The Mitsubishi Galant represents a viable option when considering mid-size sedans. It does everything reasonably well and is enjoyable to drive.

The Galant is a front-wheel drive sedan that comes in four trims: ES, Sport Edition, Sport V6, and Ralliart. The ES and Sport Edition models are powered by a 160 horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a four-speed Sportronic automatic transmission. The Sport V6 and Ralliart trims both use a 3.8-liter V6 engine teamed with five-speed Sportronic automatic transmission, with the Sport V6 producing 230 horsepower and the Ralliart 258 horsepower. A number of package options are available to add more first-rate features to the Galant.

The 2009 Mitsubishi Galant receives new interior stylings on all levels, and new exterior stylings such as color-keyed side mirrors, door handles, and rear spoiler (excluding ES trim).
