Ep3 or FN2

[Bamsibeyrek]

I'm new on PH so hello everyone to begin with!

I'm in a dilemma and wanted to hear thoughts of other people to help me choose my next car.

I wanted to get back into a Honda and circa 4k budget.

I thought of an Ep3 at first but now the fn2 has crossed my mind too. I've got a few of each I'm going to go view next week but I'm not sure which one to go for.

I like the fn2 because it's a little newer and seems a better daily with its armrest and other bells and whistles inside. The ep3 is just what I was looking for really.

The Mrs will be using it for work commuting 2 days a week covering circa 150 over them.

Not to sure how selling one would be in the future too.

Appreciate any c+C's

Thanks

Thank you everyone for your input. I've got to drive the fn2 to have a better understanding.

Tbh I've never been interested in the Renault's. What are they like in terms of reliability? I know the Honda's are great, apart from rust ofcourse

Hi..

A little update.

I've bought a 2006 premier edition ep3 in black. It has just under 100k miles.

VTEC engages good and strong and gearbox changes are pretty smooth with no crunching or issues

The only negative I feel is that it's running rich or drinking too much fuel. From £40 it's given me 110 mike's which is all local journeys. Like 2 miles is the longest journeys. I understand I may not be used to it but what are other people getting in their ep3's?

[Bamsibeyrek]

It's just been serviced and valve clearances done too.

Could it just be because I only do very short journeys?

It immediately attracted my attention as a friend has one and he's consistently getting circa 100 miles to £20 of fuel with a mix of motorway and short town journeys.
