2000 Mitsubishi FTO GPX review from UK and Ireland
"Buy one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After a year comes the MOT, the first test after a year in England. The result? 0.85p for a side light bulb.
Drivers seat is wearing a bit on the right hand side. It seems the metal frame is close to the cloth.
That's it. 18 months of pure fun. This is a reliable car.
General comments?
I think I have got one of the last ones made/imported.
I got lucky maybe. A serious sports car for a rock bottom price. A 200 bhp go kart.
There are cars that travel faster.
There are cars with better acceleration.
But there are no cars in Lincolnshire to my knowledge that you can buy for £4-6k that stand a cat in hells chance of staying with it.
Try one, understand the power band - use the box. Feel safe with great handling on bendy roads. Work you way into that BTW LOL. You will run out of road or bottle before the car reaches its peak.
And the styling... muscle from the front. Most people see the back LOL.
