My friend had one for a while...

Quick for a small engine, and the VTEC-E for Economy is a decent, strong reliable engine if given good regular servicing and maintenance.

Returns good MPG on a run as well, which is the beauty of the V-tec system.

Enjoy it mate...

Not sure about the earlier ones, but I know the later ones had a wee green "economy" light that came on when cruising.. Just to let you know that you are driving like a granny returning max MPG!!

IIRC they come with 115bhp, which is enough to make it quite a nippy wee car.
