Good Points: FTO looks. Subaru at cornering. MR2 at accelaration.
Bad Points: Parts can be expensive on older models when everything needs to be replaced.
General comments: I have owned a Mitsubishi FTO 1.8 gs base model a MR2 g limited auto and a Subaru sport these cars are the only 3 cars that have been worth owning lovely to drive, although it didn ' t look the best for going round corners nothing compares to the Subaru, I have had a few other cars that were totally rubbish including Alfa Romeo 156 what a mess, I ' ll never buy a Alfa again, Honda Civic which had a really uncomfortable seat, Suzuki Baleno naff interior and exterior, I did have a new VW Passat hire car which was really good build quality, Japanese and German cars always be the best bet.

Owned my Mitsubishi FTO 2.0 GPX Mivec now for 8 years. Loved it every day I`ve had it and every day I've driven it. Looks can't be beaten and the sound of the mivec at 3000 rpm is simply awesome.
Buy a good one and it will never let you down.
When you buy one youll use the words love and smile a lot and the immortal words "theres nothing I can think of that could replace it".

I have owned a Miotsubishi FTO for almost 2 years. Passion red GPX Manual 1995. It's great to drive and I love it to bits. You'd be hard pushed to find a better sports car in this price range.

This is the best car I ever bought. I had a mk2 VW Golf GTi and that was a tuned 8v version, quicker than the 16v. I got overtaken by an FTO but then I didn't know what it was. Since then I've chased the country to find a good supplier and one in good condition. Now I've found it, I'm happy.

The Mitsubishi FTO is a fantastic little car for the money! I use mine every day and mostly with four up! My trips to work are only a few miles so it does about 20mpg. On longer trips it does about 30mpg - my overall figure is 23.4 mpg. When I can I use the Tiptronic for some racy fun but around town I use auto. Shame it's so old - the slightest bump and they will try and write it off. I love my FTO it must be the most underrated car around.

Bought this Mitsubishi FTO on strength of reviews here. Got passion red GR with tiptronic. It's very reliable and a lot of fun to drive. Now spend my time fantasising about body-kit manual GPX and that 20% extra whoooosh. But tipronic a lot of fun and 2 speed tickets enough thus far, a bit sobering. Darn! Great car. Would buy again. GPX next time!

Only had the Mitsubishi FTO a few months now but it is my third in the last 4 years.
Lovely drive, real headturner for the cash. Performance wise, for a ten year old car its hard to beat. I have a Tip gearbox so it's not as fast as a manual but I for a lazy driver like me.. a tip is great....
Petrol prices seem to be coming down too so thats a plus!!!

The Misubishi FTO is great it sure turns heads and it does look a lot more expensive then it is. This was the most cute but sporty car and it took me awile to get up the guts to get one because its imported, I thought I might regret it but I'm still as much in love with it as the day I got it don't think about it go FTO

I imported the Mitsubishi FTO for my wife, she loves it. Mechanically and electrically sound and don't see anything going wrong in the near future. It seems to be heavy, which might be due to extra stengthening. No problems with inner space, wife says it great out on the motorway where she can open it up, and good on the hills. She drives faster than me, they say love is blind my wife has only good things to say about her FTO model GX

I have only had my Mitsubishi FTO for one week, but I am very glad I bought it. It has a very comfortable seat position.
I had an MX5 some time ago, but there is no comparison. I did not know anything about the Mitubishi before I saw it, but I did find out that my niece had been wanting one for years.

The Mitusbishi FTO has outdone itself, for years serving the Japanese, and now, more and more are finding their way on to the British market, this car is just an excellent example of Japanese engineering, if you want speed and power, this has it to spare, if you want luxury and comfort, well, it's all there, a great all rounder, even if you need the space... it's there (well, for a sports car anyway)!! Most commonly found with the triptronic gear box, which is an excellent box, although, make su ...

Mitsubishi FTO...I'm the king of the road when I drive my FTO. Especially having a huge T-wing, with a sexy big bore and classic tints, my car makes everyone dream of having it. My FTO, is my honey.Thanks Mitsubishi.

Don't get me wrong I love my FTO which I've owned for just over one year. Very little has gone wrong with it. It's quick and it looks (and sounds) awesome and looks way more than its worth. Mine is a 1998 GX for £5,000.
However, you can't help but feel that this car should have been faster and whilst you can modify it extensively you're never going to be getting the gains that the Turbo jap cars will achieve.
Also as standard the pre-face lift models (and some newer ones) can look a ...

An awesome car! I've had mine for three years now and have had no trouble at all. I still love this car as much as the day I bought it if not more. It is one wicked piece of sports car!! If you haven't got one go test drive a GPX Mivec, 5spd and you'll know what I mean!

All in all the Mitsubishi FTO is a fantastic sports machine. The handling is amazing in any weather due to the front wheel drive. The interior layout is great, and looking down from the windscreen the bonnet actually leaves you feeling as though you are in a Ferarri. The car has a great road feel and sound. Very reliable cars, a bit expensive to run for the newer drivers.

I absolutely love the Mitsubishi FTO and the GPX Mivec is the best. It is fast and sexy.
As a lady driver going from a 1.4 Peugeot 306 it was daunting, but as soon as I saw the car I fell in love and when I took it round the block I knew I had to have it.
Sadly I have to sell mine as I am moving abroad and they will not allow cars over 5 years old so I have now bought a Seat Leon Cupra T.
I will miss my FTO and anyone thinking of buying should definately get one. ...

After reading lots and lots on the Mitsubishi FTO I went out today (yes as I type) and put a deposit on one. M plate GR in silver, 17" 5 spoke alloys with nice tyres, cd, air etc., race pipe and filter (swayed it perhaps), no tax but 10 months mot so now uk spec (not sure on pipe though), 65k miles for 3995 british pounds. Got shown all the specific inspections points, panel alignment, uk specific mods (fog light), it even has the original "flag light" holder in off side front wing!
So cant wai ...
