Very true and the interior in the FN2 looks was years ahead of any car of its time and still looks funky now. I have a GT one with the cruise control and all the extra climate control etc and it even has speech control in it. And let's not forget the seats If it wasn't for the FN2 as the grandad, it's grandchildren wouldn't have these features. Plus what they didn't clearly show was the sound of the VTech in the older cars beats any other newer ones. I've driven them all and they're yawnville compared with the sound. Just a slight mod on the FN2 you get so much more power for the money. The later ones. Yes, they have the turbo power and are very quick but you can't use it anywhere on our British roads anyway. 200 horsepower is plenty to have fun, especially on the back roads.

FK8 may be the one look dated in the future since Honda is now going for more subdued and mature looks. Though FK8 will be unique over stylise car in the future for sure.

Not a soft limiter on the NA civics. It's the non VTEC cam lobe. VTEC requires wheel speed and oil pressures etc etc to engage. The small lobe isn't designed for revs so the ignition system is cutting out of the power for that lobe.

Just plane ugly to me and my mates…Worst looking of all 6 versions

i'd LOVE to have that 2010 civic (red one)

You guys left out the beautiful JDM CTRs.

FN2 aged very well, and i think it will be considered as one of the greatest designs honda ever made. Doesn't have that cheap plastic tunning look, the newer models have. Too bad it's a bit heavy and slow, but it's NA, the others have turbo. There is a faster MUGEN version. FK2 looks better today, than it looked when it came out, i agree

Its a shame the driver in this video left traction on. He lost all his time 😮

@@whyalwaysme1106 would be funny to see a FN2 supercharged 300+ bhp versus those new turbo civic R would be really more interesting than a race 200 NA bhp vs 310 turbo bhp , specially in drag race

Matt had the advantage going in because he has actually owned the car he drove, right? For me, the manual transmission cars I've owned, you really become one with the clutch and shifter over the years. So I can see how Matt's familiarity with that car gave him such a great launch. Well done. EDIT: And your hand brake work too there Matt. Lol.

My dream car is the FK8 and Im 28 and love the styling 😂

I really want an fk2, they are so so cool

That FK2 is looking like great value

i have a FN2 , love this car because it looks pretty modern for a 2006 car , honestly inside , in the EP3 you can clearly see how old he is . I own my car for 8,5 years and still have fun to drive it . I put in a cold air intake and every time the V-tec kicks in it sounds amazing . N/A for ever . And it doesnt matter to me that its the slowest here , i am not a racer and for to have fun on normal roads its more than enough , and more than enough to loose your driving license ...🙂when i want to go really fast i put out my CBR ...

The FN2 driver probably left traction control on, which will slow it off the line, otherwise they normally do 1/4 mile in 15 sec when stock (16.3 was bloody awful here).

​@@CarefreeCFC83 to be fair though - none of these cars hit their ideal 1/4 mile time. I've seen all of them do it faster, perhaps just the conditions on the day? It does make sense that the FN2 would be slower given the weight, lower torque figure - and doesn't it also have a lower redline, and a peak power figure higher up in the RPMs as well? Meaning it's got a smaller power band overall. Could be wrong on the last bit there. I'm by no means saying it's a worse car btw, just not as quick as the gen before.

For me since 2020.

I am missing the ek9 in this line-up, will you do it again ?

Hi Matt, i Wonder if you can do all 1.0l turbo new car, fiesta, civic, polo, 500x, i20,....

Love my EP3 had mine since June 2020, 137k for £3500 1 owner from new. Loved it, spent a lot of money and could spend double again and not be satisfied. Sitting at 153k and still sings away to 8600rpm. Such easy cars to work on I've self taught myself a lot of mechanical and service work all because of Honda's especially the older generations, would have been good if you could have got an EK9 in the mix too!

The older it gets the more I love and want an ep3. Raw, basic, simple no nonsense car to make you happy.

@@theweeknd2725 Nope, you get used to it real quick! It ends up being really close to your hand and actually closer than reaching down.

I kinda dig the old school one with the shifter on the dash.

The FN2 was amazing on space - I had three in the back two were 6 ft and the other 6 ft 6 ins and as driver I'm 6 ft and passenger 5ft 10ins - a real space wagon. Always regretted selling it until I got my Tesla Model 3 - leaves them all for dead.

I still like the way the FN2 looks, its from the good old days 😋 But the FK2 probably looks the best 🤷‍♂ Go Mat! Manual shifting WHOOO!

I just part ex my FN2 for an FK2. The FN2 is an aesthetically beautiful car and the engine makes the most perfect sound.

I love the Type R! Thanks for making this video

My FN2 has 208 HP and 198 Nm on a dyno and I still love it since 2007. Maybe they should try a mugen FN2 or a championship white one with a dif. 😉

PERSONALLY.. pricewise and performance wise i would just boost a fn2. So fairly modern with comfort and about 400bhp. Quick and comfy and not too dated

Ep3 may look like a "bread van" but it had the most iconic engine of all time in the k20. Whether its racing tuning road car the k20 can do it all with the reliability to boot!

The Ep3 is my favourite i have had the pleasure to have owned 2 of them one was a premier edition with the red bucket seats.

Absolutely hilarious drag race....😅 FK2 for me

Would be awesome to see the EK9 racing with you.
