so im after some info/opinions of the ek4 saloon. thinking of buying one purely because its different plus i have a child on the way so 4 doors would be handy.:)
 
Bought one for the same reason that I have a child and the extra doors are just great. Plus so much different from the rest.
There no different from a hatch other than the doors from what I can see anyway. Prob a bit heavier.
Hasn't held my o e back thou still goes the best.
 
I love them, I don't need 4doors at the mo but when I do, will definately be looking for one to park beside my hatch, can have them for mega cheap, and they are a rare sight too, they are spacious, can be made to look awesome and handles quite well.
 
yea seen one pretty cheap on gumtree. seriously considering it. has loads of extras. also can get a set of recaros which would be cool:)
 
Got one to go with my 9.
Awesome as a daily.
Pretty economical, I've managed 42mpg from the b16a.
A lot of fun to, they handle really well for saloon.
Only Honda saloon that's better is the DB8.
 
Am currently scouting around for a 4 door saloon. Love it, even more that it's a saloon.
 
Talking about saloons, I love them an am a big fan as everyone know on here lol

Mine was setup properly an was a monster, handling was just amazing, a lot more space then a hatch, you just can't beat a ek four door lol

pics of the old one how it used to be, new one will look even better :)

currently stuck choosing between ek saloon and dc2. i know in the circumstances the saloon would be more practical but have been after a dc2 ever since i sold the 9. other option would be civic saloon as daily as they are cheap and dc2 as weekend toy:)
 
Do the latter. Get an EK3 Ferio as daily, (cheap, economical and comfy) and a DC2 as a weekend car. I did the same. DC2 is on a completely different level than any non-Type R Civic.

Extra bonus: I had a B16A EG. Awesome when I put the engine in and still awesome after some time, but less than when it was new and less special cause I drove it all week. But when I had my EK3 as a daily and DC2 as weekend car, everytime I drove in the DC2 it felt like the first time :D
 
yea that seems a plan,had an eg5 with b16 as a daily with the 9 as a weekend car,always felt great diving the 9 after the eg all week. think this is a plan as i have sourced a dc2 pretty cheap:)
