The Galant Mitsubishi still has virtues

For 2010, Mitsubishi eliminated the sporty Ralliart and Sport trims from the Galant stable, and dropped an available V6 engine. That leaves the Galant with just a standard four-cylinder powerplant. That isn’t necessarily a problem -- many reviewers recommend that affordable midsize sedan buyers focus their attention on four-cylinder cars, since the added expense and lower fuel-economy of a V6 are rarely worthwhile at this price point. But reviewers say Mitsubishi’s four cylinder is less powerful and refined than the four-cylinders offered by many competitors
