This 2009 Mitsubishi Galant ended up with it's current owner the way we'd imagine most Galants end up with their owners: as a hand-me down. Determined to make lemonade, Daniel added a set of coil overs, improved the brakes, and added an exhaust.
Check it out on Wheelwell!
"It's just a Galant." An enthusiastic owner who also doesn't sugar coat it. Nice.
I like these One Takes with average people's cars.
it's always nice to see someone who loves what he's got but doesnt make excuses for why it's not fast. he knows it's slow but he's having fun with it and making it his own. great video.
garf117 thank you! we all start somewhere
garf117 ye
Do more shit cars please
Hectic mods ! I love the shit cars
fuck off this Galant line is legendary
Hectic mods ! Shit cars are good cars
Yes, please! 100% agree! I get much more excited when I see a thumbnail like this compared to the last couple! And why else post more? BECAUSE WE'LL WATCH! LOL
You mean a normal car. 😐
"Its a Gallant!"
Kevin Nieves don't forget the voice crack...
Wes Hughes Lol yeah, cool episode tho. The guy was knowledgeable and engaging.
no. more like annoying
I came to the comments looking specifically for this comment. Second one down, so good
Read right as he side.
honestly i think id rather see cars like this more than cars like a McLaren lol
Brandon Metroff Guitar Yup! the stories behind them makes you appreciate it more, plus it's way more interesting lol cheers
Kyle Noray also the majority of us can afford to modify a car like this over a 6 figure exotic.
upload2014 Exactly bro! someone can actually consider getting one of these as opposed to "Damn I wish I could afford that." 👌 excellent point
Brandon Metroff Guitar yes its a car we can relate to not everyone owns a McLaren.
Brandon Metroff Guitar yeah I usually don't look at the super cars. They're boring. It's fast we get it. I like these odd balls, weird cars.
Galant is a very underrated commuter / daily driver car
Is it me or are the drivers of the cheap cars super down to earth and funny and the drivers of cars over $60,000 mostly super weird quiet and terrible in front of a camera?
Brandon Harlow
True Story brah. When you're middle class or lower you appreciate shit more because you know you had to work your ass of for it.
Spoonzaza especially cars like this. Yknow what I’ve driven that’s thrown me in my seat and gone “wow this is quick!!” Literally anything over 230hp. I had fun driving my 140hp focus and hell, I enjoy my 125hp 5MT elantra. Fun is subjective
This kid is funny. "You are going more agressive than I would. I'm in the passenger seat, but you are doing really good." lol
My Galant has 214k miles and still runs amazing💪
I know it’s a long shit commenting considering this was years ago. Do you have tips on maintaining it? I have an ‘07 galant right now and i’m getting the brake system and suspension system replaced rn. 140k miles
@@KMBSoloProductions I have the 2009 Galant with 233k and it runs like a champ. Not one hiccup off oil changes every 3-months and Lucas fuel injector cleaning every 2-months been my secret.
@@realrecognizewill9350 im looking at one that has 220k miles it says it was properly maintained and they dont want much for it should it be worth it?
@@coronaA146 Private Seller vaule is around $2,800 on the Kelly. Japanese engines are different in a good way in my experience. It's a nice mid sport sedan in my opinion. Fast and sturdy but strong enough to take a hit 💯
I have 175,000 miles on mine. Only done timing belts. And I drive the shit out of it
Mines got 145,000 and same just the timing belt
Mine has 224000 and I whip it
My 06 galant 2.4 mivec has 183k miles still a beast!
Drove mine like a fuckwit until 300,000 kms. Didn't change the oil as much I would now and only did the cambelt but fuck was it reliable and comfortable.
Missed it so much I just picked up another one for a grand lol
@@KiedisHazedid you buy the V6 model
I switch between an 03 Galant (generation prior to this one) and a 99 Mustang manual for daily driving and let me tell you. The Galant is underestimated in terms of comfort. It's so damn relaxing. Its really under rated.
