Hi Guys!
So I sold my 95 gpx 2 weeks ago to a guy in SA I told him about how great this site is. Anyway the next day I bought a champagne MY05 XT Forry. I was tossing up between the following:
Mitsubishi Legnum VR4 - I didn't end up buying one because I would of had to import it to get one I really wanted im too fussy and didnt have time to wait lol.

Mitsubishi RVR - The missus detests the way they look including the hypergear sports model and they are a little ugly and old so i skipped the 4G63t powered pimpmobile!

MY05 WRX Wagon - I loved this one and nearly bought one but they have basically no room in the back and were a little too small....I have a wolfhoundX she wouldn't of been happy!

MY05 XT Forry - Having the 2.5 instead of 2 litre engine and plenty of room for the dog and friends etc I decided this was the right one for me i'll post up some pics it's stock as a rock 1 previous owner and old bloke has full service history etc etc I love it lol! but I shall have to get another FTO one day I nearly cried watching it drive off!

A guy I know has the exact same model as that, in black. He's put a cat-back exhaust with a Varex muffler on it, lowered it a little and fitted some 18s.

It sounds and looks awesome.

Haha my mum would flip out lol. Yeah bushido it does go well not much off the pace of a rexy it has more torque but weighs a tad more very happy with it though!

Does it have the leather trim ... A friend of mine has the exact same... But yeah with leather.. I think it was a luxury addition...

I also have another friend with the climate control conversion equiptment, if yours just has standard a/c

I have leather inserts but not full leather the luxury edition also gets a sunroof! I was originally thinking if my next car didn't have leather I'd leatherette it (best fto upgrade ever!) but the seats in this look awesome plus they have airbags and an armrest so can't really do em!

Yeah mine has climate control too! That'd be a feature I would miss!

Yeah me too but I wanted the XTra(lol) .5 litre. A girl from work said "i'll be you $50 you'll put big chromies on it. I lol'd at her and i'll take the bet on I actually have some nice gold rims with silver lip picked out or perhaps even black with a silver lip
