Highline came in 2 colours mulberry and magic black. With matching leathers also colour coded rear spoiler and side trims. Badges where also different they look like shiny dominos with VR6 in them.
They come fully loaded with Air con, sunroof .. Oh and they don't have a plastic side skirt.

The highline did come in the 2 colours mentioned but there were 2 shades of black. They came with all the toys as some one else has said, the leather should be heated aswell. They should have a wood look gear knob and 6 spoke alloys as opposed to the bbs x spokes (that are the biggest arse to clean) If you do go to look at a highline just make sure it says VR6 highline on the log book if it dont then it aint. :smiley: You can get some high spec vr6s with all the same toys as a highline that people will try to pass off as one.

a few other touches highlines have over standard VR6's is the A,B,C pillar trims are black not cream, there is a console aoround the handbrake lever. aircon standard climate was optional

Personally having owned a VR6 find the engine very heavy for cornering and also very thirsty on fuel.

the 16V although slightly less power is a far better all round car lighter engine for better handling and being only a 2litre better gas mileage.

however top spec 16V's are far harder to find than top spec VR6's

oh rly? .. guess i got lucky...

i guess the only extra highlines dont come with stock is cruise control?

oh and.. which flavour air-con does the highline have?

for example.. my valver has the "AC button" type.. but i hear some models have "climatronic"
Used to have a '97 MK3 16v GTI 3dr in 'Black Magic'... now have a '55 Civic Type-S...
