- Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! TH-cam's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we will take an up close and personal in depth look at the final production year of the Mitsubishi Galant SE. This particular one being one of the most loaded Galants available. The Galant hasn't changed much since it's last major redesign except for a few refreshes, but it still remains a nice value for your dollar if you want an affordable sports sedan without silly frills. A great car for those old school drivers who would rather have less technology in a tight, reliable traveler. A 4cyl is its only powertrain option and produces smooth power and nice reliability scores. During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the car is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth reviews/tour of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of TH-cam!

It's a shame. They could have updated the Endeavor, Galant, and Eclipse and had some good sellers. They should have thought twice before discontinuing them.
You can't kill these cars! Love our Galant! We have a 2007 ES with the 2.4, 138,780 miles. Never one problem and it has been to hell and back.... Things have happened to this car that should never happen to a car hahaha!!!
I've got to say, I've never really been a Mitsubishi fan, but I really like the styling of the '04-'12 Galants
Styling of older galants are better
Why do I have a problem with it starting at times
Where is the antilock button located?
This car is a steal as a daily driver with its quick depreciation and overall great reliability. You can get a low mileage one for the low 10'000's and even though it's not the HIGHEST quality (cause it's not), routine maintenance and you'll be good for atleast ten years or more and that's all you can ask for.
smithsfan425 I bought the regular model it is a very smooth car
They also made these in Australia from 05 to 08. Made lots of changes. Was called Mitsubishi 380. Also great value used.
free agent I’m in the US, I envy the imports and Holden’s you guys have!
@@smithsfan425 don't. It's not as good as you think.
My 05 Galant has 230,000 and still runs strong! I love my car! No major issues except for catalytic converter
BoboyMac My dad put 500,000 on his 2012 Gallant. Though he had to get a new engine after 300,000 miles.
Galant almost has the same looking since 2004
you think that's a shocker, look up Nissan Frontier or Ford Econolin Van.
Still one of my all time favorite cars. The SE trim really looks nice and I love the mesh grille.
my dad had an 07 galant then gave it to my mom when he got a new car and it still works. why did they have to stop selling such good and reliable cars like this?
There are no recalls check for yourself I have a 2012 galant 43,000 miles no problems just did a new set of tires and brakes after a year 2 road trips super smooth no complaints here great on gad I upgraded the sound system 2 12s
I got a 2007 with 85000 miles never had any issues just kept maintaining...so very reliable cars....had the car since 10000 miles
I miss the galant
sir dabsalot me to
I’m getting one tomorrow! Really excited
Antoni na, there are better cars out there
So do I.
@@carguyns4348 well I like it because it’s just a simple sedan to get around, I don’t really care if it’s as good as the competitors, I just care that it’s reliable and runs lol
The Galant is a decent and reliable car for basic transportation. A few years ago I had an 09 as a rental for a week. Back in December when I bought a new car, I did give this car a chance but honestly Mitsu has not updated and refined this car since its original redesign in 2004 (mostly cosmetic changes). This car comes in dead last when compared to all other midsize cars it competes with. It is very loud too. I ended up getting a used 09 Mazda 6.
2011 is where the body has went way sleeker and skinnier for faster aerodynamics. Drives like a budget lamborghini. Feels like you're on the road forever. Literally
The best car I ever had
i miss my 05 es , had about 220k miles until it gave out
I owned a galant once and I loved it, there really underrated
This guy show you what ever you want about a car before you buy it.
You are the best thank you very much
These cars are tanks!! Love it and wouldn't trade it for anything! We have 126000 on it and not one check engine light or any repair. Ours has when to hell and back and is still running awesome, the exhaust for an I4 is amazing!! It maybe a little dated but no-one could beat its driving feel, so sporty!!
These were the coolest rims, that came on this car (the 2010s - 2011s).
I love galants. I've got a 2000 ES thats running on 190k miles, still running strong.
