having driven a brand new top spec Starion ( many years ago in NZ when my Dad had a Mitsi dealership) and a 2 yo GTS Levin id take the Starion every time, they handle as well if not better than the AE85/6 the engine had a lot better response (obviously the turbo helped)
clearly time will have taken its toll on both cars, if your prepared to put in the effort then either car will be reliable and a lot of fun, I saw an immaculate one on Victoria Rd the other day and had fond memorys also they are now clear under the import rules.. but even in Japan its hard and very expensive to get a good condition one... most were snapped up for the Starion series in Japan many years ago.
the cyclone turbo engine from Japan was a pretty good engine in its time, and is still a very popular conversion option for the Cordia's here. Obviously just like any 4AG they are going to need some attention at the least and more than likely a full rebuild to be reliable again. Bang for buck the 4AG with turbo will probhably cost you less in terms of parts etc... but the 2.0L turbo starion is an awesome engine.
I have fond memorys of making a starion fly about 40cm off the ground over a railway crossing ... and sadder memories of smashing every bit of the factory flare kit and the front suspension when it landed at least my dad laughed at the time
goto the overseas mitsi forums and i think theres a japanese starion forum as well, do some research before you make a decision
