Roomy for four, enjoyable to drive and backed by impressive crash test scores, the 2008 Mitsubishi Galant is a family sedan with spirit and style. However, when compared to its chief rivals, the Galant fades into the background as it's lacking in practicality, build quality and a few key features.

• Pros

Excellent balance between ride quality and handling, strong V6, stylish and comfortable cabin, excellent crash test scores, superb Rockford Fosgate sound system.

• What's New for 2008

The Mitsubishi Galant's GTS trim level is dropped for 2008 and its equipment spread out to the other trim levels. The four-cylinder SE model has been dropped as well. There are now only two engines available: the base four-cylinder and the Ralliart's larger V6.
