Reader’s Question:

I’ve seen Hondas & Toyotas. I’d like to see if the Galant can meet my requirement as a value-for-money sedan here in Texas. What can you tell me about it?

Hey there, Todd! If you’re in the market for a value-for-money sedan, then the 2009 Galant could be a good choice for you. I will suggest that you test drive one once you visit your Mitsubishi dealer there in Texas. Although it may not look much compared to Acuras and Lexus models, the Galant is a very practical car to drive. After all, Mitsubishi’s rally-bred cars are always fun to drive and usually packed with some “oomph” once you press on the accelerator.

If you are someone who regularly drives people around, rest easy because the Galant can seat 5 people comfortably. Either you pack in the family or your friends for a ride around town, the Galant can ably do that. You can ably do that with a choice from 4 trims. The ES and Sport Edition (SE) both come with a 2.4 Liter MIVEC engine with 160 hp performance. The V6 trims are the Sport V6, with 230 hp and Ralliart with about 258 horsepower. Mitsubishi also took care of passenger comfort by providing automatic climate controlled air-conditioning and cruise control as standards. For safety, all trims have Anti-lock brakes and electronic brakeforce distribution, and front airbags, side-impact air bags and even side curtain airbags. That’s like being engulfed by airbags once you get into an accident.

Reader’s Question:

The Mitsubishi Endeavor, is it a car or an SUV? Whatever it is, can you give me some pointers before I go to my Mitsubishi dealer here in Texas?

The Mitsubishi Endeavor is a car or SUV…make that crossover worth testing out, Morgan. I’m sure that the looks and power or overall performance will satisfy your needs in Texas.

You can like the Endeavor by looking at it in several angles. In terms of power and utility, the two trims of the Endeavor, the LS and SE, are both powered by a 3.8 Liter V6 that generates about 225 horsepower and about 265 lb-ft of torque. With this kind of muscle, you can haul some more gear and people on weekend out of town trips. There are options to go either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive depending on what you’d like to come with your Endeavor. My choice is to go with the all-wheel drive and my reason follows. In terms of handling, since the Endeavor is a crossover, it is a given that it can handle like a car. Mitsubishi made sure of that by providing stability control system to its all-wheel drive models. Once we talk of safety, the Endeavor comes equipped with Anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, front airbags and front and rear curtain airbags. It even has a 5-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
