    Amazing car, I've owned variety of uncommon cars over the years and some sensible ones too but my FTO facelift GX is awesome. Guaranteed to get plenty of looks, especially in white, lots of power, handling is superb and they're comfortable too, and the best thing, they're used as touring cars in Japan, what a talking point at a dinner party, oh the second best thing, they're too expensive for boy racers too insure, thank God, 10/10

    I always bought what some would call sensible saloon cars, but my last one was vandalised by someone in Wolverhampton in 2006. This year I decided that one car in the household was not enough and wanted something completely unlike me, so I bought an FTO 54000 miles pre owned by a 84 year old gent and a standard car to boot. I always liked the look of these and they still look great. Rear room is minimal but if you want that buy a Vectra. These cars go round corners as if they are on rails. The e ...

    Really quick, especially when switching to 'manual' selector on semi gearbox, good handling, reliable, and a real 'drivers' car.

    Mitsubishi FTO is a great car...almost as much fun as the 2.0 Starion's used to be.

    Hi, i always liked the look of Mitsi's FTO but never had the bottle to go out and buy one. Several years ago i bought the WRX on the forecourt of the importers rather than the FTO cos the girlfriend didn't like the look of it! Then i became a MR2 convert and have driven toyota's mid engine maestro for several years now but due to the requirement for a back seat it was back to searching for something sporty, japanese, fun, affordable but with a back seat - the MR2 had to go lol - oh and it had to ...

    The Mitsubishi FTO is a good car. You get good quality for the price, good handling however is high on petrol so is pricey to get from a-b and insurance isnt cheap either. Reliable and powerful, good handling , comfortable

    Still looks good even though its 15 years old now, great performance and value for money with pretty much everything inc digital climate control as standard. Lovely smooth engine with a great exhaust note and handles like a dream.
    Great looks and performance for very little money.

    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.