But because it's a Mitsubishi I bought it for 800 dollars.
I own the same car, it revs and it’s fun to drive. It’s better to drive a slow car fast then a fast car slow
I have a 99 galant and I have 213,765 miles, burns oil but runs fantastic. Best $300 I ever spent
i own an 05 galant thats just under 200k miles. its obviously not a fast car but it truly is reliable. i wrapped the front end around a tree during a snowstorm and still was able to drive it to a shop with a destroyed radiator.
Mitshubishi's are tanks thats for sure. My first car was an 03 galant v6 and it ran great all the way up to 240k! We bought it with 130k.
I know it’s a long shit commenting considering this was years ago. Do you have tips on maintaining it? I have an ‘07 galant right now and i’m getting the brake system and suspension system replaced rn. 140k miles
Do a first gen Plymouth neon coupe
god please no
Las Plagas oh God yes
PONTIAC AZTEK
or a 1st Gen caravan.👍
Colby Perry ye
Please change the podcast plug. The surprised bit is more than played out at this point.
Craig Reece If you are talking about the "top 3, sometimes 5" part, I completely agree. It was good the first couple times, now it makes me cringe.
(No offense Matt, awesome show!)
Craig Reece But they haven't mentioned the podcast before. It's kind of surprising...
did you know he has a podcast?
exactly
The podcast is actually really good
Who cares if it's a gallant. Props for the owner being original and taking pride in his ride. 👍
19 mpg with a 2.4L four? How?
Galant is a big car for that engine, you need to beat on it for significant progress. In this case, it's likely a bigger engine would be more economical in it.
My 2.3 Turbo Saab get better mpg in the city. On the highway i'm in the mid 30's.
It's rated at 20/27 so not far off at all. It's a shit car with nothing done for fuel economy. I had a 2002 Galant and it was rated slightly better than the 09' at 21/28.
It's actually quoted at 20 city and 27 highway so I can see it, my 08' Chevy Malibu with the 2.0L 4 Cylinder I only get an average of like 17 lol..
gdmcgill overweight at 3400lbs , underpowered at 155hp, and mitsu was never good at making fuel efficient engines. so a bad recipe overall.
Owner is super friendly and passionate. Cheers to you, bud!
04 galant GTS best car I've ever owned reliable, comfortable, and with the 3.8 V6 it was pretty fast too.
Much respect for that guy, seems to be a very down to earth, easygoing owner. Even though he does not praise it, he still respects the car much more than some guys out there. It's a Galant, right? Respect by what really is, not superestimating the vehicle.
We had a modified Gallant in Australia from 2005 to 2008. It was the best car ever to close a factory. Car was Mitsubishi 380.
I like the owner. Fun guy, and as a sidenote i 100% agree that Mitsubishi in the 80s and 90, were a LOT more fun than they are now.
The car: Galants are great for transport, but in this segment of car videos, all i feel like saying is: Imho it would look a lot better, if the ride height were set to a level that suits the car. ..and it most likely would drive better too.
Mitsubishi owner since mid 9os. 96 gst 95 gsx. evo 8. evo 8 Rs, evo x now. my dad owned gallant and endeavor. my mom owned 96 Mitsubishi colt. so 8 in our family. wait 9 I forgot we had Mitsubishi that looked like space wagon. forgot the year. I remember when 97 gsx came out. I wanted so bad.
theMadWhip same here bro. mostly DSMs tho.
96 Gsx
97 gst
98 gst
97 TSi AWD
99 mirage
and now im thinkin about another DSM or a 3KGT.
my family had 97 galant. 03 galant and now a 09 galant. im planning on getting a evo x se
Stephaugn Jones great cars. sucks. that slowly Mitsubishi is going under.
theMadWhip
i know. and the great ones that they had are being trashed. breaks my heart and my wallet
I think they are in good hands with Nissan.
