'07 Ralliart Joyride

2007 Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart V6 4dr Sedan (3.8L 6cyl 5A)

Review

Bought my '07 Ralliart used with 13k miles. Still own a '97 Galant ES with 161k on it (awesome reliability). Have to say, I am absolutely blown away with the Ralliart; it's the most fun I've ever had driving. This car just begs to get out and run in the left lane. Cruises along smooth as silk at 40, 60, 80 MPH. Interior is immaculate and I love the leather and the high quality feel of the dash pieces. Everything about the car just feels right. From the way it drives to the way it looks to the solid, high-quality feel of the controls, seats, and movable parts. Overall, this has to be the best car you never really hear much about. Buy one and you will not be disappointed.

Favorite Features

Exterior styling, sunset pearlescent paint, handling, Rockford Fosgate sound system, interior passenger space, trip computer (not navi), satellite radio. Being able to keep up with and pass all of those "high end" sport/lux sedans that get all the big press (and big $$).

Suggested Improvements

About 20HP more from same size engine, better city gas mileage, front seat headrests that reach out to support your head without having to lean back so far, telescoping steering wheel, fold-down back seat. These are all "nice -to-haves" though. This is an excellent car just the way it is.

Poor Paint Job

2007 Mitsubishi Galant DE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I bought this car in Oct. 2007 just before the winter. I noticed what looked like salt in front of the rear tires. When spring came and i washed the car, i noticed it was actually paint that was missing. The dealership contacted mitsubishi and submitted photos. They said it was due to "road wear" so they would not repaint my car even though it was only 6 months old. Shouldn't they use paint on their cars that can stand up to road wear? I have filed a complaint with the review board but haven't heard back yet. When i see another Galant in a parking lot, i always look and there is the same problem to some degree in the same place. I haven't owned the car for a year and it is rusting

Favorite Features

None

Suggested Improvements

Design the back panels so that they don't catch the sand/rocks from the front tires, which sandblasts the paint away. Big design flaw!

2007 Mitsubishi Galant SE 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I've been driving Galants ever since I first started driving and this is the best one yet! My first car was a '95 Galant, my second one was a '00, and now I currently drive the '07. All in all, I can honestly say that this is a GREAT car. PERIOD! Probably will be the only type of car I will ever drive (unless I hit the lottery or something, lol!) I get great gas mileage, handling is pretty good, it looks sharp, and rides very smooth. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Before I purchased my car, I test drove the Dodge Avenger, the Nissan Altima, and the Chevy Impala, looking for something different, and none of these other vehicles, in my opinion, could come close to the Galant.

Favorite Features

The blue lights at night, the rear view lights(on the SE models and up, nice paint, very comfortable seats, leg space, all 4 windows roll all the way down, radio controls on steering wheel, great gas mileage, trunk space, auto/manual transmission, futuristic look.

Suggested Improvements

Fold down back seats, a lock on club compartment, I-Pod jack, bluetooth capability, heated/cooled seats, heated/cooled cup holders(the one thing I loved about the Dodge Avenger), better radio display(should tell you what your listening to instead of just the station). Turning radius.

Review

This is by far the best car I've purchased. It handles very well. Lots of muscle and speed. The Sunset Pearlescent color turns a lot of heads. I'm keeping this one.

Favorite Features

I was first attracted to the color. My favorite are the safety features. Lots of airbags.

Review

I purchased this car about 5 days ago after reading numerous reviews and having a friend who currently owns one. I have it say it is great car. I also have a 06' Dodge Stratus that is horrible on gas and bucks on the road when you pass the second gear, so this is a great step up!

Favorite Features

Exterior, Dash, spacious

Review

I just bought the brand new 07 Galant ES with the sport package. Seems like it runs great so far, fun to drive, has a good amount of power for a 4 cyl., the dash lights look amazing at night! 360 watt rockford sound system sounds excellent. I had an 03 lancer before I got this car. This car is wayyy better than that was. Only thing wrong with the galant is the disc changer, something is wrong with the number 2 cd slot, but the dealership is putting a new one in for me so its all good. Go get yourself one, I recommend it!

Favorite Features

The dash lights look amazing at night! the rockford sound system sounds awesome. The autoshift feature is a sweet feature as well.

Suggested Improvements

Car seems like it kind of starts slow when you start it.

Review

I had a 2003 Gallant that ran beautifully for years, and this car is a significant upgrade from that one. If the reliability and durability is as good, I will be extremely happy with this purchase.

Favorite Features

Spaciousness of interior; leather seats.

Suggested Improvements

Sirius radio.

Review

I just bought this car and I love it. Easy to drive, feels sporty, stable on the road, easy on gas. Mitsubishi is big in Europe and underappreciated in USA. Excellent warranty and real eye pleaser. Looks like a BMW, drives like an Accord, costs like a Chevy!!

Favorite Features

Easy to drive, sporty looks, really roomy, nice interior, easy on gas (4 cylinder).

Suggested Improvements

More features as (heated seats, fold down back seats).

Highly Overrated!

2007 Mitsubishi Galant ES 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

I can't help but wonder if these positive consumer reviews are being posted by mitsubishi dealers themselves. This car is a dog' A nightmare to park for a sedan! it's as wide as a truck or a van with huge blind spots at the rear flanks. Important controls that would be regularly adjusted on a road trip are not illuminated at night. The front windshield has a nasty glare reflecting the chrome accents from the dashboard (too many chrome accents)you need sunglasses to protect your eyes from interior glare. I test drove this car at night or I would have caught this major design flaw and passed. The majority of interior space in this car is all in the rear seating area. Cannot recommend this car!

Favorite Features

Exterior Design, Sportronic Transmission, Blue Instrument Panel.

Suggested Improvements

Larger trunk space, folding rear seat, better turn ratio, alloy wheels should be standard, illuminated power window and sideview mirror controls.

2007 Mitsubishi Galant ES 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 4A)

Review

This car is a bargain with a capital "B". I got mine with the sport package (alloy wheels, Rockford stereo w/changer and steering wheel controls, Sirius, spoiler and upgraded lights, security system). Handling is regarded as the best of the mid-sizers and the seats and legroom are fantastic (and I'm 6'3"). Another 20 hp would be nice, but hey, I'm getting 27 mpg with a city/hwy mix and it's peppy enough for most driving. The stereo is just unbelievable and the manual shift mode is f-u-n.

Favorite Features

Rockford stereo, manumatic transmission, ice-blue dash lighting, great styling in and out. The pearl paint is as nice as a Cadillac CTS, the polished alloys are great looking.

Suggested Improvements

Real fold-down rear seat needed. Radio display needs to show MP3 and Sirius info. An iPod jack would be nice in this day and age without being a $200 dealer add-on.
