Hot hatch thread: CIVIC EP3 TYPE R VS. CLIO 3 SPORT. They are so similar: both are manual, both have a 2000cc engine, both have 200hp. What do you guys think is the best choice?
The Clio isn’t a Honda so it shouldn’t be accused as a rice box or gay piece of shite I have nothing against Hondas but you gotta keep stuff like this in mind if you buy one, but performance wise I’d choose the Honda
Every hot hatch is a rice box because daddy’s boy can’t drive a manual or isn’t that much a car guy to understand what the car really is.
Type R. The k20 has a lot of tuning capabilities (can be tuned at 300 hp N/A)9k rpm rev limit and Honda has a lot of modification options. Not to mention reliability is top notch.
Lol yes a Honda can never brake
I’d personally have the Clio but only because I think they look better than that model of Civic Type R and They are in some cases cheaper to insure than the Civic. I’d say buy which ever car you want though. Don’t leave the choice of your own car to people on the internet to decide
One of the most important thing for me is the cost of maintenance. In my country it doesn’t cost a lot to insure them. What we always ask when buying a car after the price is “how much does the maintenance cost”. So, let me be a little bit more detailed: I can easily find Renault parts but so hardly I can find Honda parts. But Hondas are more reliable and ever Mercedes knows that.
Thats really close, I dont like Renaults interior but I wont be afraid of it falling apart. I find the clio more sporty.
Yes the interior is so bad but the exterior looks amazing to me
the renault because it looks so much better and if there’s one thing the french are good at its building hot hatches
Hi 5 bro!
Hot RS clios are a beast all of their own very unique experience i prefer the clio having owned both in the past, better daily and better economy from my experience
Seriously? What’s their biggest problem?
Civic why give up the chance on the Type R?
I’ve always loved French cars and the R5 Turbo2 was my childhood dream lol.
The honda will probably be more reliable and cheaper to repair if things go wrong.
Sometimes this is what makes me think that these EP3 is the right deal.
both equally matched on paper but put them on a track and the type R walks away from it… the extra RPM up top makes a big difference. the upside of the clio is that it comes with a brembo big brake kit, other than that the honda trumps it hands down
In the paper they are so similar that only the driver can make the difference. The Clio has a bit more torque, that is a very essential factor for me.
