as you quoted " kinda pissed me off but i JUST LET IT GO" no need to be a Dick since you may have a faster car. yeah ppl either hate or love EP3s i went from a 95 M3 to my 02 EP3 just cause i went to college and needed reliability and good gas mileage. i never once claimed my civic was SUPIOR or SICK or BADASS in any way. Simply asked and simple question.

thanx to all the ppl who stayed on topic : )

Yes, but not the tt 2jz. I have seen some people turbo them and make great power tho. I know a guy that has one that's turbo that runs mid 12's and saw one at a dyno making 700whp. Crazy. It looked bone stock too.

Op, chill out, people just being honest

How am I being a dick??? please fucking explain. This has nothing to do with my car being "Faster". I dont give a shit if my car ran 10's,it does not take away my opinion from how I feel about Ep3's. You wanted opinions,you got them,and because I dont like your particular car,you and "Hondas only" are cheerleading the fact that apparently I "hate" hondas because I get "beat by them all the time" ??? Thats fucking stupid.


Either way, like I said :


IS300 > EP3. Enjoy your evening.

is300.net- go there and do a lil reading. You will learn a lot. I owned an IS300 and wish I had never sold it. Great car, very reliable, easy to upgrade. If you want it for power then you will spend a lil cash on internals and such, as you would with any car. You didn't mention or I may have missed it, but is it a manual or automatic trans. If you wanna make any power with either then you will have to deal with weak drive-train. I could go on for pages, but 2 lazy. Once again...IS300.NET

i have one right now with 83k on it and its a great car. The trans shifts funny and stutters but it is something that you have to live with.

Its not an M3 or even a 3 series for that matter, but it is quiet, rides really well for the short wheel base and lo pro tires, handles decently, is upscale and comfortable on the inside, and is an all around great car.


The power and the gas mileage are my two biggest complaints. Expect any where from 19 to 22 around town and 26 on the highway (that was my best by the way).

I drove an EP3 once and was not impressed at all. I think that my EG hatch had it beat just about every where except for the interior. Matter of opinion though

I would say look for another one that has a few less miles that is around the same price or you could just buy mine for 14K in two months.

ive owned EF, EK, del sol (EG1), DA, Accord, Prelude and i find the EP3 to be a great all around car over all my other hondas ive owned. the interior is comfy. enough power to pull out on a hill hahaha. everyones complaining about there power but mine runs decent i mean i put 2 cars on a newer firebird 5spd. i mean thats not sayin alot but they r rated at like 200 hp i think?

But im not arguing, i want something all around better. lol and i know a lexus will satisfy me.
