Both rear callipers seized due to the car being stood for 4 months before I took ownership.
Standard Honda alarm and immobiliser problem left the engine dead due to the fault. Now sorted.
Insurance - a rip off at group 14! Tax too.
A pretty good car overall, and looks great even now after all these years. Plenty of street cred and aftermarket parts.
The vtec engine is brilliant. It will rev to 7200rpm with 123bhp, and that makes it a car not to be messed with off the lights. Will hit 60mph in 8.7 seconds.
Had a dabble with Saxo VTR and it burnt it, animal.
Reliability is very good, and these can be picked up for about a grand for a good one.
If you think the ESi, is quick you should try a VTi, it's insurance group 16, but it's worth it. It's 160bhp and it will hit 60 in 7.0-7.5 seconds.
