Im thinking of buying one in a few months as i can get a car payment.

it will be pretty old though(around 95 model) but i can get them with under 40k miles easy.

They have a whooping 197hp from a 2.0L n/a V6 Mivec(Mitsubishi VTEC basically) engine.

weighs under 2500lbs

-Semi auto sequential

-and can get over 30 MPG

-Lancer Evo exhuast, suspention, brakes etc

What you think?

The FTO is hot , although over here the only thing we have close is the 3000GT. Still a hot car, but hard to find one that hasn't been abused TOO much.

Bet he was tryin to go sideways. IMO the FTO sucks (only ppl who drive them here are girls/asians), get a 89 VL Commy and put an RB25 head on it. Sorted.
VLs last year was 88

i was going to get one before untill that guy totaled it before i got it.

I want the fto mainly due to its combination of speed and economy.

plus over here not many people have em so its all good.

There nice cars, light, pretty quick, and from what I hear decent around town.

Plus its pretty sexy. I'd buy it.

I know someone who has one of those I think

Not unless they found it necessary to import one.

its only goes 120? i would think that top speed would be like 160.
Jap Spec cars are limited to 120MPH - 180km/h

the other ones would be able to go that fast probably though.

awesome car, get one! i reckon it looks great but the headlights are pretty ordinary, try get an aussie one not an import i think insurance will be cheaper.
the lights are acutally HID lights which from a flat angle you can see them.

And all the models are Imports and plus import models have more HP due to lack of emisson restrictions.

They only sold in dealers in New Zealand, UK, Japan(of course) and South Africa. They missed Australia.

headlights are epic fail

Really... very ugly car. If it's going to be ugly, then it better be cheap.

UGLY + $        = OK.
UGLY + $$$$$ = Not even worth it.