I purchased a Black 2012 Galant and love it! It is fun to drive and has an awesome music system. I got the upgraded SE package so the interior is much nicer than some of the "other cars". I live in NOVA work in DC so the commute is murder - I didn't want to spend a ton on a car that is worked so hard everyday. I don't like the looks of the Ford or Carolla and there are about a jillion Altimas on the road. It's not a Porsche, but it is sleek and sexy car that handles nicely and is reliable.
Hi here in 2020 to watch videos of my car lol love it to this day 💪🏼❤️
My Galant has not failed me yet, but then again, it only has 105,000 miles. :)
This is MIVEC, not YOURVEC.
*THIS IS MIVEC!*
I have the 2011 Galant SE, it is great car...love it so far!
Even though this body of Galant was introduced in 2004, it was pretty heavily freshened in 2009. It lost the "bird beak" front end, got a rear end re-design, and the c-posts were slightly modified, being a little bit thinner than on the '04-'08 models.
i never knew how beautiful this car was!
This is the only vehicle I would buy it Kyle.
One good car from Mit, which has always been underrated. Not a perfect machine, yet a good vehicle.
7:34 hells bells baby
Over 180,000 miles now and still no problems.
I bought a new 2012 Galant SE a couple months ago, and I love it so far. My wife has a 2009 Toyota Camry LE that we paid about the same price for (about $20K), and the Galant has so many more features for the same money. My only beef with the car is that the acceleration is a tad sluggish, but other than that, it's awesome.
@ 7:45 the sunroof already has a built-in pop-up wind deflector, so the "optional" smoke-colored plastic piece on top of the car is not needed.
They seriously need to redesign this thing now. A new one would be awesome!
With the SE trim it’s definitely slept on
I got the 2004 version for 9 grand with less than 5,000 miles. Best investment I've made, it runs very smoothly :)
FrankApple12 Thats pretty good, for how much?
9 grand
Had a brand new 2009 galant sport edition. I loved that car! Was extremely reliable and drove really well. Only problem was the four gear transmission and the lack of folding back seats. Otherwise it was the perfect car. I had it for five years before i moved onto a 328i bmw. The 328i was superior in everything, but reliability was horrible compared to the galant. I still have the bmw for almost 8 years now(in december it will be 8 years). I stay on top of the maintenance, but if i wasnt a car guy, id say the galant was way better than the bmw! I still find myself looking at 9g galants every few months. Its a shame they got discontinued.
They were quite shite after the 2000s
These are awesome values. I found one like this a few months back for 20 grand!
hey kyle. that is my dream car!!!
The Galant has remained almost unchanged in the American market since 2004. According to Wikipedia, the 380 was "a localized version...[that] replaced the long-lived Magna line." It was produced from 2005-08 in Australia/New Zealand. The American Galant is produced in the US.
Car is sportier than people think as it has sportronic manual shift as well an engine design to maximize low end torque(long stroke, tuned intake runners, single camshaft, vvt intake). The 4 gear, sportronic transmission means you only need to shift down one gear for a lot more power while cruising.
I love that Car!
I love this car. A friend of mine has a 07 and with 130K miles hes never had a problem and he dogs the crap out of it all the time. A very reliable car.
Way to keep 2004 aliveish in 2012. Like the nissan frontier.
This car looks very sporty with those wheels.
That steering wheel is straight out of the early 2000's!
Hele mooie auto 👍
8:55- a bit dated, but it gets the job done. and as weird as it may seem, the song fantasy girl by 38 special plays through the cars audio system as he Saabkyle04 navigates the various menus...the vibe presented, seems to be fitting or may be too fitting...just my opinion...BTW nice review Saabkyle04 on this Gallant!
Thanks for the vid, I'm thinking about buying one of these. This gen of Galant was a little homely when it was introduced in 2004, but has gotten much better looking in recent years. As for the price, I've seen these things go for as little as $16K brand new.
WHY DO YOU ALWAY HAVE GOOD MUSIC PLAY!!!
DONT STOP BELIEVE IT!
