It's easy to say an ep3 is juicy tho as it's a 2litre and a stock ct9 will be cheap to run compared to it if u think like that you'll never change cars I think. Lol.

@ ktl I'd go for around 50-60k on the clock and some form of service history buddy that's what I did mines on 54k and runs like new I'd say if u need anymore info drop me a pm.

from what 2 friends who own one have told me its worse than my 200bhp hybrid GT fuel economy wise. i have heard they arent great on fuel in general, especially if you give it some.

plus the tax is almost twice as much.

Duno about the EP3 but my 200BHP B18 EK was seriously good on fuel... WHo buys fun cars for spectacular fuel consumption anyway?? An EP3 isnt going to be bad, now my 350Z is fucking bad lol! EP3 would be nothing compared to that. Not enough to be off putting surely. In general id say an EP3 would be one of teh best performance cars for fuel saving

Yeah stock they aint great but 60quid to fill it up and I get around 350-400miles a tank of varied driving but whack a hondata k pro in and you will get better fuel consumption and more power if u drove a starlet on boost all the time they drink it my v was lucky to get 240 miles a tank when u drove it hard and that's 45quid to fill up.

@dan3sgte can imagine the 350z is juicy but so worth it for the sound dude really nice car buddy.

Iv got an ep3 iv had since December and it's a really good car for what I want. As people have said it handles very well out the box, the brakes are also very good. It's not a FAST car but it's perfectly able,if you like blating round country lanes etc the ep3 is very good, I haven't modded it yet but I an looking to so a few subtle bits and pieces, 240bhp is quite easy to obtain out of them. My GT is defiantly faster in straight line. But tbh I find the civic a little more fun. Out of the list I'd probs go s2k tbh only because they seem like great cars!

Ummm big shock, BUT i did love the sound of this S2000 as it had a Decat, Buddy Club Exhaust and Spoon Manifold. Sounded so nice i didnt even care about the speed. Having said that now that i have sold my GT i regreat that too so on the look out again for something lol.

Yeah man he is your way, I was the frist registered owner got it imported through DCY Imports :) one of the best looking S2000's, just right, not over the top modifications and the paint job was spot on.

I've just made the move from a glanza to a DC5 and would advise that anyone looking at a honda should get one.

Very very nice cars, although they are expensive to modify!! Found that out rather quick.

I havent been here for a while now and since moving from my glanza i have had a few nice cars. i had a civic eg sir2 with a teg lump and to be really honest was not that impressed with honda etc. so decided that boost was the way forward. i currently own a Audi S4, spent a couple grand on it and now im running 450bhp with a shed load of torque. there is one for sale on one of my audi forums running 500bhp for £8500. these are brilliant practical cars. i relalise in your list your looking at hatch backs. anyway good luck!

Nice!

I like these cars, is that the old S4 with the 2.7 twin turbo engine? If so is that on stock turbos still running that power or did you have to put aftermarket ones on? Stock internals?
