My mate has one, nice car basically the same as a 1.6 vti (160bhp) with some cosmetic JDM parts IIRC. They have more exclusivity but are pretty much the same.
Only a little slower than my type r too!

if you're looking at these have you thought about the accord type r. prices start at 3 grandish. probably not a whole lot less economical than one of these if driven properly

thanx for your opinion's guys. im looking in the dark with these because i dont know where to start with honda's as iv always had vauxhall's. is there any common fault's i need to look out for when im viewing one of these? yes andy i have had a look at the accord but it seems a bit bigger than the vtis. i know it dosnt seem a great deal in size but im not a fan of big cars.

only faults i know of are
Rusting where the rear bumper meeats the arch.
Bushes go in suspension
Engines will go forever but the can leak oil a bit if its had a hard life.
Thats about it, i personally realy like them i was thinking of when i get my next car i want to get the vti aerodec model with the body kit, drop it 50mm and do a few engine bits
