 Excellent acceleration for a 4- banger.  Wish the MPG were a bit better, have been averaging 22 miles with combo driving.  It's been freezing here in MN so I'm hoping the MPG will tick up a bit in the spring/summer.   Drivers seat is very comfortable and has great leg room (I'm 6'1, 220 lbs).  Rear leg room space is great but the seats are a bit low.  My 10 yr old has starting using her booster seat again in order to see out the window better.  Purchased new, the 2009 Galant ES was $22K.  I purchased mine a couple weeks ago with 49k miles for $9991...not too shabby!!!
