From a collection point of view, a stock condition, unmolested lean-burn VX in awesome shape would simply be awesome!! Post pics if you get one!!

I LOVE my METRO ....LOVE IT.....BUT! I'm an ex Honda tech and if I found a VX or an HF for a good price I'd drop my Metro. The amount of parts/prices available for a Honda is unfair. The engine is almost as easy to work on as a Metro ( ALMOST ). The only problem is finding one that has not been molested by some JDM freak ! It pisses me off when I see these HF's and VX's dropped-chopped and hopped. They say they make great donor cars because they are light. Yea but after they put in all that aftermarket crap and a bigger engine the car weigh 1 1/2 times more than normal. Please save these Hondas if you see them! |

A VX would destroy a Metro in MPG in most of the commutes the people who drive Metros use them. The VX/Insight are MPG kings at those speeds. |

So you're saying that Honda went to all the trouble of developing this lean burn system, but couldn't figure out how to get it to work during the EPA test? Poppycock. |

There are some folks on mpgomatic and ecomodder that supposedly get 50 or 60 mpg highway with little effort, just driving light footed, and using E0 gas. |

I think he is saying the EPA is wrong, not honda. I have beat epa estimates in all my cars by driving them easy. |
