have a look at this thread regarding performance: http://www.ek9.org/forum/general-chat/22399-ek9-vs-ep3.html

and as soxturf has stated, all ek9's are imports - unless you live in Japan!

hope this helps

having owned both i would say that overall speed is pretty much simmilar, just the ep3 has a lot more low down torque than the ek9. The ek9 is more agressive/fun. Have you done many mods to your ep3?

I agree with the above....

Put a B18 in the EK9 and you will be waving goodbye to stock EP3's

My mate has a ep3. If I had been in that first, I would have thought Honda are rubbish! Ek9 however, it's in a total different league IMO. Fun is the best way to discribe it! I love it to pieces. In fact I love it so much, the mrs is even scared to sneeze in it as she thinks she'll be in trouble!

 

[tico_ek9]

Ek9

 

[murphy2]

What?!
your talkin bullsh*t man..

 

[donzo]

fun cars, favourite one i've ever owned and much prefer them to ep3, imho

 

[mrc]

One of my mates had an EP3 a few years ago & hated it.. said it was rubbish compared to his Clio Trophy. But he loves my mates DC2 & my EK9 after driving them & i would agree, think it's something to do with electric power steering in the EP3 that makes it dull + extra weight & no LSD.
IMO If it comes down to just enjoying driving you'd take EK9 over EP3 every time!

I can't believe you said that!
