Normal used cars news: Mitsubishi Galant continues to impress drivers everywhere - Autos - Cars

Mitsubishi has seemed to blend in with many of the other foreign car offerings in the last few years, with no models that seemed to stand out among the smorgasbord. But the staff at your dealer of Normal used cars believes that the new Mitsubishi Galant will impress drivers all around.

But this Japanese auto maker has watched and learned. Now they have implemented changes into the new Galant that will wow consumers and have us asking "Why didn't we notice this model before?" Mitsubishi made the fifth generation Galant with the U.S. market in mind. That meant increasing the engine size and the interior space.

For those who want bargain price and don't mind giving up some of the flashy features, the Galant is an excellent choice. When buying a used car, Bloomington, IL buyers should check out the options in pre-owned Mitsubishi models.

The Galant is a mid-sized sedan and comes in two trim levels. The ES, base, and the SE. With the ES you will get power features, CD player and air conditioning. Up to the Sports Edition and it comes with a rearview camera, automatic climate control, heated front seats, power driver's seat, alloy wheels and some styled trim, Bluetooth and a better sound system. If you want a bit of luxury you can opt for leather seating, iPod connection, and remote ignition.

Customers of Normal used cars will be happy with the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with four-speed automatic transmission. The fuel economy will suffice, but it won't win any green awards.

When looking for the best buy in a used Mitsubishi, the 2004 was the debut for this generation of Galant, and it was a competitive car at the outset. Though it will be reasonably-priced, the fuel economy is nothing to rave about. In 2006 a four-cylinder SE model came along with leather seating and automatic climate control.

The 2007 model came with a five-speed and in 2007 the Ralliart was launched, it was a high-performance version featuring a 3.8-liter V6. But the Ralliart came, the GTS went. For 2009 the Galant received a mini makeover with new taillights and a redesigned grille. The DE trim was done away with and the Sports Edition entered.

So, while the history of the Galant is many and varied even in the past decade, there isn't one model that particularly shines. All are reliable. Some are flashier than others, and some more powerful. The common denominator is the great price.

Buyers of used cars in Bloomington, IL will have no trouble finding a new or pre-owned Mitsubishi to fit their budgets. You might even stumble onto a "vintage" previous generation Galant from the 90s - very hip.
