I like Hondas FWD-cars. Especially the R-Types. They are very nice and has a V-Tec engine too.

Yea, Honda does make great FWD cars. I wish they would make more RWD too though especially the MR set up.

i don't like so much the V-tec engines...i mean they have great power (civic type r 2.0lt-200bhp, S200-240bhp,the old civic v-tec 1.6lt-160bhp) they reach raves that other cars could only immagine(9000rpm)but they produce this power suddenly above the 5500rpm....what do you guys think?

Well, each entitles to their own opinion. Yea, I know few people that don't really like the VTEC engine due to the lack of torque unless the VTEC engage which is always at a pretty high RPM. I, myself, love the VTEC engine though but yea, I do wish they have more torque at the low end. I love those Honda high revving engine. It's quite fun to drive. I never drove the new i-VTEC engine but from what I know it's suppose to give you more torque at the low to mid RPM.

Kteo2003,

I know what you mean. There's nothing much to play around under 4,000rpm making such such a puny engine. Also, you'll only use first, second and third gear for spirited driving which is wierd and ruin your driving enjoyment.

let just say that i-vtecs give the torque 1000rpmlower than v-tecs...i don't say that they are notgood engines but they kind o remind me cars with turbos...you know the famous turbo lag and then.......the power....