I love the Galant. Great review!
The room, comfort, reliability and price can't be beat. Got mine brand new OUT THE DOOR price was $16,000. HALF OFF FROM CAMRY OR ACCORD.
I'd buy it! It looks like a steal at this price. The drivetrain is a little dated, but it seems to have good interior quality.
I always loved the Galant.
Really disappointed with Mitsubishi (at least in US) for not stepping their game up. Its vehicle lineup has been horrible and they could've remedied that to regain much of its customers. I say this as someone who liked Mitsubishis. Their mistakes:
1. Killing Galant and Eclipse without fixing those cars.
2. Stopping sales of Montero (Pajero/Shogun). It's clearly the better SUV than Endeavor ever was.
3. Focusing solely on EV without perfecting it. iMiEV isn't exactly a car one would like to buy and drive. Lancer, Colt and Mirage would make more sense as EVs.
4. Extremely slow model refresh cycles. They had the last gen Galant for a decade, Eclipse for 8 years and Lancer's also getting stale.
5. Base model of the cars too boring, limited and poorly engineered. Lancer's an example again.
Jabid21 number 6 = they killed the Lancer Evo and 3000GT!
Don't know why this car wasn't more popular.
A good measure of a car company's reliability is how many older ones you see on the road relative to the number produced. The Galant has never sold as well as the Camry, Accord, or Altima; but I still see many 10+ year old Galants still on the road. Hopefully mine will still be chuggin' away in 2022!
how's your galant?
How's your galant
how is it now?
Great vid as always Kyle!
Great video Kyle! Thanks for the video. Have a happy new year!
absolutely right, this car isnt inspiring in anyway, but man is it comfortable and more than keeps up with traffic. I rented this for 5 days in LA, A/C on 95% of the time, got more than 30 mpgs, Did 1300 miles in 4 days, didnt feel it at all. Im going to buy a used 2012 in a few months. I was very very impressed.
Mitsubishi is a very reliable car. I see old ones still driven out there. I like the galant in white. Its too bad the back seats dont fold down though but a great warranty too
True. I dont know why people say Mitsubishis are not reliable. I've seen Mitsus go MANY miles without a problem.
ahh, galants. beautiful
Beautiful Car.
Mitsubishi cars are of great quality. I own a galant and I can tell you that the all what makes a car in a galant is great. However, it just lacks the additional features. I think most galants do not have traction control or ABS brakes. The inside of the car also lacks the feel of luxury like the extra compartments above driver's head or radio (and other entertainment stuff) controls on the steering wheel. But many other cars in the same category lack these.
The problem with Mistu is the scandal it was involved in early 2000 in Japan. The had cover-ups on quality control issues, and some these issues caused accidents and people getting killed. Once the story was out, the media had fun and went on to report every single accident on the road where a mitsu was involved in it.
One thing to note, NONE of the cars which had quality issues were sold in the US. The quality problems were limited to their pick up truck line-up (Fuso).
My car has 170,000 miles on it and it is running smooth...very comparable to my friend's car which is a 2009 camry.
This is good to know, as I found one of these used and my grandma is looking for a car to replace her 1998 Buick LeSabre.
ena81xx the controls are actually on the back of the steering wheel ( on both sides ). So that you can change the volume and change the songs with your fingers. At first I don't notes that the buttons where there, because are not visible at all on the front of the steering wheel.
Another unfortunate scandal that hit Mitsubishi is the scandal of them being involved with the Yakuza in the late 1990's. Despite the rather despicable actions of the Yakuza; they actually have their good side as well. In the aftermath of the January 17, 1995 earthquake in Kobe as well as after the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan; the Yakuza secretly helped out with relief efforts by anonymously distributing food, water, medical supplies, toiletries, etc. They also managed to stop any would-be looters after these disasters. Their reason for these actions is that they wanted to say to Japan and the world is that they weren't these evil gangsters and they wanted to help their fellow citizens during Japan's darkest hours. After the Kobe earthquake; the Kobe city council was extremely hesitant about asking for help from the national government. In fact; help from Federal government of Japan took two days to arrive from Tokyo. This angered the citizens of Kobe.