This video made me fall in love with my car all over again
I have this exact same car, same year, all that good stuff....i can say this much about it. I bought mine for 850 bucks a d it was SUPER CLEAN. I thought something had to be wrong with it for it being so cheap to purchase. So far, this has been THE BEST damn car I've ever had! I drive delivery for dominos and I drive the crap out this car and I've NEVER had an issue, except with an ignition issue that was a relatively easy fix. It's one of the best deals I've ever gotten on ANYTHING in life. I'm so grateful for my lil gallant and still wash her and vacuum her out on the REG and change her oil every 3k miles cause she's worth it. It's driving is zippy to! Don't let these guys fool you into believing it's completely gutless. I've smoked a few decent rides off the line at a red before. All in all, on a scale of 1 to 10 on my love for my galant, I'd give her a safe 9. Can't really think of any cons aside of the fact that the stock stereo in it doesn't come with an AUX outlet....thats about my biggest complaint. It's roomy and comfortable and drives like a dream most times and I couldn't be happier!
I couldn't agree more. I have a new Honda Accord which I love but wanted a 2nd car for bad weather & to keep the miles on my Accord low. So I bought a 2012 Mitsubishi Galant for a very decent price. Let me tell you this car rides like a dream and is super reliable. I added a decent double din JVC Bluetooth stereo, a backup camera & $100 JBL speakers in in the rear. I bought a piano black dash kit to cover the wood grain. The car looks great, drives great, is reliable & comfortable. And since I added the upgrades, I dont mind driving it at all, switching off from a brand new Honda Accord. This is a very solid & underrated car. Some of the best money I've ever spent. Not as good as your bargain of $850 though.
yeah man no joke. mines about to break 300k no issues 😂
I own a 2011 Galant SE and never thought I would see Matt test driving one lol. It's a great daily, family car and has literally given us 0 problems. The resale is crap, but it does what it's supposed to do. The 19 mpg combined sounds like his car is starting to have some issues because I can get 22-24 mpg when I'm beating on it; 27-30 when on long trips cruising.
The v6 version of these are actually pretty fast.Nice review tho it's cool seeing reviews on cars that can be around your town or anyone can afford especially with mods its shows you don't need an M4 or something crazy to have some fun.I have a 1996 civic hatchback cx non vtec auto just a little 106hp y7 and as slow as it is it makes me look forward to future thinks like the manual swap and lowering springs .Something special about taking a economy car and actually making it fun idk what it is lol
I love it when Matt shows off a proper munted car , if you read this Matt , G'day from Australia , we need more bollock'd cars.
the gen before this galant was my favorite. They drove nice. underrated
maxxjett films look nice too. I had one it's a gtz it's not crazy fast but it's comfortable.
@@aireworkz929yea the gtz model galant was rare with that v6 engine that was back when Mitsubishi still had style can't believe they gave up on the galant, diamante and eclipse
The pinnacle of jdm automobiles. GALANT BABY
funny, it was actually built in Normal, Illinois.
Guess i gotta work on my sarcasm c:
@@PeePee-xw7jjyep the vr4 trim level is the performance version of the galant basically the muscle version I don't know why they didn't bring that version to the Mitsubishi dealerships in America like they did with the lancer Evo and and eclipse gsx cause it would be dusting a lot of American sedans if it was here in the states
I bought a Mitsubishi 380 (based off the Galant with a 6G75 V6 engine) here in Australia as my daily beater... great value cars.
My first car was the 2000 v6 galant . I loved that car .
I enjoy this video because the owner is a real guy and very down-to-earth!
Respect for this kid, but I kinda prefer when matt reviews cars on the cheap end like this one, because it makes me wanna do some of this stuff with a cheapish car.
Best comment ever. I agree with you 100%
This guest was cool. Laid back and realistic.
Videos like this remind me of when I and my friends started driving, and tuning.
More please.
Definitely enjoy stumbling upon these old and obscure one takes
I just rewatched one of Matt's non-one take videos, I forgot how good they were.
Jared Rosenholtz amazing what we can do with time and money!
TheSmokingTire I know video making is super expensive. Your one takes are still very entertaining.
