Driving
Blistering acceleration, and the VTEC noise! Handles like a rear wheel drive sportscar.
Performance
Runs outta steam at around 130, but can hit 150mph.

Reliability
Millions of VTECs made and not a single failure. You're buying an i-VTEC!

One of the greatest hot hatches ever produced, looks drop dead gorgeous.
Comfort
Standard spec is not all that, but you're not buying a Golf.
