We just test drove a normal 2000 VTEC Civic the other day here in town - the EX model has a SOHC VTEC motor standard. It's the Si model with a DOHC motor that I think is difficult to find.

I don't wanna have to replace a friggin timing belt on a car for hopefully several years at least. Don't get me started on timing belts... any design that recommends a 60,000 mile replacement interval or risk destruction of the engine is a bad design, and it seems like almost all of these 4-bangers have them.
