 My Ford Econoline conversion van broke down for the last time in August 2004.  I needed something to drive that day so I had my daughter take me to the nearby Carmax store.  I was going to buy a used car that was safe and that would get better mileage than my van.  After looking at several used vehicles with limited warranties, the salesman told me about the Galants that they sold that were new and had great warranties and prices.  The styling did not blow me away but it was alright.  The test drive was ok so I went with it.  23,000 miles later I've come to really appreciate this car.  It's comfortable, reliable, has a solid ride, and reasonably good looking.
