EP3 = 2 door honda fit with a K already in it.
Also, the CRV foldable table fits neatly onto the cargo floor....

It amazing how much ikea shopping can be done with an EP3. true story
Also had a RSX premium auto for $1200 before. great beater But yes, it felt like an appliance but it worked.

You talking precovid price? The prices of cars I've been tracking have only just started reaching precovid price and the ones that are, are really poor condition. | I tried both manual and auto RSX, also tried manual EP3 and both were relatively mid. They're great $1-4K beaters but nothing to look forward to. Luckily found a type S for $4k.
I think it depends where you are in life. I think going from a 2000 corolla to a RSX would've been a 8 - 10/10. The S2000 down to a base RSX was a punishment lol.
I really enjoyed the truck space it had though, I could dump anything into the hatch and kept the seats folded down year round.

5.0 literally gets 13-14L/100km even with a fair bit of asshole-ry driving. | Abarth > EP3
G37 335i > most sports sedans
5.0 GTs / 135i > Anything quick
If you're gonna spend $3-6K for a POS car that may need a $1-3K in tires, maintenance repairs. Or worse a blown engine in 1-2 years of heavy driving.
May as well get something better for $9 - 15K.

I'd treat a 986/996 as a disposable car at 10/20k - who cares about a 30k rebuild for bore scoring or IMS when I'm ripping the car into snow/hiking trails/putting a tent on the roof?
even if it blows up in a year ish i only paid around 1k a month for it & can still part it out after

Exactly, folks out here are paying $500-700/month for a base model EV or Accord with leather seats.
Treat that $15-20K 996 as a 1-2 year lease, beat the shit out of it, if it doesn't blow up, congrats you won in life lol.

I didn't realize they'd gotten that cheap. A lazy search found a 2000 Boxster S, manual, with the IMS fixed for $18k. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...8852389541857/

80s/90s stuff probably too old for most young car people
i think that's why the rsx, wrx, final celica, mk5 gti, g37 & 350z are the boy racer stuff within reach

Nothing jdm lately interests me, unless you talk about the weird shit rhd stuff that was never available here. I drove an ep3 many years ago, when they were $4000 and it was nothing special. I never liked the look of rsx. Subuwu blows up itself, had a 350z before already. So don't really need a g or 370z. Can't think of any other jdm hot hatch. For $7000 I rather get a Miata. I did test drive an abarth and it was pretty fun. But I'm still unsure about the reliability. That's why I'm kinda considering golf r? I never had a VW, and looked into the mk4 vr6 and it sounded awesome. Del sol is unobtainable or a clean eg civic. Final Celica feels so weird with no torque and the high lift. I might consider a xrs but they are all beat to shit. I've never driven a 5.0 or 128. Tried e90 e93 and it's not bad, but it's not really worth the upkeep cuz it will nickel and dime you for sure. On a car worth $5000 on a good day? |

On a car worth $5000 on a good day? | All the fun stuff in acceptable condition costs at least $10k these days. A sub $9k Miata is going to be high mileage and beat to shit. Its hard to find an EP3 these days for anything less than $7k, let alone an EK or EG thats not a complete pile. Makes me wonder if there will be any change in the used car market, given the current interest rates. I'm already seeing a ton of new sub-500km "wait list" cars listed on the classifieds nowadays (GR 'rolla, Prius', etc.)
Preludes used to be dirt cheap, but even those have gone up to 5 figures.
An nicer NC in the low teens would probably be the best bang for your buck, but I am finding less and less of those on sale these days. Hell, even an NC1 is pushing high teens which is ridiculous.
