Comments
Favorite feature:	Rear windows roll all the way down
Least favorite feature:	Driver seat hight adjustment a bit to stiff, I recommend the power seats. Also, the trunk area is not that large.
Advice to buyer:	Get the V6 (170hp) if you can afford it, otherwise, you won't be dissapointed with the 4 cylinder engine (140hp)
Detailed review:	I have had the 4 cylinder Galant for just over a month now (1800 miles already) and I still like it. It's looks are top notch. Handling is excellent, and the ride is so smooth, even smoother than some other V6 cars. I also love the quiet cabin at cruising speed. One thing that many reviewers overlooked to mention is the high quality body of this vehicle, it is very hard (the cast iron that makes the body is thiker I think than other Japanese cars), this gives it more weight and thus, the car is very stable. I have driven my Galant at 118 mph and you don't feel your speeding, and the cabin is very quiet (rpm was at 4750 at this speed). Even at the maximum rpm of 6000 the engine sound is suppressed and you just hear a pleasant humming sound which reminds you that the engine is working to give you your requested torque!
