The 2010 Mitsubishi Galant is still attractive, but not so impressive as in the past, this due to the carelessness of the manufacturer and a great competition.
The Mitsubishi Galant in its latest edition can be termed incomplete it because there are details that were left in the past, the level of the material is cheap looking and just wanted the company to focus its efforts on compact models such as the Lancer , or simply promote electric units as the i-MiEV. The strategy of the Japanese is so evident, it is no surprise to observe cuts trim level has the Galant to the point of eliminating several optional packages.
