You either love them, or you hate them! There's no inbetween with these cars I have decided!
In my opinion, these cars are damn sexy - even STOCK! They stick out like a sore thumb in traffic, how many do you see per day here in Aust. compared to other imports like Skyline, WRX etc? I have a black FTO and nothing looks hotter than when u got it nice and polished - and with other colours too (sorry, burgundy doesn't do it for me though). They really are quite a unique car and have a sleek/aggressive shape to them!
The power is also good for them too - 147kw at approx. 200nm torque stock isn't anything to be scoffed at for the price of these cars. They are also a lot of fun to drive revving out to 8,000rpm! Don't worry about them not being the fastest to take off lights either - they are made for cornering!
Although there's not many mods and can be pricey, there's not much needed to be done to these cars.
As for problems with these cars, it's like anything really - take care of it and it's no problem. Only two main probs with them are the stock central locking getting sticky and the idling - which can be easily fixed!
So to all those putting negative comments about these cars:
Love it, or leave it.
but ppl cant believe its over 10 years young
