No offence to the Mazda3, but as good driving a car as it may be, it doesn't hold a candle to the EM1 in terms of fun factor.

But yes, $6500 is definitely on the high side. The condition seems to be excellent from the way the pictures look, but I think the buyer is fishing for someone willing to pay a bit more to appreciate the car for what it is. I'm not sure if a buyer like that would exist for this car, but I guess we will see.

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.

k20a3 and b16a2 are both gutless motors.
