handle amazing adn the sound of the engine is luvly, soo reliable aswell. superb interior and they hold their value very well

edit

Here's a 1999 civic ad taken fron Autotrader.

1999 HONDA CIVIC 1.6 VTi 3dr [AC] Hatchback,
59,000 miles, Red. ABS, Air conditioning, Body coloured bumpers, Central locking, Drivers airbag, Electric door mirrors, Electric windows, A/C, CD changer, VTI alloys,COBRA alarm, 2 previous owners. 160 BHP DOHC EK4 engine, FSH, MOT & TAX. Standard VTI no modifications very good clean example. £3,950. ono

Is a Jap 1.6 CTR worth nearly twice the price of a UK spec VTI...?

I think not.

What does the 1.6 CTR weigh?

I've read it does 0-60mph in 5.7sec but i find it hard to believe unless it weighs around 950kg's which i doubt it does...

I'd guess it's around 1050 - 1100kg's which would give it a 0-60mph time in the low to mid 6's.
