Nothing wrong with VTEC engines.... very reliable.... probably one of the best range made

Ive had a turbo, and driven 3 VTEC engined cars .... i can honestly say power delivery on each is as good on all of them... depends on the turbo car to be honest mate... my mr2 used to spool up at 2800 which was nice

Vtec engines arent exactly shy below 5500 rpm, put it this way a B16B would run rings round a corsa gsi 
then after 5500 rpm, just watching that needle pull all the way to 8000 or 9000 rpm is a joy and the noise is immense 
Plus a vtec engine can be quite fuel efficient if you drive it politely
