Help with 2005 CIVIC GLI

[Sabinator]

Hey there everybody!

I am currently the owner of a 1990 Black Prelude and i am looking to buy a new car as the prelude is in its dying days :(

anyways im looking to buy a 2004-2006 civic and just have a couple questions;

Does the 2005 GLi have a V-TEC engine? As on some webites per example:

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/dealer/details.aspx?seot=1&R=9660704&silo=-1&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_Price_Decimal|1|| pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&Cr=&trecs=15&__N=1216%201247%201252%201282%204294965322%2042949 65250%204294765256

states it has a VTEC engine, but ive read that GLI's dont have a VTEC engine so im quite confused :S

and if not is there much of a difference between the VTEC?

cheers,

Sebastien

I think it's SOHC VTEC. It's a D17Z1 engine for your reference.

We had a 2005 Civic GLi 1.7 and it is not a Vtec engine.

GLi sedan has no vtec
Vi hatch has e-Vtec
