There is very little to the 2007 Mitsubishi Galant that holds it back, but what little that is does keep it from joining with its rivals in the class of family sedans at the very front. It’s not a bad car–nowhere near it. But it’s list of features is shorter than others and it isn’t as practical as a family car should be. Still, seating four it is spacious front to back, fun to handle, and fared great on crash tests scores.
The Good:
- fun to drive
- great handling
- did well on crash tests
- great audio options
- powerful V6 engine
- well designed
- comfortable
The Bad:
- no manual transmission
- no stability control
- little room for cargo in cabin
- back seat doesn’t fold
- cheap interior