People who overlooked the Galant really lost something, and I'm talking about the GTS, for that I had one. Looks-wise it might not be better than Accord or Taurus or whatever other mid-size sedan, but consider that you can get a full-option 3.8L GTS for $1500 more than a mid-spec 2.5 Altima, plus other nice things like traction, manual shifter, a much powerful engine plus other trinkets inside for much cheaper which could set you back a fuckton of money in any other midsize sedan.
I can't believe they're still making this. Hasn't this car been out since 2004?
I guess Mitsubishi is determined to please the 7 or 8 people every year that still buy this car.
Mitsubishi is still here in the US? Bless their heart.
My first Mitsubishi I owned was a one owner mint condition just over 100k mile 2002 Diamante I bought a few years back. Out of over 60 cars I've had, I really to this day regret selling it to carmax for nothing. I just bought a 128K mile 2005 Galant GTS with the 3.8 V6. Such nice driving cars, very zippy and nimble on the highway. It seems everyone that actually owns one raves about them.
@saabkyle04 I find your reviews more informative than any other reviewers INCLUDING Top Gear.
really good car with strong performance
Actually these Galants are legendary for longterm reliability, going well over 200,000 miles with minimal care and basic maintenance.
looks like a decent car!
Love your reviews! I know that you already reviewed the Acura MDX, but I was wondering if you could review a newer version maybe 07 or 08. I wanted to buy one of those but I would like to see the whole package. Thanks
I hope the new Galant will come 2015.
The Start up and engine sound just like my 2000 Galant, and its 13 years old.
I have a 09 galant. Its been a great car
Great car
The car is great for a first time buyer
i really like the looks of this mitsubishi and 9 miles holy cow brand new :)
I like how you include night illumination!
In the last 3 years, I have only seen 1 Mitsubishi Galant in my city. Thats how bad these things are selling, but again I dont blame people for not buying it when there are much better alternatives
always liked this car
Happy New Year!!
nice review!
This car might be dated, but I love the dark wood accents with the black leather.
@U17P That's not gasoline coming out of the tailpipe .. its water, all cars do it when cold
I know that they sell a different BMW looking Galant here in Asia but I never knew it still existed! So far since they launched the last generation in 2006 or 2007, I've only seen TWO.
galant vr4 was the best of them all
I have the 2005 Mitsubishi galant Limited is a beast
The car is like 10 yrs behind the time. But good video tour.
This is a really nice car. I have one myself same color and everything but mine is a 2011.
Nice car seems to have a good package for the money.
2 years ago I bought a 3.8L Galant and love the car. I was looking into other comparable models (Nissan Altima, Honda Accord, Mazda 6 Ultra) and found out that, compared to the Galant (full options, had everything including the screen, traction control, rearview camera, Rockford audio and leather seats), the Altima (3.5L) was $7k more expensive and the Accord a whopping $10k more. The Mazda was only slightly more expensive, but imo the engine is way too small for a midsize sedan, made the car really sluggish. The trade-off is, of course, the looks, but then remember how many people bought fucking Nissan Jukes, which are uglier than Pontiac Aztek.
I love mitsubishi car
I like this car the diamante and Mazda 929
Hey Mitsubishi - Don't Stop Believin'...
im in australia and they used to be made here until 2008, they were called the 380, where are they made now?
Mitsubishi needs to invest more in its cars. They used to be so cool, not so much anymore with the exception of the Evo.
holy shit ... a car with a key!
the 2004-present Mitsubishi Galant/ Mitsubishi Grunder (Taiwan)/ Mitsubishi 380 was/is assembled in
Okazaki, Aichi (2004-2006)
Tonsley Park, Australia (2004-2008)
Normal, United States (2004-present)
Indonesia
nice car Kyle!
