    good day masters!

    im planning on buying my first car, I already made up my mind that im going to get a honda civic... my budget is around 200k - 250k. Im torn in getting a 97 or a 99 civic.

    just want to know the difference between the VTec engines. difference on horse power, fuel consumption, etc...

    thanks in advance and more power.

    No idea, pero for your budget, get the 99-00 SIR body Civic. LXI is generally regarded as more frugal than the Vtec.

    No such thing as VTEC 1, 2 and 3.
    Perhaps you're talking about VTEC implementations:

    VTEC-E
    VTEC
    VTEC (3-stage)
    i-VTEC

    Difference in horsepower:
    VTEC-E is the least powerful
    VTEC is generally more powerful
    VTEC 3-stage is just a fusion of the two


    Difference in fuel consumption:
    VTEC-E is the most frugal
    VTEC is relatively frugal given it can produce higher power

    Not really that familiar with the i-VTEC pa, pero given its the freshest of the lot, it should be more powerful and efficient than the others....
