The 2007 Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart falls short as a sport-tuned sedan, and its cabin electronics are a mixed bag. We love its efficient engine, and its stereo is fun for blasting loud rock and roll. But torque steer and lack of refinement bring it down.
Mitsubishi tuned up its Galant sedan, a Camry-competitor, into the Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart. The sport-tuning includes a more rigid suspension and a more powerful engine.
The taillight covers include translucent molding at the top that continues the spoiler line from the trunk lid. This touch reminds us of concept cars at auto shows.
White racing gauges are another cue that the Galant Ralliart is intended for sport driving. Indicators on the fuel and temperature gauge show what the automatic transmission is doing.
The engine in this car uses Mitsubishi's MIVEC variable valve timing. It's a big, 3.8-liter V-6 that puts out 258 horsepower--yet it got 22.1 mpg in our testing.
