GDI is just junk, i wouldn't want one if you gave it to me for free...
I don't know about GDI being junk, I've had too many of them problem free to make that statement. My current F150 has 375 horsepower and 470 lbs/ft of torque from 213 cu in.
Not sure I could get that kind of performance out of port fuel or a carburetor.
Never had a valve deposit problem with any of them.

Please, tell us how you really feel about GDI
Never mind GDI, he probably doesn't like fuel injection either.
I admit to being a bit concerned that the Titan has GDI, pulled the PCV lines recently and they're dry inside so feeling a little better about it.

I do, but it's not by choice. I have to wring out the 3cyl turbo in my focus on on-ramps so I can get onto the highway at a decent speed.
For what it's worth, I'm around 185K miles on my turbo-GDI. I've had to replace the PCV valve once, but that's because sometimes I idle the car for hours when I sleep in it on super cold nights on roadtrips. $45 and 30 minutes later and no PCV issues since.
