 I had a 2000 Galant before this, that my Niece still drives, the 2.4 motor is a good compromise of power and economy at 168 hp, the mileage is so so for midsize averaging about 26. The interior is not as nice as a Honda or Toyota, but the car is as reliable. It has many features for the price, and the car handles really well. although the car can give a choppy ride on bumpy roads, and is not as comfortable, except for 5 passengers is the most comfortable for a midsize car and better interior rooms then its competitor. There price can be really low compared to Honda and Toyota used. The model was discontinued in 2012.
