Default Do EP3s get stolen a decent amount?

Have any of you heard of EP3s getting stolen often or broken into? Is it a common thing or is it a once in a blue moon type of deal?

I don't think EP3's or RSX's get stolen as much as say a any 2000 and older honda. For instance if you search for stolen car threads on Clubrsx you only like 20 threads about stolen Rsx's

EP3/DC5 are rarely stolen compared to most Honda's. EP3 less than DC5.

It's more like a torquey b16 in a heavy, "ugly" car. If the k20a3 came in an eg-looking/weighted hatch in 02-05, the a3 wouldn't take so much heat. The EP is just too big for the a3.

Also, nobody wants the a3 because after they spend $5000 to swap a k they may as well spend another $2000 and get a 40 hp increase and real vtak.

Only thing with the EP3 is that they probably won't be stolen completely. But i know of many people who have had they car broke into and stole all the interior, body kits, wheels, and so on. The chassis is pretty much the bastard child of Honda.

But i love mine!
