I rented a 2002 Mitsubishi Gallant ES while my 1992 MBZ 300Ce was in the paint shop.I was impressed with the factory stereo system in the car.I put in a CD and even at low volume levels the sound system in the car is crystal clear and powerful.When cranked up there was no distortion at all.The Bass and the Treble separations are great.I listened to the Bose System in a buddys 1998 CLK 320 and I really enjoyed the factory system in the Mitsubishi by far.Even he was impressed with it especially since the car isnt high on the luxury level...no leather/no sunroof etc in this particular rental.I havent driven too may late model cars but for the money in my opinion Mitsubishi did a good job on their gallant with the factory stereo system.Has anyone rented a car that had a super sound system in it from the factory?

Had same experience with a variety of japanese made cars equipped with factory stereo. Love their sound quality and punchy bass.
