Introduced as moniker for the mid-life facelifted City in the summer of 1999, the Type Z was available in LXi, EXi and (later) VTi. Upgrades include bigger headlights, front and rear bumpers, front grille, new trunk, tailights, etc...
I'm not so sure on the difference bet. the LXi and EXi but the VTi had a 1.5li VTEC engine as well as an all disc brakes setup.
I just acquired a '97 City LXI or EXI not really sure from my cousin who is migrating abroad... just want to ask any specific tips regarding that model.. as of now kasi, casa maintained pa siya kaya comfortable naman ang ride... or kung may mga common problems ba ung model na un that i need to watch out for? thanks!
