsepower 3.8 MIVEC engine and sport shift automatic transmission. All we can say is we recieved more for our money and fun for our dollar!
2009 Mitsubishi Galant Sport Edition
This is a fantastic car! I can't complain about anything at all. I've never liked a car as much as I like this one; it's fierce!
