is this the circa 2001 VTI/VTI-S?
my friend used to own one. ok naman maintenance. FC is around 8 kpl/city 12 kpl/highway and around 10 kpl mixed.
matic na vti-s yung oto nya.
Let me just add in na hindi sya 3rd generation, its known as the 7th generation of the Civic. A good everyday driver, but probably the unwanted child of Honda.
^ maybe the TS got confused because the sticker plastered behind most es civics (i think) showcases the vtec-3 designation w/c, as most honda boys are aware of, pertains to its engine, not to its numerical model generation (did i just make sense? )
