Warning: this car is NOT for the faint of heart. Its 1.8l v4 VTEC is a real neck breaker. (VTEC means a turbo kicks in a 5000 rpm and adds power).

With such a low-powered engine, especially with those awful slushbox automatics - it really does feel like a boost when you get into the bigger cam profile. I had a '94 with the 1.5L 130hp engine and a 5 speed manual. It redlined at 8,000, and normal driving required hitting at least 6,500 before shifting. Those things are damn near unbreakable, though - I once drove it at top speed (118 mph) for 14 straight hours and sold it with 250,000 miles on the clock.
What I think is funniest is the "$8,000 paintjob" on the $3,000 car.
