i used to drive a type z vtec from 2003 till 2009, I bought it new and it was a problem free car..only thing was i had to change the oxygen sensor twice. Once was still under warranty the other was just recently before i changed the car. The car was near perfect, the fellow who bought it is a lucky fella...hehe.

The fuel consumption was very good and the power was also sufficient. for those who are planning to upgrade from a sx8 to a type z vtec,if it is at a good price go ahead. Even 03 reg models are very affordable now..happy driving.
