1995 Mitsubishi FTO GPX review from Australia and New Zealand

"Cool stylish car, some performance, but needs a turbo"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Stepper died - Used to make the car change gears and rev. Basically whilst driving the car it would go a little crazy and accelerate a little late (as in I would put my foot down and 1 second later it would catch up), also when slowing down the car would try to change gears down but would instead rev accelerating you forward and then change down gears (fairly dangerous).

The car tends to steer by itself when driving over ditches or bumpy roads (if you let go or not holding on firm enough, you could see yourself in a ditch).

The stepper problem once worked out by a electronics technician, and only cost me about 100 dollars to fix, so pretty cheap. I think they just put another cars stepper in (similar make).

General comments?

Got some performance, always first off the line at the lights, half decent fuel economy for a V6.

The car looks like a new car, despite being 13 years old (as in it fits in well with anything made today).
