2.5L i believe... they make pretty decent power as well.. but like any honda they are as good as they've been cared for

it's a good car, friend of mine from work drives one, but yeah only down side is that because it's so unique parts are expensive, but as long as you take care of it you should be fine, especially if you're only trying to get one year out of it.

she's had it for about 4 years now and no major problems 250K +

From honda peeps I talked to, it's apparently an excellent motor. 2.5 5cyl. Something about racing inspired motor. Anyone have more insight into this motor?

I can't say much about the other components of the car. ie tranny, body, suspension.etc.

Just because you want a year out of it doesn't mean you buy it.

You need to take into consideration selling the car after the fact. How difficult will it be?

i don't think it would fit at all...

the vigor is way bigger than an eg, plus being a 2.5 inline 5, probably not enough room to fit it

vigor is the old TL.
the car is amazing. id take one any day. fast and looks nice. dont have to do much to make it look pretty either.
stick some yellow bulbs in lights (if its not already in the front), add some rims and ur set.
whats good about it is that its a luxury car but isnt as beastly as the ones that are out today. if u look at the vigor (prior to 1995) and the TL (after 1996), it like exploded.
good buy man. take good care of it
