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.
