Add your own review or comments

Summary

The Mitsubishi Galant compares very well with the best mid-size sedans. The Galant offers a pleasant blend of quiet operation, plentiful power, lots of standard equipment, excellent assembly quality, room for five, and standout good looks at a competitive price.
