Importing a Mitsubishi FTO

colm_mcm · 2006-11-06 18:45:13

IN the new year I'm planning to import a 1995 Mitsubishi FTO 1.8 in either manual or tiptronic (not sure yet) as a weekend plaything. Does anyone out there own a 4 speed tiptronic model, and if so, what is it like. I like automatics, but I'm not sure a 4 speed would be adequete? I reckon I can get one in for around €4,000…

I got proper quotes from Quinn Direct today, and the MIVEC costs €300 more than the 1.8. Apart from the engine, the extra interior and exterior goodies appeal to me. Only reservation I have is lack of ABS, but I'm sure I'll get over it!

The diference between the 2.0 Mivic and 1.8 would be worth it. You should not rule out the 2.0 non mivec as well. There only 20bhp between them and are similarly specced
Although ABS were not standard on earlier models the FTO came with many optional extras which include sunroof, ABS and Traction control etc so could get lucky !

Forgot to mention theres a great owners club with a section dedicated to insurance
