Modified 2009 Mitsubishi Galant - One Take 

"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.

"Its a Gallant!"

honestly i think id rather see cars like this more than cars like a McLaren lol

Do more shit cars please

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

Galant is a very underrated commuter / daily driver car

My Galant has 214k miles and still runs amazing💪

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?

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 have 175,000 miles on mine. Only done timing belts. And I drive the shit out of it

I have a 99 galant and I have 213,765 miles, burns oil but runs fantastic. Best $300 I ever spent

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 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 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!

Please change the podcast plug. The surprised bit is more than played out at this point.

Owner is super friendly and passionate. Cheers to you, bud!

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.

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.

2:59 "IT'S A GALAAAAAAAAAANT I MEAN COME OOOOOOON" he killed me

Who cares if it's a gallant. Props for the owner being original and taking pride in his ride. 👍

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.

04 galant GTS best car I've ever owned reliable, comfortable, and with the 3.8 V6 it was pretty fast too.

Do a first gen Plymouth neon coupe

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.

This video made me fall in love with my car all over again

This guy was cool and ITS A GALANT! More of this!

The pinnacle of jdm automobiles. GALANT BABY

Definitely enjoy stumbling upon these old and obscure one takes

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.

I bought a Mitsubishi 380 (based off the Galant with a 6G75 V6 engine) here in Australia as my daily beater... great value cars.

the gen before this galant was my favorite. They drove nice. underrated

My first car was the 2000 v6 galant . I loved that car .

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 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 enjoy this video because the owner is a real guy and very down-to-earth!

wow this car looks really good

19 mpg with a 2.4L four? How?

one of the best passengers ever !

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.

One of the better owners in the One takes.

*you should review the 2010-present Ford Taurus SHO .* it's an underrated sleeper.

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.

Dude, you should get the Galant Ralliart. Has slot more power cuz it has the mivec V6.

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

It really does sound pretty good.

More please. These are the cars that your viewers (most of them) have. Great shit man.

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.

Weird cars like this make me click on the thumbnails

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!

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.

I love Mitsubishi cars, very rugged

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

A guy that actually doesnt over talk his car for what it actually is. Nice

Best interviewee ever! Was getting tired of the awkward dudes sitting there the whole time lol.

this was so entertaining to watch

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

The Smoking Regular cars tire

I just rewatched one of Matt's non-one take videos, I forgot how good they were.

I do believe I spotted an r34 and the end of the video and now I'm an excited puppy that pees on everything

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.

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

1:08 that evo looks clean.

I have this exact same car! I was shocked when I saw Matt review it.

"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.

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

It was very nice of you to review this car. And that's that. 😉

Great guest and honest about his car.

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!!!!!!!!!

Wait so it's a galant right?

Awesome guest, his car was really nice honestly

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".

just bought another galant , an 05'

i like when he does the oddball cars, even they can be cool

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

Love my 09 Galant

Hey Matt, love to see a Ford Taurus SHO thats been tuned.

You can tell you’re impressed by the galant

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 wish I seen his buddies Galant. I loved his and the simple thing I was excited to see his friend if it was better.

More cars like this. More owners like this.

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.

I enjoyed this more than most of the others Good for a laugh ! Good on him for loving what's available

Mitsubishi Diamante with 6g72tt (3000 GT engine) very sick car believe me!

This dude is awesome.

That blue R34 though!

2:22 daniel: ITS A GALAAAANT C'MON!

What kind of exhaust you put in there sounds awesome 👍😎

I love these basic cars and trucks with cool mods that nobody would ever notice unless you're a car guy

And the owner of the odd balls and shit boxes are always great

Less Bad Manners Wagons, more stuff like this.

it's a galant!

What kind of exhaust setup do you have on this?? Just bought a Galant 2 days ago. It's a 2009, 80kmi, 2.4L 4cyl, and it's in immaculate condition. White just like this. Have some ideas for it and like the sound of this one. Any info on exhaust and mechanical tunes would be appreciated. Thank you!

I drive a 9th gen too. They're great cars. Not the fastest(unless you have a ralliart model) but it's quite fun to drive. Love the manual mode even though it's slightly delayed but it Gives you some added sporty-ness. Stiffer suspension and an eclipse intake could make the car a lot better. Not nearly as great as 8th gen but still a decent car.

cant believe I watched that lol. Good review still definitely approve of seeing normal cars !!

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.

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

It sounds good!
