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!

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
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

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
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.
