FTO v MX5

[swansea v6]

The time has come, due to work, to sell my mark 1 Eunos roadster....so ive decided to look at FTO's, so any ideas how they compare to the mazda, with regards to performance, comfort, economy all the boring stuff....and if/when I get time to check a few out, what should i be looking for?????

cheers

my sister had a gpx tiptronic

great engine, heavy car, imo good handling, stiff chassis.

let down by tiptronic box

buy a manual gpx and keep an eye out on the oil level at all times. The rear arches for rust.

imo great car for the money

insurance is a killer.
Avoid the GR and tiptronic.
belts are a pain, but can be done by a specialist (Eurospec)
check aircon, brakes for judder, oil state and last service, roof rust (on black cars mainly) and go on www.ftooc.org for any other q's

Check it doesnt say previous owner "_Batty_" and / or "MrFlibbles" on the log book.

PS. Tiptronic on a FTO is fine,you just need to know how to use it!
