Mitsubishi 4G93
GDi modifications are known for the frequent vagaries of the direct fuel injection system.
In 1992, the Mitsubishi Emeraude car appeared in Japanese car dealerships – a front-wheel drive hardtop (sedan without a central pillar) based on the Galant model. The car had a characteristic squat design, and its interior was made with a claim to luxury.

Despite the fact that the car is made in a high class, the comfort for the rear passengers is not very high. The last Emeraude rolled off the assembly line in 1998.
The Mitsubishi Emeraude is listed offered with 3 engines (3 petrol). Displacement ranges from 1.8 to 2.0 liters, power output from 110 to 215 hp. All of them use a timing belt. 1 is turbocharged. The longest rated lifespan belongs to the Mitsubishi 4G93 (about 350,000 km).
