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!
