Faults:

As I have only owned this car for two months, nothing has gone wrong.

A previous FTO that I purchased has been very reliable. The only part that had to be replaced on my other FTO was the "idle control valve".

General Comments:

The Mitsubishi is aesthetically pleasing. Its rounded graceful lines make it look very muscular. The front and side view of the car make it look quite aggressive.

The car can accommodate some very wide rubber.

The engine and drivetrain are smooth and powerful. The Tiptronic transmission is almost as good as a manual transmission.

While the rear seats are negligible, the front seats are well made and quite comfortable, offering good lateral support and lots of adjustment for different sized drivers.

There are significant blind spots and a driver must be very conscious of the view behind and beside when making lane changes and turns.

In Canada, this car is very rare. It is a real head turner. If you don't want attention, don't buy this car!

Nothing has gone with my car yet.

General Comments:

Nice looking and fast; does 140mph.

Good acceleration; 0 to 60 in 6.6 seconds.

My mates like it; Lee called it sex on wheels. Good looks.

It's got mivec.

If I was you I would get one. Mine is black and is a sporty model. You can get one from as little as 3000 pounds up to 8000 pounds. Mine cost 5000 pounds, and I thought it was a good bargain.

It has got plenty of room for small kids.

Faults:

Battery Died.

General Comments:

Best thing about this car is driving it. Until you have you cannot judge it.

0-60 is a bit on the slow side for how the car looks (7s) and you only really get the power up around 4500rpm. However you redline at about 8000rpm at which point it sounds amazing.

Tiptronic gearbox is OK and responds well, but unfortunately it saps about 20bhp from the 200bhp engine over the manual.

Would I buy another... yes... but it would be a manual that is stock.

Faults:

I have had some difficulty with the idling stepper motor stopping and starting, causing the engine to cut out at traffic lights. I fixed it myself, in under an hour. I need to repeat the cleaning procedure once every year.

The window guides in the doors are a little rattly, if the windows are half-down and you drive over a bump.

General Comments:

The FTO is very stylish and unique-looking.

It is well-built, although the interior could have done with more dressing up.

Performance is very good considering the car isn't turbo-ed.

Faults:

Nothing major so far.

General Comments:

This is a great sports car with tremendous handling in fact even better than my previous car which is a BMW 328i, the engine note is fantastic and the performance of the 24V V6 Mivec engine is superb, it's a wonder how Mitsubishi is able to squeeze out 200 BHP from the 2 litre engine. Also great is the Invecs transmission which is a semi-automatic which allows the driver to choose gears when required. The transmission is also very intuitive when left at full-auto, seems to know what I want and my driving style. Shame that there is no official importer in Malaysia and it is difficult to source for parts.

Faults:

Electric window on passanger side only works intermittently.

General Comments:

At 200bhp it has staggering power and will give all the traditional sports cars a very good run for their money.

Specification very high CD, A/C, Electric sunroof, mirrors even 'park'.

As not ever sold in Europe it has rarity value, but parts can take a while to arrive if you need them (I haven't needed them yet, though the timing belt will need changing sometime soon).
