What do you love about your FTO?

Post by bass_twitch »

Hey Guys,

Don't know if there is a thread like this up here, but I figured we can never express enough FTO self love..

I'll kick it off, I love a couple things:
-The MIVEC roar
- As I don't have any badges on it (and the FTO being a not so common car) I love that most people have no idea what it is and walk around it trying to figure it out! :lol:

Nothing.

Absolute POS IMHO.

LOL JK ROFL.

I like the way it looks, sounds and handles.

Unfortunately, my hate list is also much longer at the moment.

I love the hiss of the turbo as it starts winding up hahahahahha

and the only thing I hate is it not being RWD or at least AWD

I love its styling, the curve.

I love the sound of mivec.

what i hate is its age which means you always find parts which needs to be replaced/repaired constantly.

Before the r35 gt-r launched.. i got a lot of "Is that the new gtr ?!?!" with the v35 :P

LoveD my fto for it's styling (facelift ftw), handling, hp/displacement output, good brakes from factory and it's low numbers on the roads compared to a lot of other sports cars.

The interior was also very cosy/comfy for a sport car. I used to sleep in it during long uni breaks. Their ease of being modded was also great.

Classic styling, blows people away when I tell them it's 15 years old.

Also reliability. Hoping not to jinx myself here, but I'm presently 'touching wood'

A Tip box that learns your style of driving.

Most new autos don't even do that. You gotta congratulate Japanese engineering.
