Title: The FTO
Post by: mr_roll on August 21, 2008, 14:33:38 PM
I like these.

Has anyone had any experience with Mitsubishi FTOs? are they all imports or know anything about them?

How easy are parts to get?

I like them too but considering they have 180/200 bhp they are relatively slow due to the semi-auto box.

I think they are all Imports so the performance/insurance ratio isnt great.

The MIVEC ones make an awesome noise when floored!

From people I know that have had them Ive been told the MIVECs are the only ones worth getting.

I test drove one a while back and it was bloody amazing, no tread on the fronts so it was a bit drunk but really fun to drive. Only reason I didnt buy it was cos the engine was iffy.

Ive always really liked them too......  Would love to stop being sensible, get rid of my Corolla and get a FTO, or GTO, or something a bit mad.

they do sound nice.......until they change gear

IF you can get a manual one they are great cars, but the auto box ruins them

To big for my liking.

I just like the look of the FTO and I wouldnt want a 200sx, well I would. But I just wouldnt want a 200sx. I just want an FTO, personal choice. I have many years to get a faster car.
