    So, @ramdr, now you know how to identify a GDI Lancer... Just pop the hood and take a look at the intake manifold. To sum everything up;

    S2P8ScQ.jpgIf the intake manifold looks like this and/or if it has a engine cover with GDI lettering and/or if it has a GDI emblem anywhere on the body it's a reconditioned JDM Lancer CS2 with a GDI engine.

    nsB0ZTa.jpgIf the intake manifold looks like this, it's a reconditioned Lancer CS2 with a PFI (EFI) engine. (So you shouldn't turn down a CS2 just because the CR says it's reconditioned; it could still have a PFI engine)

    Most of the GDI CS Lancers are pre-facelift ones. A majority of them are CEDIA. 

    The GDI engine can be identified by it's different intake manifold and fuel injectors. Some GDI engines came with an engine cover that has the GDI logo on it. Some also have the GDI emblem on the front fenders near the side indicators.

    @ramdr, The CS Lancer has been discussed at length on the forum. Please search. 

    thanks davy

    CS1 and CS3 Lancers does not come with GDI engines so you don't need to worry about them.

    As for CS2 Lancers with 1500CC engines there are both GDI and PFI versions. Easiest way to recognize one would be checking the CR (the book) - if the car was imported brand new it should have a PFI engine as the local Mitsubishi agent, Unit#d Mot#rs, didn't import Lancers with GDI engines AFAIK. Only reconditioned JDM imports came with GDI.

    I think @Davy would be able to provide a more detailed reply on how to differentiate a GDI CS2 from a PFI CS2.

    ? is that so...

    i thought that entire range is with both GDI and EFI options. then now worries of buying cs1 or 3 right?

    I'm really bouncing between axela and lancer

    For 2.8 you can get a lancer that is less than 10 years old easily - ideally a CS3[The GDI ones are at the lower end of the spectrum around the 2.2 Mill mark] . Fuel consumption won't differ a lot between the 3 models. Resale-wise the ES5 would have the edge.  Overall you would have a higher probability of finding a really good lancer for that budget. 

     

    Thank you....

     

  5. Guys,

    Looking to by a car with a budget of 2.2mn to 2.8mn. Heard that lancer cs1,2,3 are good options but those are with GDI engines. and 1300 cc engine of CS1 may consume more fuel. 

    What would be the best option in terms of fuel consumption, reselling value and overall experience?

    Lancer CS 1/2/3, ES 5, Mazda Axela?????

    If you came across another thread pls share. 

  6. Guys,

    I'm looking to buy a car with a budget of 2.6,7 mn. Any suggestions?

    thought of buying a Honda (civic ES5) or Mitsubishi (lancer). I've been told that better to go for 1500 cc or less capacity vehicle.

    Since this is my first hands-on experience in buying a recondition vehicle, seeking your expert advice on this. 

    Thanks
