thanks for that guys, yea im not comparing the two cars as for me the zed wins hand down anyway but im thinking with my head and not my heart for once so its got to go.
Im not looking to spend a fortune on one anyway so might settle for a newer high mileage version if people think the engines are bullet proof.
Always had the same opinion Tarmac in that ive gone for bigger engines had a big 3.0 BMW both petrol and diesel and they were great but want to get a feel for a vtec, just being a petrol head i guess
