The problem with VTECs is that they are hugely complicated beyond need, and a fortune to have serviced. You need to be handy with the spanners and need a few special tools if you are going to do it yourself.
VFRs prior to this are about the most reliable things on the road and people rack up huge mileages without dramas. Not that I'm saying that VTECs aren't reliable, just that they solved a problem that didn't exist by bunging all that complicated stuff in there.
