Overview & Reviews
For 2006, the Mitsubishi Galant receives only minor updates. There are new wheel designs, some interior trim refinements, standard antilock brakes for the ES trim and a new tire-pressure monitoring system for ES, LS and GTS trim levels (when fitted with alloy wheels).
- Excellent balance between ride quality and handling, strong V6, stylish and comfortable cabin, high crash test scores, superb Infinity sound system.
- No manual transmission or rear-occupant side airbags, some interior materials feel cheap, not enough in-cabin storage, no folding rear seat.

A little bit of everything... - 2006 Mitsubishi Galant
By ½mv² - May 3 - 6:23 pmI bought the car without ever test driving it - I didnt even like the way it looked. I used to own an Avalon XLS, which was the biggest and baddest luxury car I had ever seen. I also owned a 1993 twin turbo RX7, which outran and outhandled everything but the Corvette Z06. In February 06 I got in a crash that cost me both cars. I needed a car quick, and I didnt have time to shop around so I looked for the best deal I could get on a reliable ride. Ive had the car for less than a week and I already love it. The car glides along highways and satifies the desire for a luxury-car-feeling, yet locks down tight onto the road when you get the burning desire to rip around a 90 degree turn at 30 mph.

Great Alternative to Keeping up with the Jones - 2006 Mitsubishi Galant
By jkbolson - March 16 - 1:53 pmThe 2006 Mitsubishi Galant ES is a really a great vehicle. The 4-cylinder engine has more power than some of the other cars we have ever owned. I am really glad not to see too many in our area. I truly love being unique.

Back slip problem - 2006 Mitsubishi Galant
By n ancy - August 12 - 8:00 amThis is my second Galant 1st was 2003 just purchased 2006. Love the improvements made to the newer model, but my 2006 backslips when on an incline. Brought back to the dealer and was told thats just how the car is and it was because the rpm werent as high as the 2003 model.

GTS Fan - 2006 Mitsubishi Galant
By Ohio Owner - April 12 - 8:56 amReally like this GTS model-fun to drive, smooth ride after some new tires were put on and handles great for a sedan. Interior is put together well and very comfortable-best Mitsu Ive had.

I am Queen of the Road - 2006 Mitsubishi Galant
By Miss Penny - February 18 - 10:46 amI love my Galant! It chose me at the dealership-I didnt choose it. I didnt even test drive it--I simple drove it away and you have been unable to catch me ever since. It handles great and I havent had any problems at all with it. It is very fast (or maybe thats just me) I got a lot of bang for a little buck. Used with 22000 miles it was practically brand new. Ill never give it up!

A Great Buy - 2006 Mitsubishi Galant
By Mike Smith - December 10 - 9:06 pmThis is my second Galant and I really like the improvements over the 2001 model. The seating is more comfortable and the car has lots of power for a 4-cylinder. The controls are well placed and convenient. The bold Mitsubishi design is a welcome change from the mediocre designs of the competition.

Great car for the price - 2006 Mitsubishi Galant
By dscarchick - August 12 - 2:50 pmI bought my used Galant 6 months ago and so far its been the most reliable car Ive owned. Its the first import Ive owned as well. Very comfortable to drive and I get 29 mpg with the 6 cylinder engine. Granted, it isnt a German luxury car but if your looking for an affordable used car with a good reputation, this is it. I like it so much in fact, im going to buy a 2012 model when my financial situation improves. I was bummed to hear 2012 was the last year but who knows, maybe Mitsubishi will make a new full size car with similar features. Overall, a good buy.

Excellent 4 Door Sport Sedan - 2006 Mitsubishi Galant
By JDeauseault - April 4 - 10:46 amMy driving experience has been excellent: good road feel, firm, not stiff or jarring ride. I would and will buy Mitsubishi vehicles from now on due to this being my 4th purchased from the manufacturer. All have had the same qualities: excellent fit and finish, above average powertrains with power and efficiency, outstanding, unique styling (many compliments from friends and strangers alike).
