Hondas have loud engine?
I looked at a 99 Civic EX today. don't know much about Hondas but are their engines generally louder than Toyotas? Their accleration is not as smooth either. I just wanna know if this is a regular thing or not. If it is, why doesn't Honda fix it?
Also, I didn't see a VTEC logo on the engine. Maybe it was too dirty and it was hidden?

I don't think honda are louder or have an acceleration problem. Sound like the car you look at wasn't maintain well enough. My Civic had more miles than my friends and his motor was a lot louder. I bought my new and his was used. So I figure his Civic was not taken care of before he got it.

Alot of cars have a noisy valvetrain. Exspecially four bangers. Sometimes sludge and deposits from motor oil build up on the components that make up the valvetrain. They make products that clean and coat the metals making the noise go away.