2:59 "IT'S A GALAAAAAAAAAANT I MEAN COME OOOOOOON" he killed me
This guy was cool and ITS A GALANT! More of this!
A guy that actually doesnt over talk his car for what it actually is. Nice
*you should review the 2010-present Ford Taurus SHO .* it's an underrated sleeper.
CJ Vlogs someone else is subbed to TDIB I see 😂
TDIB = That Dude in Blue, who has reviewed one recently.
NCD2294 never heard of him.
reviewed one when it was new. It was fucking monstrous. I parked it next to a first-generation Dodge Caravan and the roofs were within a couple inches of each other. Too bad, could have been so cool, but it's such a fucking pig.
TheSmokingTire kk thanks , I'll make sure find it and view it
I would never even think to take a 2nd look at this model galant in stock trim BUT dat stance though looks really good! Form over function. Just needs power and u can have one heck of a sleeper car.
More please. These are the cars that your viewers (most of them) have.
Great shit man.
I don't know if you guys noticed but the people with the hammy down cars that matt brang on this show are more happier and laugh a lot more with matt then the people with new more expensive cars lol. good review though. keep them coming
one of the best passengers ever !
Dude, you should get the Galant Ralliart. Has slot more power cuz it has the mivec V6.
One of the better owners in the One takes.
A shame we don't see this car in any form in Europe. Galant has always been a nice looking car :P
My buddy has a crazy stupid Galant he built for Autocross, he races (or at least used to race) in Kansas City for KCSSR
wow this car looks really good
Weird cars like this make me click on the thumbnails
Daniel was more interesting than the car, which is a good thing. Not only did Matt's interviewing style and pacing benefit from the subdued overall feeling of the run, but also the audio quality is exceptional. I love watching a curveball pitcher work, keep them coming.
It really does sound pretty good.
I love Mitsubishi cars, very rugged
1:08 that evo looks clean.
i like when he does the oddball cars, even they can be cool
No joke, I once watched a Judge Judy episode where an African came to this country and wanted to show off by buying an expensive car even though he couldn't afford it. He claimed he paid 50k for it, and what was it? A Mitsubishi Galant!!!!!!!!!
I have one, I checked this video cause there's virtually no aftermarket parts for this car. So I was just curious... But just suspension work
Best interviewee ever! Was getting tired of the awkward dudes sitting there the whole time lol.
It was very nice of you to review this car. And that's that. 😉
never knew these were made for so long. thought the galants ended somewhere in 2002 - these were never imported to europe, and it's the first time I see one. you're wrong about Y2k ruining mitsu though. I have a 2004 lancer wagon with 249 000 kms, and it just sits near the fence now that i've bought my 08 audi a6 allroad, but another car in the family is a 2005 colt with 96 000 kms, and both the mitsus are great... i mean, mine was also, until the oil sump gasket started to leak, and to change that i have to take the subframe lower member off, which i'll eventually do, but just haven't gotten to that yet. the mitsus are dead reliable, on my 2004 lancer wagen i still run very many original wear an tear parts, like the front lower control arm bushings, and majority of the rear mnultilink ind. susp. bushings, and that's in a country with some of the more stringent MOT rules in Europe. it's a pity mitsu's having such bad times, especially looking how mazda and hyundai are able to rise and shine, but as I understand mitsus were cheating for a long time about their consumption figures, were involved in a bunch of legal matters, changed their CEOs tens of times in the last 10 years - but hey, the company still produced some of the greatest cars, like their last evo 10 (from which many parts are exactly as on my 2004 lancer) - and that car, even compared to modern wrx'es and focuses st, doesn't fare too badly from the mechanical standpoint. now they've sold 30% to nissan, but hope they are still coming back. good luck, mitsu!
I love these basic cars and trucks with cool mods that nobody would ever notice unless you're a car guy
I have this exact same car! I was shocked when I saw Matt review it.
