bashing on EP's - Page 16

They can KMA. I love the hatch utility and the EP3's quirky looks are cool IMO. I am mostly unhappy with the suspension (who attaches the steering arm to the upper strut....WTF?) and the lack of feel from the EPS. The RSX has the same crappy suspension design and a ton less utility, the only thing I am jealous of is the leather and K20A2. The base RSX is a turd IMO.

jesus, they spent like a week coming up with that i bet.

4, can't beat a hatch for room and gas mileage. Decent front/rear weight balance as well.... Oh and visibilty

Undoubtedly took them at least that long. Shaved Apes.

I felt the same way until I got a yellow lab. Now I NEED leather, I can't let my dog in my car because her hair is impossible to get out of the seats.

I have a golden retriever I let in my car. I just use a lint roller to get all the excess hair out. I also use a seat cover so they dont get too much hair on them.

I use this cover...

can anyone else say chassis specific Si? nope. the USDM EP is unique for that reason...

154,XXX miles later and I'm still lovin' the EP! I like the fact that in the sea of cars out there, I am the only EP in a 20 mile radius

Honestly to each their own. I dislike the dash on the RSX since its at an angle (reminds me of older shitty pontiacs) BUT I love where the shifter is on the EP.

Im a new owner of a NHP EP3 with 90k miles. I use to say ehh... But my god there's so much room in the car, so many cubby holes.

Btw regardless of what people say about the economical engine or w.e, My last trip from ATL GA to Orlando going 95-130 the whole way I avg 29.8mpg. Which doesn't sound like a lot
BUT...
Im also on bigger injectors, intake, exhaust, ecu, supercharged and with the AC. Not many cars can actually do that *shrugs*

The bottom line is that we all share a passion for car(s). I guess non-car people won't understand but the joy and sensation I get from driving my EP > 99% of cars I've driven and I valet so...

I used to park cars for a Chevy Dealership (they call it shop apprentice)... Geo Metros are fun as hell in a parking lot. Corvettes, not so much.

I think that every car shines in some way or another. American made shines less brightly for me. But I can find something I like in every car I drive. My wife is convinced that I fall in love with any car I drive for more than a couple weeks.
