omg.. i never knew i had lil carbon-fibre bits in my car?! though they were just cheaper versions... but yes VTiR is the gO!
Why would the Si be cheaper to run?
They are both quoted to have almost identical fuel usages, the Si actually being slightly less economical.
im probably wrong when i say this but i would assume, vtec - being classified as a high preformance car, require tuning on services, use high preformance oils, high octane fuels etc... which essentially hold a higher dollar value therefore being more expensive to maintain.
it probably wouldnt be that much of a difference between a stock Si VS stock VTi-R though most honda owners who own Vtec models, at some stage, will modify their machines (who can resist) this then creates more needed attention (more $$$).
I dont usually see modified base model hondas.
Some of those are fair enough, but the oils are the same, both would use Honda FEO.
The fuels are different, the VTiR needing 95 and the Si needing 91.
