Have to say I am very pleased with the GDI engine, have run my Morgan's on Shell high octane fuel for years and will continue to do so with my current car and it gets used as a sports car should, lots of revs. I have read that a few years ago there were problems with GDI engines that were used for mainly short journeys and pottering about but not something that worries me at all. I could be proved wrong however whilst more than willing to be critical when justified, as I have been about Morgans lack of quality control, I have to say that the Morgan (ford) GDI is in my view a fantastic engine and whilst biased this is my third Morgan and I have driven many more. Each to their own but drive a car with a few thousand miles on it and make your own mind up.
