We also had a AE101 and AE111 1.3L back in the day and it served its purpose. I prefer EFI cars as these are more consistent with the FC and they're more straightforward to maintain in my case.

Are there no issues that na tirik ang EFI on long drives, pagnatirik kasi ang 2e, madali lang i-trouble shoot ng kahit sinong mechanic, ang EFI ba mahirap i-trouble shoot ??

hehehehehee .. I'm not single anymore, my current 2e 1.3 is use as a family car ... usually a up to 5 people plus luggage in the trunk, thats where the extra power of the GLI 1.6 could be put to good use .. Cannot afford an old school sportivo as of the moment .. I'm currently in a crossroad whether to sell my 2e 1.3, the thing that scares me is what if I've regret buying an EFI when problems arise, it the cost of repairing an EFI compare to a carburetor .. a carburetor is easy and cheap to maintain .. but underpowered nga lang ..

I had the same problem with power so i invested in a supercar with 600bhp also dated chicks who weight at most 115 pounds. Pag 118 pounds parang underpowered na yung Ferrari. Then again I weigh 400 pounds so baka ako may problema. Hehe

Kidding aside make sure well maintained ang makuha mo na gli.

Yung 18 yr old GLi ko naibiyahe pa ng buyer sa La Union.

generally, an EFI engine is more fuel-efficient than a carbed engine.
efi adjustments also last much longer than carb...
but once the efi starts acting up, it can be a bigger pain in the head as well as in the wallet, to fix.
