GX FTO

Post by sd15 »

i have a few questions about FTO's more so on the GX models were these common and how good are they in the line up also what year did they start to come out and are the performance values the same?

the reason i ask is there is a mitsubishi FTO GX manual for sale when he told me it was a GX i was like sweet its a GPX he has just forgotten the P but he assured me that it only had 2 letters then my mind said hmmm 2 letters must be a GR as these are the more common types of FTO's

ppl please let me know what you think on GX models or if anyone has one please post here!

I'm not sure how it drives as I don't own one, but I do know that a GX is a GR dressed up like a GPX.

The GX is basically the series II of the GR. It's has the non-Mivec engine. From memory the GX replaced the GR in '97 or '98

Yeah I think Rxboy is right. It's a GPX trimmed FTO but with non-Mivec engine.

Facelifted (1997/98 model) GR exists as well. So don't be surprised if you come across this. Pretty rare though.

This wouldn't be a white one in sydney? Cos i almost wanted to get that one... I think i made a thread similar to your thread!

Just do a search!

Personally i didn't go for a GX, because it didn't have mivec... and to me, those extra kw would matter! So i settled for an older 95 model!
