No, its just that if you are going to go to all the trouble of putting an MPFI motor in, why not go the G16B which has a far better, more usable torque curve for off-roading...

I agree with the statement about the low-down torque of the G16B
but both the 1.6L Balino of the GTi engines have their advantages...just depends what terain you're going to drive....if you like to rev your engines to 7,500rpm all day long then get the GTi or if you prefer the low torque of the 1.6L then get the Balino...both are fantastic options

The GTi engine with gearing/diff gears they are a great combination with heaps of usable power

Good luck with whatever you decide

thanks mate. thats true, iv driven my mates swift gti and its gutless under 4.5k rpm so you would need to rev it hard for 4x4ing.

terrain i would drive i guess would be gravel/dirt/small rocks/hills/prob mud i havent done much 4x4ing yet so i gotta see what the areas are like around where i live haha
