AWD 230hp V6 3.3L
Torque: 224ft-lbs. @ 4400 rpm

you prob knew the specs...  it sounds like a heck of a car! ... i may regret this.. but im almost positive that im buying it.. keep it for a while... and decide wheather to sell my 240 or not... i want your opinions on the SVX.. i love the looks... i mean.. i love it.. in fact i love it so much that if it had a vagina i'd fuck it! how's reliable is it? is it a good car? a better car then the 240? it will be mine in 2 weeks depending on your feedback... please help me.. about $4k depends on you guys! thank you... later!

i've heard they were good cars, but aren't they all automatics?  also i heard there was almost no aftermarket for them and they were pretty heavy so the 230hp really doesn't do much for it, i was considering them before my 240 as well.  it could be a nice winter car though, who knows. let us know if u can find out any more information

My friend has one, it's a quality car. It does weigh 3580 lbs though. It does 0-60 is about 7.3

The interior is very nice, not much of a back seat, kinda like the 240's.  AWD is very nice if you go to the snow, slap on an AWD sticker or they'll make you put on chains.

Up to you, it's a good car, you said 92 which is the first production year so.. i guess depends on the condition of your 240. $4k seems like a pretty good price. I would have both if I we're you but that's just me

also make sure its AWD, some earlier ones were FWD and i ended up finding a good number of those and thinking they were all AWD before i did mroe research.

damn! when you said almost no aftermarket you meant it! holy crap.. can't find shit for that car! lol! second.. too many problems.. one that really upset me is that wheel bearings were badly made and are prone to break.. which means.. no hard cornering... transmission is also a prob... it gets too heated up! well.. reviews in general aren't the best.. only thing that still makes me wanna buy it is its rarity! i love rare cars... that you cant five one on every corner (hondas).. thats the reason i went for the 240! thats the reason i might go for the SVX! i'd be the only one with SVX! lol.. later!

the name of the car is SVX! and im taking a guess here i think that STD just means Standard.. no options!

Well you did your homework you would have known that the SVX has a horrible tranny, before you posted. &nbsp;40k miles and a new tranny or rebuild is in order. &nbsp;Now if it was a second car that would be fine but it seems to me its not much a buy.
