Planning to purchase my first car in a few months or two and was really interested in the Mitsub fto. But i heard alot of bad stories about mitsub like bad customer service and how their cars are unreliable (?) Can sumone verify the quality of the fto (as ive not drivin one yet) or suggest any other similar cars?

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times

the fto is pretty slow...but if you just want something that looks nice its ok. i would choose an integra over an fto. i have no idea about its quality (i live in the us) or mitsu's customer service in aus. but if its like their customer service here, then it probably isnt all too great

the fto is pretty bad. its slow and doesnt handle well. i asked my friend from japan about them several years ago. he doesnt like them at all.

I could've sworn this was the car made to compete against the Toyota Supra.
I've seen the stats of the car. It's pretty fast stock and looks nice too.

you gotta be kidding me right? a 2000cc dohc v6 that's only making 200ps? plus it's fwd?
sounds more like competition for an integra.

I'd have to agree and choose an Integra before that, even looks wise.

looks like a FD and an old school Porche put together. Mitsubishi vehicles have horrible reliability ratings here in the U.S. and I doubt it is much different worldwide.

There are some FTOs over in the UK, the ride looks sweet no doubt about that, but performance wise it isn't that great though, like people mentioned it's kinda slow, if only its a fast as its good looks. It's a fwd not rwd.
