November 2012
Did you get a good deal and why?
I have much experience with these cars as have previously owned two Civic Aerodeck VTIs and an ESI N reg.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Because I am yet to find a more reliable manufacturer than Honda and the VTI-S is a very good performer as a fast road car whislt still returning 32mpg from 170bhp DOHC that revs to 8,500rpm - it's amazing, basically it's a detuned Integra Type R for £800 - amazing!
What was the dealer like?
Normal chap just wanted to change for something cheaper.
