1994 Mitsubishi FTO GR-X review from Australia and New Zealand
"A sporty, performing ride guaranteed to turn heads"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
