In addition there should be a chrome trim along the door edges along the gutter, door handles and side mirrors are same as the body color.

The 1.5's engine would have a big "VTEC" on it.

correct sila.. or, you can check the side of the valve cover if it has a solenoid.. kung meron vtec yan pag wala non-vtec..

Check the Certificate of Registration.

the difference between lxi and vtec is.......lxi has a smaller engine while the vtec has a bigger engine and in addition inside the engine it electronically shifts the camshaft which produce a synchronize shifting and resulting to fuel efficiency.....and its engine is strong compared to exi...

may type z ex, lx and vtec. the lx and ex variant have almost the same physical apperance. you can only distinguish the difference with the rim (13" for lx, 14" for ex). or, check the cr. if the displacement is 1.3, that's lx. if it's 1.5, that's ex. both engines have hyper 16 valve label on the valve cover. vtec has the vtec label on the engine valve cover. also, vtec variant have rear disc brakes. i hope this helps.

i have the same model car (02 1.5 MT type Z) i agree with ejaydpogi. but mine has both the VTi and VTEC emblem sa trunk door as well. i'm just not happy with the gauge panel, sana backlit sya. has any similar owner converted his/hers to the backlit replacement gauge panel?
