If only they weren’t all stolen, tuned, broken, have absurd mileage, or any combination of those . Cool cars, but I think the ship sailed on it.

The Mini Cooper Do ne Right

best British hatchback ever!!!!! Working Lucas electronics and VTEC YO !!!!!!!!!

The EP3 and RSX have real anti-theft shit, so they are much harder to steal than the Civics and Integras that came before.

Well, apparently these ones get stolen a lot.

I want to believe that there are a handful of well-cared for examples out there, but I fear that this basically went the way of the Integra or RSX - they’re all fucked and the ones that aren’t will not be for sale.

I think it’s kind of funny looking but I fucking love it.

Nah for a little more I would take an rsx type s.

IMO those things are ugly. But I will say its really the last of Honda's true hatchbacks with performance. When set up right those would be up on 3 wheels

I remember these being in showrooms- not that long ago. They were rather expensive for what they appeared to offer (at least on paper) IIRC.

In the UK, these were sold as the Type S. My first car was the Sport version, which had the same suspension and chassis parts as the Type S, but with a D16 engine instead of a K20. It was slow, but fun.

These ca n take high miles, so if you find a non-crashed, non-riced example, go for it.
