Mitsubishi Galant Overview

Like so many midsize sedans, the Mitsubishi Galant has suffered from its market proximity to the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. With those two dominating the scene, it's hard to avoid anonymity.

We think that's unfortunate, because the 1999 Mitsubishi Galant compares well when measured against the Accord and Camry. Completely redesigned, the new Galant is quieter, smoother, and more refined in every respect compared to the previous model. Now, for the first time, the lineup offers the option of a V6 engine, providing power parity previously absent.

We drove the new Galant ES V6, which falls in the middle of the Galant range.
