Are the EP civics gaining popularity? Ive notice alot more of them now driving around (Bay Area). It seems to me that people are jocking them now that they are "extinct". lol, anyways post up what you think

 

I don't see anymore or anyless where i live. Loved the EP3 the first time i test drove one

 

hey jeremiah, create posts with ur own HT name sign off mine bro! haha

 

lol whats up man, i got Koni Yellows and all i can say is that ive been missing out. anyways hit me up man and ill sign off now

 

It does seem to me that people suddenly started shopping for them more as soon as they were announced discontinued.

Unfortunately, although the 2004 facelift was designed to appeal to US buyers more, Honda at the same time directed a slowdown of USDM cars at the Swindon manufacturing plant.

The car was doomed from the beginning, IMHO chiefly because of the price point.

The EP3 CTR, as a general road going car for the enthusiast, was always well regarded in the UK and Europe. It was a much, much better buy (and faster) than the VW Golf GTi.

 

I just recently read in a car mag. that the last CTR was produced in December 05 at the plant in the UK. Swindon as mentioned in the previous post.

The last CTR EP3 was built in September 2005.

the next crx in about 10 years...

hell i'd drive one now

 

no im still the only guy around my area with the I heart jdm sticker on my ep! I wish I could see more that way I can arrange meets and stuff

 

well when i first bought my ep, i loved it! one because its a great car, and two because i NEVER saw them around my area. since i have bought mine i have seen 2 white ones, a blue one and another black one around........im pissed. haha but i really like the ep and most of my friends like it, so yeah, you could say its gaining in popularity

 

i have always liked the ep3 CTR. i'm kinda thinking about buying a ep3 si just because it's more affordable now and i want to make it look similar to a CTR with better performance.

 

I am thinking of getting an EP hatch. I think it has a good look to it. Plus its different mainly because of the shifter position. After test driving one yesterday, i really fell even more in love with it. It was fun to drive and the shifter really didnt bother me that much, actually i think it was better. Seats are comfortable, and its fairly new and are not badly priced. I was originally going for an EM1 Si, but after test driving the EP, i changed my mind. Not to mention the possibilities with the k20.

 

I just got an 05 ep3 and i like it alot.... its fast and it save gas. I live in san jose and i also notice that there are alot of them on the road.... soo i guess its gaining popularity, but i didnt get it because everyone else did.....

 

i have noticed alot of fools driving them around recently too. weird.

 

dont think so

 

Always like them, but never been able to afford one(Main "bread winner" and paying for wifey's car while she's in school). I plan on getting one...sometime.

 

yea i really like the ep3 now..i want to get one soon...

 

I actually hate that car, i test drive one and it was quick, but for some reason its just one of those cars that you either hate to death or love to tears, and i hated the body to death, it was just so ugly to me, i remember when it first came out at the car show everyone claimed they would have one, now i see more lambos then i see ep3's, and i live in portland which is a huge city, other then the body the car was great, it would make a great daily driver/ tracker *** kicker, and it did have a great powerplant

 

portland isnt a hugh city cuz i used to lived there for 12 years.... it is the biggest city in oregon... and lots of white boyz that only like VW...... we are talking about bayarea with lots of azn and rice rocket. I have to agree with you i didnt see much ep3 in portland when i was there....

 

The prices are probably dropping off quick with the new generation coming out.
