One caveat about Hondas with the VTEC engine: as this engine ages, oil consumption tends to increase substantially. Honda considers oil consumption on this engine of 1 quart every 1,500 miles or so to be within acceptable limits. If you google “Honda excessive oil consumption,” you will find articles about this issue. It is VERY important to check the engine oil level every time you refuel. Oil starvation of the engine can lead to some very serious mechanical problems – and expensive repairs.
