ACCELERATION
| ES, I4 auto. | GTZ | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 6 | 3.7 |
The 4-cylinder feels adequate, going 0-60 mph in 10.3 seconds in our tests. The V6 is strong, and took our test GTZ to 60 mph in 8.3 seconds.
FUEL ECONOMY
| ES, I4 auto. | GTZ | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 5 | 6.6 |
Our V6 test cars averaged between 21 and 22.2 mpg, but required premium fuel. With slightly more highway driving, our 4-cylinder automatic ES averaged 24 mpg on regular gas.
RIDE QUALITY
| ES, I4 auto. | GTZ | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 4 | 3.5 |
There's some tail hop over sharp ridges, but Galant's ride is comfortably compliant and controlled. Small bumps are more noticeable on the GTZ than other models.
STEERING/HANDLING/BRAKING
| ES, I4 auto. | GTZ | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 6 | 4.3 |
The GTZ has slightly less body lean in tight corners, but all Galants are balanced and predictable, with accurate steering.
QUIETNESS
| ES, I4 auto. | GTZ | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 4 | 3.6 |
Engine noise and wind rush are well muffled, with tire roar noticed only on coarse pavement.
CONTROLS
| ES, I4 auto. | GTZ | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 6 | 5.5 |
Gauges and controls are well placed and self-explanatory.
ROOM/COMFORT/DRIVER SEATING (FRONT)
| ES, I4 auto. | GTZ | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 4 | 4.2 |
Front seats are long-haul supportive, but there's no excess of head or leg room.
ROOM/COMFORT (REAR)
| ES, I4 auto. | GTZ | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 3 | 2.8 |
Only average room for two adults, three in a pinch. Entry/exit could be better.
CARGO ROOM
| ES, I4 auto. | GTZ | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 3 | 3.3 |
The flat-floor low-liftover trunk is spacious enough, and all models except the base DE have a folding rear seatback.
VALUE WITHIN CLASS
| ES, I4 auto. | GTZ | Class Average |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 6 | 4.2 |
An agreeable, competent family 4-door, Galant mimics much of the driving satisfaction--if not the top-notch engineering--of a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry at lower cost. Put it on your shopping list.
