I had one..and i have a ep3 sir now.

i personally like the 02+ SiR's more for daily driving. Newer chassis, (a 'little bit' quieter). less maintenance ( no timing belts ) , ages a bit better (opinion based) . i also like hatches more..

it has a weak k20a3 engine, but makes the same power as the em1 sir on paper, but when the b16a revs, it sounds much better. if honda placed a proper k20 in the ep3, then the problem is solved.
