Type R: Honda's performance moniker has sat on the nose of some truly spectacular hot hatches. But which is fastest, and which is the best? To celebrate Type R's 30th birthday, I assembled every Civic Type R officially sold in the UK to find out.

The EP3 made a huge splash in the UK. Like America is enjoying the latest generation. Which we went crazy for! Even though I think it's just too tech dependent, and the platform is heavy. Side airbags, variable suspension, etc. Imagine the latest Type R in a EP3 or EK hatch. It'd be so crazy, and fast

@ej22_gc86 6 лет назад

To be quite honest, my favourite Civic is the FN2. Yes, it’s not the best Civic, but really just looks so special to me. It was that very generation of the Civic that I led me to finding about Honda. It was my first Honda Civic ever to see in my block’s of flats yard. It wasn’t a Type R, but I was just adoring its futuristic looks. And the Mugen version just makes the FN2 the Type R it is supposed to be. The cherry on the cake

@SR22VET-S15 Год назад

Have owned both the ep3r (jap spec) and fn2r (UK spec) love them both equally. If I could own both at the same time I'd make the ep3r a weekend track car and the fn2r a daily, as the ep3r lends itself better for track work with less weight and sharper handling and the fn2r naturally lends itself better to daily commuter with its much nicer interior. If I was asked to pick one over the other it would be a very tough choice

4:28 Suspension setup is so incredibly important to a car. The EK9 had double wishbone which is just unbeatable in feel. I had a EJ Coupe and the combination of all round double wishbone and hydraulic power steering made it one of the best cars I've ever had the pleasure to drive dynamically. Use of a multi link rear suspension is what made the Ford Focus the must have car when first released. Fully independent suspension is heavy, expensive and intrudes on cabin space/crumple zones but it's just unbeatable in terms of feedback, response and behaviour at the limit. If you want to make a decent car put it on a decent platform, quite simple really......

@Epic_RC_Time 5 лет назад

I feel most reviewers of the type r completely miss the point of the vtec and the high revving and adrenaline pumping sounds. Yes you can have a golf gti (yawn) which will be quicker, but realistically where can you use that in the modern world? The vtec engine makes you want to change down a gear and nip round the corner a bit quicker than normal as it rewards the driver and makes you feel racey. In the st or gti you do not get that. You get propelled forward with a fake engine noise coming from the speakers or the noise pipes into the cabin. Type r is more fun.

For all those saying where is the EK9, this is for you! EK9 was only released in Japan and this was an all UK CTR test. But just in case you insist, there is a video here in youtube done by Best Motoring in Japan. They compared stock ek9 vs stock ep3 and the EP3 won hands down. In fact the the JDM ep3 also out performed the DC5 and DC2 in that same test.

The JDM EP3 is much better then what the UK spec was, 16hp more had a LSD, Higher Redline, tighter gearing, stiffer chassis, it's basically a new car. thats better then the EK9 the UK spec EP3 was not better though.

@djorksolo8544 5 лет назад

The JDM EP3 is better because the ECU is set up with more power, thanks to JDM good fuels quality available! Also JDM S2k got 250 HP when the US AND EU got 240HP.

@Russeroo 3 года назад

Had one since new and still going strong after 140k Miles. Just always keep the Castrol edge topped up and you won’t go wrong. Never run on low oil or the chain can jump a cog. Change the timing chain and tensioner if you haven’t already as they ALL stretch and will throw your timing out a twitch. And that doesn’t always mean you’ll lose vtec. It won’t snap, but well worth replacing. Switch out the tyres for 215’s on original rims and you’ll find your wheels won’t spin up awfully like they do on standards in the wet. Can totally recommend Goodyear eagle assymetric 2 and 3’s for all year round tyres, superb in wet. Bulletproof otherwise. Enjoy

Nah, I had one for four years (35k miles done in it) and I've a FK2 now and not for a second would i swap it for a FK2,. The EP3 is still a great car though!

@chadandersen2774 6 лет назад

I agree, been driving an ep3 for 12 years. I like it better than my 02 Wrx. I’ve driven Wrx’s, sti’s, and Civic Si’s of all years and the ep just feels the best. Plus I love that it’s completely analog, no driver aids.

@Chad Andersen Is it worth buying as track car? I recently built a k24 block/k20 head into a CRX but that's a car that i will give dad for his birthday. What is the curb weight? It's also a k20a stock right? if i buy one it will get stripped out anyways for Stockcars/Dig race/roll races.

@rossfuller8025 5 лет назад

@@Sim0ctane I don't believe you... Nobody refers to it as horse power unless they're talking about a stock motor. Also, 275 is a little to "perfect" sounding, if you had said something like 273whp or 273 to the wheels I would have believed you.

Noticed how the newer type r doesn’t rev as high. It’s because Honda thought it was a good idea to put a turbo in it. It’s just sad now a days N/A are dying

@BruceLeedar 6 лет назад

Mazda still repping NA, albeit without any high-powered performance cars. Next-gen Mazda engines will have mild supercharging, but probably will behave like NA.

As an owner and daily driver of an FN2 from 08, and previously driven EP3 and FK2 i personally enjoy the ugly duckling, the FN2 the most. Perhaps not esthetically, but the fact that it drives fun, but also comfortably when needed makes it the best overall vehicle for me.

@nickbomb0995 5 лет назад

Good to hear, i personally love how the FN2 looks.

@TheLiamis 5 лет назад

The ep3 just looks dated. The fn2 looks like many new hot hatches even though it's 10 years old. And the fk8 stands out from the mundane current hot hatches.

@Big-T- 5 лет назад

Far as I know ep3 and the fn2 are pretty much the same apart from the ep3 has sports suspension but the fn2 has more street suspension, much more comfortable for daily use.

@TheLiamis 5 лет назад

@@Big-T- I prefer the looks of the fn2 but the ep3 seems to be faster round a track. I'm guessing it's down to the 100kg weight difference and the ep3 having multi link rear suspension.

@squidwardshouse67 6 лет назад

Jamie Stone it would be okay even if it did burn oil. All high revving NA motors will burn oil at some rate. AP1 S2000s burn a lot but that's the nature of the engine. Nothing wrong with it just gotta stay on top of it.

@Pastronomer69 6 лет назад

I love the EP3! There are a few hot hatch icons in my eyes, GTI Mk1, 205 GTI, Fiesta ST Mk7, Focus RS Mk2 (plus a few more) and without a doubt this EP3.

I agree EP3 for that old school fun. Something we are loosing with modern cars for many reasons. I’ve owned a 99 DC2 Acura Integra Type R and I miss he so much. No aids, horrible stereo, no AC but so much fun to drive. I’d still take a brand new Type R.

@ree44u123 5 лет назад

I picked up an EP3 Type R a few days ago (with some choice mods) as a fun car to take to trackdays. I haven't stopped smiling since. I may not be the fastest car out there, but I can guarantee I will be having the most fun... In these days of nearly every car having a turbo and getting used to lazy torque, having a naturally aspirated high revving nutter car like an ep3 is a breath of fresh air! Love it.
