hey there, I dont think all GDI are bad, i have a 1998 V40 GDI full service history and one owner, and it works amazing.. Super smooth, good on fuel and a pleasure to drive...

but like they all said it must have good service history, and you must look after it as well...

Try this mate http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/used-p...ate=66&issue=0
It'll probably be the same engine as your mum's mitsubishi.
The choice is yours really, have you read my 'Are GDI's crap@ post'
