Mitsubishi FTO FTO 2.0 V6 GPX (197bhp) 2d Auto (2000/V) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
The car is very good value, once you have it is a different matter.
Costs
Insurance is high and servicing is expensive.
-
On the road
Driving
Firm ride, corners well, it's quite a noisy car (in a good way).
Performance
0 - 60 in 7.3 (that is a real time I saw it myself).
-
Living with it
Reliability
Rear anti-roll bar bushes wear out pretty quickly and electric window motors sometimes suspect. Other than that, nothing of note.
Image
I only know one person who says there is something wrong with its looks, I think he might be looking at it through green tinted spectacles.
Comfort
Body hugging seats for driver and passanger, ankle hugging seats for the rear passengers.

Security and Service
Security
Needs aftermarket protection.
Service
I got the car back looking and running like new, they even acid bathed the alloys.
