This Honda Civic is just so simple, and that’s the reason what makes it fun.

Its a great car. The engine induction sound is actually better than the exhaust, VTEC kicks in really good, you can use it as a daily and get great milage. To top it all, its a really solid and reliable engine.

[@stanleynaprava]

Its not about kicks in ONLY. My Fuel consumption in red and going normal is same. Take some different or turbo motor and try the same.

[@billyyss3244]

You said in 9:15 that its not really tha fast.For 2litre engine that has 200hp its very good.And dont forget that today this car is 16years old

[@supernick2072]

Hondas engineering team sure earned their salary making this legend.

[@lozza936]

Had my ep3 since October and I’m never getting rid of it its an amazing car with such a well engineered engine. Proper mans car that you actually have to drive properly in order to go fast instead of been in a A45 AMG for example and putting in sport mode and putting your foot down with tons of electronic computers monitoring you! I preferred heel and toe and left foot braking on country roads any day 😁

I love this edition of Type R Ep3 ❤💪

[@TProfileG]

I bought one of the first ep3 civics. I collected it 24th December 2001 and it was a 51 plate. When you bought New you got to go on a Honda MAC course. I took my mum and she was soon doing S bends at 105mph! Brilliant car!

[@ecosse543]

One of the best engines and gear boxes ever made. I had a brand new 2005 Civic Type R and i regret selling it. I've owned Golf Gti, Subaru Impreza and BMW's. But that little Civic Type R will always be my favourite. Wasn't the fastest car but the way it drove and looked and also that V-Tec engine was just perfect.

[@Mnorbert25]

Those days were legenedary back than, no boring tehnology this car has a caracter it's different !

[@mrboostification]

spend 5 years with this car, its something else.. greatly balanced. awesome as a track car.

[@Lagguage]

"Speed is a number, fast is a feeling.." hot hatches should be all about that, and this car 100% is a masterpiece. AND you can keep is alive easy and will still run 10/20 years later.

[@g0nzal3s]

OMG I used to have one of these in silver a looong time ago and I simply loved it.

[@TheBagpuss1967]

I’ve got one of these my other half bought it for me for my 50 th a couple of years ago , absolutely love it 😍 handles brilliantly an so much fun to drive 😀

[@freddieparrydrums]

That’s amazing

[@vasiavisilievic1873]

This Civic has a common problem with its steering rack, a plastic slider inside of it wears out, becomes very loose, and you get loose steering of your car. Checking and replacing it can improve things a lot. Speaking from my own experience.

[@santonelladada19860]

I had a fully stock EP3 30 anniversary with 47000km and held it until it had 150000. Full footh down gave me 240 easy and stop. Don't understand this one doesn't go more then 200 or so.. but it's a great car. I had 3 in total and still holding the last one with 270000 Miles on it! Love it

[@SuPeRbOmBeRmAn4]

rear independant suspension, the vtec cam, the drift, abs and asm, 8500 rpm redline, limited slip diff, quarter mile in under 15 seconds, are just some of the reasons that make this car not only fun and quick to drive but also make it an incredibly safe car to drive. if one needed more feedback through the steering column one should buy an old lotus or radical.

[@NikoWax]

There was no lsd in the European version only in the JDM.

[@K20TypeR]

@@NikoWax With an aftermarket one fitted it transforms the car!

[@footbollpro]

Best review, bring more of these old Legends on the channel.

[@Hajduk-Kralj]

Had a 04 EP3 JDM. It was 215hp, limited slip diff and i think the steering rack as different? It was so much fun to drive. It also had good storage and a simple layout. Owned it for 4 years and sold it for almost what i paid for it.

[@manccarguy]

Greymark shrewsnose1 I’ve got the premier edition 05 reg Cosmic Grey. Hoping to make it about 260/270- 300BHP. Very happy with it. I want a red FK8 one day hopefully.

[@greymark420]

[@K20TypeR]

Legendary cars. The sharp throttle response, turn in, relentless high rpm power and sense of involvement is rare to find these days in modern lazy heavy point and go hot hatches. These need an LSD though. I have a Quaife diff in mine and it has transformed the car. Improved traction and claws around corners. No understeer at all.

[@Plardo]

Nothing beats a good sounding and performance of a N/A engine. If you have never driven one then you're not a petrolhead.

[@sabermaster80]

I love my civic EP3 Type R. What it lacks in actual power it definitely makes up for in character. It is a legendary car though because EVERYONE!! wants to race you everywhere you go. I guess they want to see if it's a crazy 400hp little monster or not lol. I've got a tegiwa induction & DC catback so it sounds good, so when i drive around i've seen people behind me risk their lives & others around them just to get behind me. It's crazy the attention these cars can get.

[@chiefslief1886]

A little late here but...Yes I know exactly what you mean with them crazy people who see you driving this ep3... they do some dangerous and crazy stuff just to race you..even when you're driving normal.. People go beserck and will challenge you etc..it's crazy.. what happens in their mindset to race someone in full traffic,cutting you of,bumper to bumper tailgating.. It really stirs their inner demons... Crazy that I have this too in my dc2 type r....crazy

[@sabermaster80]

@@chiefslief1886 DC 2 Type R...That's a classic right there! Yeah it's just the reputation these cars have nowadays & all the countless video's of fast Type R's on youtube that gas people up when they see one on the road. Great cars though, so reliable too 👍🏿

[@janokaro8238]

i have the same one, and also i cosmic grey color, awesome car

[@jamessmith84240]

I had one of these for 7 years and I drove it like I stole it almost all the time. I went through loads of brakes and tyres but the engine and gearbox just took it and asked for more. If you can find one without rust they are amazing value for money.

Very funny how the Polo driver at 12:15 thinks he can hold up with the Civic :D The EP3 Type R is definetly my favourite out of all Type R's. I for myself drive the little brother of the EP3 - a 2004 EP2 in Midnight Black Pearl - as my first car and even the 110 hp it has make me smile every time I drive it :)

[@troofseeker2055]

Best car I ever had

[@invisiblekid99]

I had a Corolla T-Sport which did the same thing just a little less power (189bhp). Super, super fun to drive. When you hit that 6K rpm it just takes off. Quick changes keep it on that second cam too. The only thing was motorway cruising was not very nice, Revs really high at normal speeds. I think it was close to revs numbers half the speed so 80 mph was 4000 rpm. So a lot of droning. And yeah, it takes a long stretch to get to max speed. 120mph and above takes forever.

[@michal.laskowski.]

7:14 That shouldn’t happen, what you are talking about is bump steer and it happens when an ep3 is lowered too much. By the looks off it in the intro it looks lower than standard height. So to solve that you usually install a steering rack raiser 😉
