Is it worth the extra $$ to go to a VTI-s over a VTI

[Catcha]

I got quoted $23500 for a VTI manual including on roads and about 26g for the VTI-S..... just wondering if it's worth the 2g or so for bodykit and mags ???? was about to sign for a civic gli for $24990 but did not look like a real saving of only $1650 when I worked it out


Any Advice is welcome

Where you gettin it from???
I got a really good deal on my VTi-S and it was worth every dollar...

I paid $24,650 for 2004 VTi-S manual with Sports Grille, Alarm, Floor Matts and Tinted Windows... Plus full tank of fuel and 1 yr rego :D

I got this at the Parra dealer

[Geoffy]

Mine also included on road cost and dealer delivery charges hehehe forgot to mention hahaha

IMO depends :confused: .

however when i got my vtis i didnt look ahead enought into mods as the jazz was only out for a couple of months when i got mine.

the body kit is a body kit and i personally like the look of both the vtis and vti and it comes down to personal preference on that.

with the wheels however if you dont plan on getting a new set of rims then i would get the vtis. If you are goin to change the wheels i suggest a vti. Reason being the vtis comes with wider wheels at the back i think from memory and better tyres.

are there any other differences? like interior differences between the two?

I'm getting this in Darwin dealership, so fingers crossed that i get a good deal, decided to go the VTI for a no frills package and later on if i get the urge to whack a kit and mags well, its there for the taking. but if there can be a good deal on the VTI-S might go that extra

Thanks

AFAIK both F/R are 185/55 R15.
and you are right, they are good tyres - B'stone RE040 <- used for the JDM Civic Type R.

2004 model black vti

honda factory red seat cover

....

er, why is that? (G3s and not RE040?)

the G3s are pretty good. they have the "lip" that protects the rim.

i had the G2s on my old car. lasted well over 40000 kms :thumbsup:

IMO it all comes down to what you like....

Me, I prefer the subtle lines of the VTi dumped on it's arse as opposed to the somewhat standout-ish kit of the VTi-S. That said I still don't mind the VTi-S at all, but to me it's just extra money that can be spent on other mods....

I'm not a fan of the leather steering wheel either. I find with the leather that Honda uses it tends to go really shiny. I just think he VTi steering wheel suits the interior better.

I don't think there's a problem with the honda steering wheel, it all depends on how you treat the leather. :)

[kimbi]

also the vtis comes with fog lights :)

my dealer i was going to get the jazz from but decided to save some money first just contacted me on monday telling me the brand new jazz is out in a couple of weeks!!!! exciting!! =)

[petrovski]

I have no idea why they came with G3's :confused: :D

The different wheel sizes between the Vti and Vti-s from honda:

Vti (http://www.honda.com.au/jazz/vti/specifications/dimensions.htm)

Vti-s (http://www.honda.com.au/jazz/vti-s/specifications/dimensions.htm)

i want leather steering wheel~!!!!!!

[Catcha]

Decided to get the VTI-S opposed to if I was getting the VTI i would add rims and stuff, which my wife does not want me to do, after seeing the amount of money I poured into my WRX. I be content with this car for a fews years and then get into the Euro Scene

[Jus-10]

It's a good choice if you're not looking to spend money on it....

Then you can save up for your euro car....that's when you need the big $$$

I changed the wheels on my VTiS....... 15 x 7...... too wide...

[TypeG]

i choose Jazz over Enro and i spend all the money left over for my jazz since euro is just way too family car style and not as much mod for it.
also leather steeling wheel burn my hand when i drive my TypeR in summer . LoL

[TypeG]

If i had the cash like you i would have stuck with the Euro the amount of money you have to spend to get it go as fast as you Euro you migh as well by one from the start, it's like putting a turbo in a lancer why bother use that as a deposit and get a turbo car from factory.....but eveyone is different and i respect that :D

Oh you mean Euro Accord.....I thought you meant along the lines of a BMW or Benzo....the true 'euros'.

The Accord Euro is much better value than the BMW or Merc anyway!
