Luckee, whats your opinion of Mitsubishi FTO\'s?
« on: April 14, 2002, 06:50:27 PM »
I am considering buying one. What do you think. I know they are kinda chick looking, but they are cheap, and can be easily modded.

What do you think. This is the one I wanna buy.



It has the MIVEC engine, which is supposed to be extremely good.

What car is like them in the states since the FTO isn\'t in the states.  I\'m guessing its like their Eclipse here.

from what I understand...that is mitsu\'s eclipse on yer side of the world. We dont get FTO\'s here. There are both NA and turbo versions from factory correct?

For not having ever driven one, I do like the spec\'s on them and I loved them in the gran turismo games, but other than that, not much knowledge of them.
