Brake discs replaced at 60,000 miles.
Exhaust replaced at 4 years old.
Tyres last approximately 25,000 miles.
Interior beginning to rattle a bit.
Clutch in need of attention shortly (gear selection sometimes difficult).
Great performance (0-60 in 7 seconds according to some road-tests) though you need to use the gearbox to make it fly. Sounds superb between 5-8000rpm.
Surprising civilized around town considering the engine's state of tune. Handling/cornering excellent, although the steering is very light and lacks feel.
Luggage space limited due to intrusive rear suspension.
Rear visibility poor.
General build quality good, but the interior is starting to rattle a bit now.
Interior rather dull for a hot hatch.
7 seconds to 60? Mine's modified to 189bhp and I can only manage it in 7.5 seconds. I agree with you on the rest of it though. Honda seem to have spent all their time and money on the engine, and ignored the interior. Mine rattles and squeeks on the inside like an old Lada now (45000 miles).
Evo say 0-60 in 7.0, Performance Car said 7.2, Autocar 7.4, Top Gear 7.7. I like to quote 7.4 myself, I agree that 7.0 sounds a little optimistic.
I have a 96 VTI and with basic modifictions, mine will do 0-60 in 7secs. Tested using a GPS speed reader and timer. Fantastic car.
