Advantages: You can fit seven people into the car Disadvantages: I don't like the new model
We purchased a New Mitsubishi Spacewagon, in 1997, it has been a very good car, and we purchased it on an option plan, where you pay balance after 3 years, Change for new model or give car back to garage. The old Spacewagon we bought had a really useful rear seat, when not in use it goes into the floor, leaving a flat loading space. Mitsubishi decided to change that and the new model no longer goes into floor, you have got to physically remove and store elsewhere. So because of that we have decided to keep the car, as we have never had problems, and we do not like the new design, as it is less flexible. ...

Advantages: Looks, Sound, Power, Driver/Passenger comfort, Disadvantages: Some parts can be pricey, weak link rods on front suspension
-roads are fun especially when in manual mode. Get the car up to 3500rpm and the engine changes in to the mivec mode, switch to manual shift and the fun begins, this is where the engine develops the recognisable growl that you may hear on occassions, drop a gear and hit the pedal and a surge runs through the engine developing into a very quick take off...boy racers in their maxed Corsa's/ Puntos cant cope and neither can a lot of other similar coupes... (remember car of the year in Japan and used for racing aswell with very few mods)
The gear box in this model is semi - automatic with mitsubishi technology called INVECS, basically what it means is that when driving the car in manual the car will "remember" when you change gear at a certain RPM and then apply this to the gear change when it is driven in automatic. So, the car will drive in auto ...

Advantages: Looks, reliability, great value, seriously fun Disadvantages: Expensive to run
I was a little weary buying an import car at first and heard all sorts of horror stories about imports. However there is a dedicated FTO owners club which you can join for £10 a year.
There is always someone who can offer advise and supply spares if required. Mitsubishi also support this car at their UK dealers, and can get any parts and service this car as required!!
I have had the car for 6 months now and have nothing but praise. For £5,700 I got a 2.0l, 24V, V6, ABS, Traction Control, Climate control, all electric's, the works, Providing these cars are
serviced as required you will have no problems.
The handling is excellent, you get 0-60 in just under 7 seconds and the tiptronic gearbox is superb and the modification potential is limited only by your finances.
This car is a real head turner also and I've lost track ...