I have a Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart with the 3.8 V6 and it is putting out 260 at the front wheel and it is a really true sleeper no one would expect it especially when you take off at the red light about ran a few tuners some of the new Mustang V6 is the Gallant most people think it might be a joke if they can be tuned up to kick some serious ass.
Yep the ralliart version of the galant is like the performance muscle version people who don't know cars that well will thank its just a regular galant until they get embarrassed at the light
The Smoking Regular cars tire
I do believe I spotted an r34 and the end of the video and now I'm an excited puppy that pees on everything
Wait so it's a galant right?
Damn i used to have one of these haha. With the 3.8 v6. Then i bought a salvage with the 2.4 I4. Both were pretty damn reliable actually. Big difference with the Ralliart 3.8
Yea the ralliart galant with V6 is kinda rare they didn't build many of them but that 3.8 had some muscle would like to see one go against a Maxima
this caught my attention because I have a galant I'm working on. its stripped roll bars and on nitrous. kinda disappointed that nothing was done on it but yet I'm not surprised and kinda happy because that means my car is still unique
Every time I see a Mitsubishi Galant I think of Will Ferrell in that dysfunctional family skit. "I have a perfect spot for my Mitsubishi Galant".
Great guest and honest about his car.
Awesome guest, his car was really nice honestly
this was so entertaining to watch
Hey Matt, love to see a Ford Taurus SHO thats been tuned.
You can tell you’re impressed by the galant
And the owner of the odd balls and shit boxes are always great
More cars like this. More owners like this.
We have a Outlander Sport. It isn't powerful but I do enjoy it. It was for my wife. She is a shorty so she needed something that sat up higher.
I have this model, but I got a V6 in mine lol. Top speed I've gotten on it was about 135. There's easy ways to bypass the computer limitations.
how lol
I wish I seen his buddies Galant. I loved his and the simple thing I was excited to see his friend if it was better.
Mitsubishi Diamante with 6g72tt (3000 GT engine) very sick car believe me!
its a GALANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNT
I enjoyed this more than most of the others
Good for a laugh ! Good on him for loving what's available
just bought another galant , an 05'
Less Bad Manners Wagons, more stuff like this.
2:22 daniel: ITS A GALAAAANT C'MON!
"I also have a 5-series. It's a 2011 5-2-8-i. Oh, well, its kinda my dad's but I get it from time to time."
That is not your car.
Namesi the car is in my name bitch
Spicy!
Someone's jealous.
Totes
chill
It's a Galant. IT'S A GALANT!
Hey man sick 9thgen. You said you got Megan Coils but my question is are the coilovers from the Eclipse same for the Galant??? Because it is so hard to find coils for this gen.
Thank you
Ever notice how he never does trucks?
Okus Sidenote do a quick search of "smoking tire truck." He's done a cyclone, ram srt10, s10, the jettamino. I'm sure there are others.
Okus Sidenote because it's a stupid idea
Ben Wilkinson go watch the "psycho syclone" and say it's a stupid idea. The reality is racetrucks are super uncommon.
EDIT: just realized that truck was on /drive.. still Matt though!
Okus Sidenote I'd love to see a boosted Silverado or a srt ram
I'd totally let him drive my modified Dakota R/T to many mods to list but to gloss over it. 408cuin NA, built transmission, full Hotchkiss race suspension kit
Matt you always have some cool cars to show, look forward to your vids all the time!!
That blue R34 though!
Daniel seems like a really cool kid. All that matters is you love what you drive. I loved my 03 maxima 6 speed, now in a 2015 sti and still want my maxima back. Nissan is the wife, Subaru the side chick I just might get pregnant lol.
this kid has to be the most annoying person you've ever had on this. I came onto my phone just to state that. dude wouldn't let you get a word in side ways. just running on and on every single time. jeeeez
it's a galant!
The title of the video should be "But it's a Galant!"
my 4g69 lancer ralliart is actually very good im getting 30-32 MPG, if that was a galant ralliart with the v6 it would actually be awesome
Lol every time Matt says something about the car he goes "is a galant" cool vid!
