Refused to start once because of a flat battery. Nothing else.
Dealer service good but expensive. VTEC engine allows 8,200 rpm gearchanges! Good performance above 5,200 rpm, can feel ordinary below that figure. Overall highly recommended.
Mine doesn't Rev that high. Has yours been tampered with?
The sohc engine found in the esi does not rev to 8k+ as standard the rev limiter cuts in at around 7.2k
the dohc vtec vti engines can rev to 8.2k before the limiter.
