Various EP3s

[Shifty]

Just looking for a comprehensive on the differences between all the EP3 variants...

As far as I've gathered, we have the...
• Standard EP3 Type-R;
• 30th Anniversary Edition;
• Premium Edition?

I don't really know if there are performance differences between the models, or if it's just stuff like window tints?

There's also the difference between the facelift and non-facelift models (which happened in 2004, right?)... Basically I don't know which version is best :lol: If I was to be looking at EP3s in a few years time, which version would be the best version?

There is no performance difference in any of the models just spec. However the facelifted ep3s have a lighter flywheel i believe which makes it nicer to drive imo, i definatly prefer driving my facelifted one to my mums pre facelift
Yes they were facelifted in 2004.

Thanks. What are the spec differences, or is there an article anywhere I can read on the subject...?

If you read through this it explains it also it could be found on wisebuyers i believe

Cool, thanks. Looks like the Premier facelifted model is the best one, then.

Thanks, someone linked to it 10 posts ago or so. I figure the 1500 changes post-facelift must be good things... 1500 good things.
