vti vtec is nothing compared to a vti-r vtec

vti vtec is nothing compared to a vti-r vtec

dohc craps on sohc. sohc is like 'has vtec come on?' dohc w/ intake exhaust ' who kicked me in the back?"

dohc ftw.

i'd personally get whichever one was in better condition if you don't have a favourite model from the 2. especially service history. inspect everything from bushes, coolant quality (those with water in it just don't care! 20 bucks for coolant too much bother to protect from corrosion) oil leaks etc, to interior cleanliness. people that have clean cars tend to have pride in them and look after them alot better. straight panels and previous accident evidence (miscoloured panels/bumpers and signs guards etc been removed etc)

both are good cars and as said before those that a close to stock engine wise should provide many years faithful service.

OP which state are you in?

If its the black VTI i went and saw DO-NOT get it.

VTi-R's are a premium insurance vehicle, especially for the young 'uns.

Most of these vehicles will have come up to their 100,000Km major service. Timing belts and such.
Check for this or budget for it into the price.
