The New 2009 Galant
Mitsubishi has done it again! The 2009 Mitsubishi Galant takes the average sedan, and adds a sporty aurora to it, making it actually fun to drive.The first thing you’ll notice when looking at the Galant is the redesigned nose and tail. The front has a chrome grill, halogen headlights, and now fog lights. The tail has a wider rear window, redesigned taillights and a rear spoiler.
We all know that looks aren’t everything, its what’s inside that counts You can have a choice of three engines, the ES and Sport Edition have a 160–horsepower 2.4–liter MIVEC engine that gets 27 mpg on the highway. The Sport V6 ups the ante with a 230–horsepower, 250 lb.-ft, of torque, 3.8–liter V6. For you power hungry enthusiasts, the Ralliart has a 258–horsepower with 258 lb.-ft of torque, 3.8–liter MIVEC V6.
The engine and the body aren’t the only things that make a great car; you must also have a great interior. The Galant has that with is 7” touch screen navigation system. To go along with all of the goodies, you’re going to want to ride in comfort. The Sport Edition has fabric heated front seats and an 8–way power driver’s seat. The Galant also comes standard with climate control and a steering wheel with built–in audio controls.
Of course, to have a great sports sedan, you must also be safe. The Galant has anti–lock brakes (ABS) with electronic brake–force distribution (EBD). It also has dual front airbags with side impact airbags, and side front and rear curtain airbags.
The new 2009 Galant is an awesome sports sedan.
