Found this on my local CL. For $5700, you can get a manual hatchback with a revvy 4-cylinder engine.

I'd be thinking more around $4500 for that.

That's alot of money. Are EP3's rare stateside or something, maybe they are just cheap in Blighty.

Well, I never knew it existed as an Si until recently.

Well if it is even half as good as the Type R I say buy it since that car is one of the best cars Honda have ever built.

I'm not buying anything, I'm a college student.
Also, what about the S2000 and the NSX? Aren't those also good Hondas?

I'd take it for about a thousand less.
As with ANY car with coil-overs, check the undercarriage. To many slam-bros out there totally destroying the underside by driving around with approximately a pubic hair's width ground clearance.

I just finished so I get that. I current weighing up buying an EP3 Type R (against a Honda based MG) since at £2000 they are relatively cheap and thanks to VTEC they avoid the insurance company's turbo tax.

Yeah of course they are but it just shows how good the EP3 Type R is.

It's not. It's got the 160hp, valve deactivation version of VTEC from the base RSX...

From what I've heard, it's more Type S than Type R—and I haven't heard many good things about the Type S.

Dooooo it. You'd have a practical-ish, reliable, reasonably modern car, that's also widely seen as one of the best hot hatches in history. I'm insane, so I'd spend the money on a creaky old 205, but you don't have to be like me.

The thing is on track it is briliant, I loved revving it out but on a daily basis especially where I live with stop start traffic, I'm not sure I can live with that and there is the longbridge born elephant in the room that is the MG ZS 180.

Also nothing insane about the 205 it is Chris Harris approved.

Well, it's up to you, I suppose. I'm constantly revving like mad anyway—them's the joys of 1.1 litre motoring.

A hair too pricey. You could toss on another $1000-$2000 and buy yourself a Civic Si from the following generation that comes with extra power, a 6th gear, and an LSD.

But can I get all that in an EP3 or an EK9 body style? If not, pass .

Yes. The Japanese-market EP3 Type-R came with all those things and that same drivetrain can fit into an EK9 with some minor finessing.

Rhetorical question. Sorry, should have been clearer.
This EP3 has been badly abused.

I miss the days when cool cars like that cost £250 :(
