2011 Mitsubishi Galant SE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
not a bad buy for the money as you get all the toys that come with much more expensive cars
Underrated and overlooked

2011 Mitsubishi Galant SE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)
Tired of seeing poor "cookie cutter, professional" reviews for this car. This is actually an excellent car and is my 2nd, new Galant (owned an '05 and now my '11). After 180,000 miles of driving the 2011, I've only replaced one set of tires, front rotors/pads and the battery. My only gripe would be that these cars only have a small pass-through from the trunk into the passenger … compartment (no fold down rear seats) and that both my galants warped the front rotors after about 25k miles, but after installing a replacement set of slotted/crossdrilled rotors/pads on the '11 - I've had no problem after that. I've enjoyed the car and continue to drive it daily with the only maintenance performed (outside of the typical oil/filter/air-filter changes) was that I changed the balancer shaft & timing belts, water pump/idler pulleys & accessory belt at 120,000mi. (required by the manual) and did it myself - that's it! The SE has heated seats, remote start, backup camera, navigation, among other things and has a really nice vehicle monitoring/display system. Too bad this car has been overlooked and underrated by the "professional reviewers". I like driving something different and it stands out among the sea of Camrys and Accords. Everything on this car continues to work and function as the day I bought it - very impressed! Too bad they don't make the Galant anymore.
12/3/20(Update)- Just surpassed 215,000mi. and still going strong! Performed another timing belt change at 190k, replaced RH tie rod and ball joint, new battery and tires. No issues with original drivetrain and never a check-engine light. Going for 300k+
Great car for your money.

On my 3rd Galant in 15 years. My limit is $15000 (used). Can't be happier.
