i was buying a GDI last year, but i hear the transmission gives rel problems..and dat no-one here can fix it with assurity. Plus i know ppl who buy it, and de car does jus cut-off...a/c and radio everything playing, but de engine jus cut off jus so. Yes, GDI iz a best for rallying and ting, but i doh think its the way to go as yet.

And oh yea, if u buying GDI foreign used, mitsubishi will NOT service it..nothing at all. so, u'll have to rel find a mechanic to fix any and all problems. mitsubishi does only dedal with de GLXi and CVT now.

i hope i was helpful dey. peacec bro.

i find the new GDI engines give more trouble than the original GDI 4G93 which just needs proper fuel injector servicing and blocking out the EGR to stop the carbon build up.............since they change over to the drive by wire thing......nothing wrong with the engines since they are mechanically sound......is just dat the roads to bad here an it breaks / loosens a magnet in the darn trottle body.

throttle body does giver real hell, get the glx version, hardly any problems

^^ He's right, the glx version comes with the sohc 4g92 and a normal tranny.
also with the these vehicles the gdi and glx alike, engine mountings go pretty quickly

^^^i'm right, you hadda be talkin bout another model all togther

bd319, both the local glx and the roro gdi models come with cvt. however a 5 forward manual is available for the glx.

to be a bit more technical, the 4g15 gdi engines come mated to the cvt transmission. the 4g18 efi engines (glx) come with the cvt but can also use the manual gearbox. (F5M41)
