2012 Mitsubishi Galant vs. 2013 Chrysler 200 Review

Comparison Review


Comfort
The Mitsubishi Galant offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Chrysler 200 with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Mitsubishi Galant and the Chrysler 200 in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Mitsubishi Galant as you will with the Chrysler 200, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Mitsubishi Galant will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Chrysler 200. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Mitsubishi Galant carries a much lower Destination Charge than the Chrysler 200.

Dimensions
The Mitsubishi Galant is about the same width as the Chrysler 200. When looking at overall length, the Mitsubishi Galant takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Chrysler 200.

Drivetrain
With its lower torque, the Mitsubishi Galant doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Chrysler 200.

Handling
The Mitsubishi Galant has a larger turning radius than the Chrysler 200, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Mitsubishi Galant is significantly less powerful than the Chrysler 200. The good news is that, reportedly, cars with lower horsepower engines often have lower insurance premiums.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Mitsubishi Galant and the Chrysler 200. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries into the Mitsubishi Galant as you will in the Chrysler 200.

Warranty
You'll have greater peace of mind with the more generous basic warranty of the Mitsubishi Galant than that of the Chrysler 200.
