Im looking to sell the EP3 and get a FN2.
Had the EP3 14 months now and as much as I love it I am beginning to hate the road noise, lack of standard items such as AC, Xenons etc etc.
Has anyone else done the same?
What were their expectations for the FN2 and how does it live up?
Any reliability issues or problems with it?
Ive looked through all the searches on here, reviews in car magazine and it gets mixed reviews. Many single test drives slate it but long term tests and owners love them as it does everything well and excels at nothing much like the EP3.
I have a Caterham for track use, so it will be for commuting and weekend travelling 200-350 miles a week.
Im looking at 2007 / 2008 FN2 GT without the 19" alloys as there too Max power for me! Ive grown up and want a car to suit my needs, without blending into the TT, A3, Golf, 3 Series crowd all cars I dislike when drove them.
Had an R26 Megane before the EP3 and miss the comforts and extras on that so want the same but in a N/A more reliable and fun package that isnt a fortune to service or wont eat tyres and brakes all the time!
S2000 I really liked but couldnt live with everyday plus £400 a year to insure over a FN2 / EP3 is ridiculous to me. DC5 I like but my budget gets me an 5-8 year old version and I want something newer ideally.
And lastly headunit - anyone changed the headunit in their civic? I have a really good Pioneer DVD/MP3 flip out screen headunit I would love to keep and move into a new car.
Cheers
