    GP1 - Oil burn / Sludge issues
    GP5 - DCT issues

    :baffled:

    GP1 - Some GP1 burns oil after 100k KM and could be fixed with modified original piston rings. Not a serious issue.

    GP5 - DCT issue on pre 2015 models. Mostly due to lack of clutch oil change in proper intervals. Costs about 300-400k to replace the clutch kit.

    Not after 100k. I've seen GP1s having the oil burning issue even before hitting the 50k mark. Take a look at local motoring forums - multiple cases of low mileage GP1s having this issue has been recorded.

    DCT issue has been discussed intensively here on elakiri

    DCT ප්‍රශ්ණයක් තියෙනවා දන්නවනේ DCT box එකේ odd gears වලට වෙනම clutch එකකුයි even gears වලට වෙනම clutch එකකුයි තියෙනවා. සම්න්‍යයෙන් multi plate clutch තමයි පාවිච්චි කරන්නේ ඒ කියන්නේ අඩුම clutch 2ක් even 2i , odd 2i Honda i -DCD එකේ තියෙන්නේ clutch එක ගානේ ඔය දෙකටම, clutch එකේ තියෙනවා Friction surface එකක් එකෙන් තමයි rotary motion එක transmit කරන්නේ clutch එක තව friction/steel disk එකක ඇතිල්ලීමෙන් ඇතිවන ඝර්ශණයෙන් එකට බදල අල්ල ගැනීමෙන්. දැන් වෙන්නේ මේකයි 3rd gear 4000 rpm වලින් transmission input shaft එක කැරකෙනවා කියල හිතන්න, දැන් 4th gear එක වැටෙනකොට ඔය 4000 rpm වලින් කැරකෙන එකට clutch එක තද කරලා අල්ලනවා oil pressure එකෙන් එතකොට ලොකු heat එකක් generate වෙනවා මොකද එක clutch එකයි තියෙන්නේ friction surface area එක මදි ඉතින් ඔහොම ගොඩක් දුර යනකොට up shift වෙලා හෝ traffic එකේදී downshift වෙන නිසා clutch 2කේ heat එක වැඩි වෙලා friction surface එක melt වෙනවා. එතකොට gear change වෙන්නේනෑ clutch එක slip වෙනව. ඒක නිසා තමයි race car වල dual clutch pack එක oil bath එකක දාල තියෙන්නේ මේකේ තියෙන dry clutch දෙකක් නිසා cool වෙන්න විදියක් නෑ සහ තනි clutch එක නිසා load එක වැඩි, contact surface එක මදි සහ generate වෙන heat එක වැඩි engage වෙනකොට.

    For GP1 you have to get the repair kit issued by Honda with 4 new pistons. then you have to take your engine apart and replace every consumable rubbers in addition to pistons which actually has the problem. I don't think it's a simple everyday repair. Agent quotes more than 100K for this.

    in GP5 it's not related to oil change at all but the design of the clutch pack itself. Our climate is partly to blame.

    Not trying to condemn any of these cars and they are pretty great looking hatches we have but has to be aware of potential problems as no car is perfect. As for the differences

    1. GP1 has IMA hybrid system where as GP5 is a full hybrid. GP5 does good on fuel than GP1 + little more reliable.

    2. GP1 has CVT transmission and GP5 has DCT.
