Honda Civic Type R battle: EP3 & FN2 take on the 2015 car

The Honda Civic Type R is a hot hatch icon with a cult following. So, with the new model arriving recently, Rebecca Chaplin gathered together its two predecessors to see how it has changed over the years.

The EP3 is not the mk1. Its the mk2. And the FN2 is the mk3. The first is the EK9, which never sold outside of Japan officially. Looks like you really need to do some research.

She said Type R's in EUROPE. Of course she isnt gonna mention the EK9

1:27 - 'you can really push it into the corners' *drives 1/2 mile away from the apex*

No offence to the presenter but I'm getting tired of producers pushing women into car reviews. Most just lack any credibility.

Wasn't feeling this review. Lot of details didn't make sense. Sit low in the EP3? Lol. She didn't really push the cars much either. Was this the channel Steve Sutcliffe was on? IDK man.

The new car was not 50% quicker, more like around 30%.
The old ones were 50% slower.
To be 50% quicker it would have to do 2.9secs.

EP3 is still my favorite Civic Type R of all time. The EK is pretty cool with its B16B but I just love the K20.

[larnelleolkers]

This is a bad review, the "original" type R is the EK9.
therefore there are 4 generations not 3

Jesus Christ, this review gave me heart burn.

Doesn't matter if the new ones are faster. The ep3 was the best civic in my opinion and I prefer older ones such as the eg6 and ek9 over the modern civics.

[AccordGTR]

I think the best CTR was the EK9. It was lighter by about 200 kg and had better handling and steering with its double wishbone suspension. Sure it wasn't much stock compared to these newer models but modified with a Spoon 1.8 engine and racing suspension it will probably lap faster than the newer Type R's

I just can't get over how it looks like a Prius with a massive spoiler on the back...

[CageyJnnY]

The markIII has an unfortunate number plate....

[PapaHett]

"It feels super sporty" talking about the EP3.. I turned it off there.

[Channy]

I was hoping for a proper comparison with the 3 cars being driven in anger like they were designed to

[wingmangt]

The Original was EK9 :/ It would have been nice to include it even though its rare.

[backstreetdriver]

they should of done an acceleration test with the ep3 and fn2 when in vtech

[djchris.anderson]

good video but what happened to the ek9 type r

Like the new girl, like the review, like the fact we get free videos but hate the fact knob heads can comment.
