Love the civys! Fantastic cars! Ep3's look dope n clean👌🏻, although the FN2 looks a bit more bulkier but I reckon personal preference it's got a better dash! 😃

Great driving project car for a Civic aficionado to get this iconic car back to standard! A fun drive and cool presentation Calv, thank you very much✌

Love my FN2. Its 11 years old this year. I've owned it 9 years and has been very reliable. Brilliant engine. Think it will be a future classic.

That's so kl that you've had it that long. I have a fn2 type s coming upto my first year. and yes I can agree that the engine is great, even when you challenge the engine, it always responds great. I couldn't find a low mileage type r so just went for a low mileage type s. I hope to have it for a very long time. Reliable and good looking cars!

Type S and R are both FN2's

I had a 1 owner CW for 7 years. Number 234. Loved it. Had a GP kit on it for about 500 miles and removed it. Preferred standard look (still have the the GP kit in their boxes if anyone is interested) I had Goodyears on mine and it would rarely spin. LSD is great. There was 2000 worldwide. 600 for UK. The white plaque is numbered out of 2000 so there is some UK cars numbered 6xx.

Don't suppose you still have the GP kit do you 2 years later? lol

Even the non LSD version is arguably the best hot hatch you can buy for £4k to £5k in terms of the overall package (performance, reliability, and aftermarket support).

I like both the ep3 and fn2 but the fn is certainly more suitable for daily driving as it has more space and is more comfortable.

It has the GP bodykit which was an option from the factory I believe. I've got a red FN2 and the white versions certainly look better.

Got an Fn2 myself had its year’s brilliant car with loads of affordable mods - don’t take much to get more drive ability out them - you should show it some love calv

Not mugen splitter. That’s what’s called the GP pack. Quite an expensive dealer option and fairly rare.

Loving the content mate 🔥🙏

Finally got my very own fn2 type R as my new daily and honestly... What a car it is, and I say that without even having pushed the car to its limits

ha I was tracking this on my ad alerts until it sold, to then realise on your video thumbnail you had bought it :D nice one! deffo was the cheapest champ car going when averaging at least another £2k more. great video, thanks for sharing!

EP3 was the classic hot hatch - hum drum hatchback with a screaming engine. This FN2 by Honda moved up into a slightly bigger class

Love these videos mate 👌

Brilliant video mate as always 👌🏻 who doesn’t love a civic😎🔥

The best looking Type R ever ! 😍

Lovely car, definitely going to be looking for an FN2 very soon. My old man had one new and it was ace.

Had a crash and my i30N was written off and picked up an FN2 for 4k. Its so much fun to drive, nothing better than bouncing off the limiter and planting your foot down. Handles superbly too! Also, it's super, super reliable too. Worth a cheap pick up if you want to have fun but have reliability!

Had mine for 3 years. Loved it, sadly had to sell it. I miss mine, hope to own another one someday...

Park the premier edition and the white edition up tuck them away calv both rare examples and both already massively loved in the car world there values are both rising an I think with them being special editions these could be a good investment in the not too distant future

Great job calv

i had one of these for 8 years, I wanted to drive it till it died but after 150k miles and only replaced shocks, springs and clutch it just refused to give up so ended up selling it! Such a reliable car, never failed an MOT or broke down once in my whole ownership

I remember seeing the FN2 vs the EP3 in a drag race on top gear following the launch and due to the increased weight and lack of additional power, the EP3 was quicker 🤷🏻‍♂️ the FN2 looks cool IMO but I’d rather the EP3.

The FN2 was faster around the Top Gear track than the EP3 and there was never a drag race on Top Gear, only a negative review from Jeremy Clarkson even though Top Gear rated it the best hot hatch the year it came out. Also they're pretty much neck and neck in acceleration, the FN2 has a better gearbox with shorter ratios. The EP3 is more nimble and raw buts its not more planted, although the K20A in the EP3 responds better than the K20Z4 to mods due to the exhaust layout and the FN2s oil pump.

@davidkelly2542

Ive had the Ep3 which was a great car but the FN2 is the better car few little tweaks to suspension aftermarket exhaust air filter and a remap and its a different car it took me a while to get into the FN2 as i didn’t like the seat position but after over a year of owning it they are such a great car and ive had a play with a few EP3s some ive left behind and some have got the edge on me? Good tyres good service few tweaks with a FN2 and its done fantastic car and going up in value 🤘

Had having owned both much prefer the fn2
