Majority of people think this looks bad compared to EP3? 🤣 Everyone I've heard from that moves on from an EP3 say the complete opposite. FN2 is a much better looking car and I've been in Type Rs since my DC2.
I’ll be honest, I don’t see how an EP3 looks better than an FN2. Then again I do own an FN2 so I’m biased
I've had both and I think the fn looks better but the ep definitely goes better
I think if both stock the ep3 looks better. But if modded with some skirts and spoilers, the fn2 looks better. Coming from a stock fn2 owner
I don’t own any of the 2 and i think the FN2 looks far nicer than previous and the later. Hopefully il buy one eventually.
@@falconx5744 if you need any advice on buying one, don't be afraid to comment back here
I think it’s the best looking Type R Civic, really didn’t like the granny cart looks of the ep3. It certainly has flaws in regards to the harsh ride, but I love mine. UA-cam videos showing the FN2 winning over a track full of ep3’s obviously means the torsion beam is not a problem ua-cam.com/video/G8K2Nt-Hol0/v-deo.html
Can’t take your opinion seriously if you think the ep3 looks better than the FN2, the design was so ahead of its time although admittedly manufactured to a budget
Can't take anything he says seriously, his knowledge on cars is similar to Jamie FYD's 🙄😂
I agree i think the fn2 is alot nicer, it looks like a Performace car, the EP3 looks like a wagon to me, and im not even a Honda enthusiast but ive always liked the FN2 ever since they were released. Is there a way of making the suspension a little less as harsh? Maybe coil overs or a smaller rims bigger side wall?
@@falconx5744 I put MeisterR GT1 Coilovers on mine and it handles very nicely now. 👍
@@bogmasher Nice mate 👍 sounds like a good idea, il keep it in mind! Cheers
I think these have aged really well. At first, i didnt like the look of these, but as the years have gone by, it looks awesome.

I own one and it's epic imo
@@k24_4twenty well said mate. I've got the gt version with the
built in sat nav and lsd. Had the older one without the lsd and I can safly say the lsd version is amazing. Get it on a nice windy road and it comes alive
My fn2 lived on the rev limiter, never bothered with the clutch but just used the bounce of tbe limiter for fast shifts. Bouncing off the limiter at 155mph was annoying so straight cut essential.
@@schindlerk you’re so cool
Personally I think they look incredible, always fancied one over the EP3.
These FN2'S are getting more popular by the day, especially now the prices seem to have bottomed out. If u can get a un modded straight example the prices will go the same way as the EP3. This is the last of the great naturally aspirated Honda engines.
Amen brother
Ive noticed theyve gone up a few grand in the past couple of years, near impossible to find an LSD version for under £10k/70k miles
My 72k 2009 fn2 was 7k
I think most of the people who hate on these cars are the diehard EP3 fan boys, they're not the worst looking think on the world and age a lot better than its rivals
Think you've hit the nail on the head.
These were just way before their time. I've noticed all recent reviews of these are very positive. It could have come out in 2020 and it would have been spot on. Amazing car.
Bro what do you mean you can't see the Speedo. You can literally adjust the steering wheel and the seat height🤦
As a guy with children (a family) although this fn2 looks fucking beat, there good cars, there more practical then an ep3
Cruise control etc
Modern looking,
With the reliable engine
The fn2 ticks more boxes then the ep3
I personally prefer this to the ep3
How is it more practical?
@@u04pww2 sat nav cruise control more boot space an person opinion with everything else
I got a quote from Adrian flux for an Audi A3 2.0tdi 140bhp with the mods declared and it was £3600, I then went to axa and got it for £700....... work that one out
Say whaaaaaaat
How is it modded only 140bhp 😂
Jeremy Clarkson ruined the fn2 for the sheep...the car is an awesome car and looks far better than the ep3. Ep3 interior is minging
Definitely need to get another Honda on the channel in the near future 😏
FN2 are great daily drivers and if you put a mugen kit on it, it definitely looks good and the interior is nicer to be in.
You don’t get no taste mate you just like square box
Just picked one of these up myself after coming from an EP, must say I'm loving it 👀
I want a ep3 but I hate the steering on mk7 civics, it’s horrible in my 1.6 civic
@@JordzyBrev I have a 1.8 mk8 and its a blast
@@nbn292 same now debating about buying the fn2 , just sold my 1.8 and think I might buy another 5 door / but always loved the fn2.
@@mylesgoward5954 Its a good car but it has no upgrade options other than "get a type r" so i've moved onto an mx5
I'm biased as I own the 'ugly duckling' FN2, but I do personally love the look of them and I'm glad Jesse has given this car the thumbs up it deserves on it's positive attributes. They're nowhere near as bad as people make out, I feel pretty confident driving mine. 😁 Find a better hot hatch for £3k to £4k?
I’ve owned both and I preferred that shape civic, space ships for the win 🤙
You really need to expand your vocabulary to beyond weird and amazing. Essentially this video is just an average joe driving a fast car and waffling on about it with no real idea what the fuck they're saying. Brutal but honest.
Nice review, I have an 09FN2CTRGT does it all, bombproof and I personally love the looks. I would just point out that the bloke you're shouting at who was behind the bikes didn't overtake them because there were solid white lines in the road which don't mean no overtaking but they do mean don't cross the line. You wouldn't want to ignore that and meet someone coming the other way! Solid review tho!
EP3 was a lovely looking car... This looks like a hairdressers car
Is that right George
@@liamcoleman123 It is
you're a man if you drive a bmw. errrrr
I have an fn2 and can trim my pubes 😂
@@mikemurray3948 what all 3 of them 😂😂, I drive a BMW so only have 2
Having drove both ep3 and fn2. I feel the old ep3 is more raw but the fn2 feels more easy to drive on a daily basis. I prefer the fn2 as an all rounder
Whats better at handling and more safe lol
Tbh I love the way these look haha
fn2 over ep3,the ep3 looks to old today.my little beast turns heads everywhere i go.
Diffs were in the championship white ones.. and also I’m pretty sure they came standard on 2010 cars
Any car built after April 2010 has the LSD standard.
Champ white ones cone with them standard.
Think it was an optional extra for any other before April 2010, but most pre April 2010 cars don't have an LSD.
My Deep Sapphire Blue car is a 2010 but is a non LSD car. Was registered March 2010 so built before April 2010
“And this absolute DORK won’t over take!” 🤣🤣 DYING 🤣🤣
You talk out your arse and have been listening to Jeremy Clarkson too much.
I absolutely love the look of the FN2. I was really torn between getting the FN2 type R or the Megane R26. Girlfriend said she wanted to get the Type R, so I went with the Megane thinking we'd have both in the house then she went and got the 2.2CDTi civic instead.
I'm glad I went for the meg though, there's so many annoying things about the cabin in the FN2, like the enormous A pillars, the stupid wipers that don't clear half the screen etc.
Mucho mejor el type r🔥
I’ve never seen a person suit a car so much when your sat in that fn2 just look at yourself 🤨
So true lol, probably wearing a honda t shirt and boxers
Was so close to getting one of these man...
Good to see Jesse back in his natural habitat, top man!!😎🙌
CW FN2 is the best looking Type R ever.
Plus it’s an amazing car to drive . Love mine 😍
Fn2 and fd2
One of the most beautiful hatchbacks ever designed
@@ashleyjeftha8119 the FD2 is my favorite Type R ever. But my car looks better 😏
@@respirotyper929 i agree.. theres just something about an fn2🙌 especially on coilovers.
My least favourite shape too bro, looks like a swollen toe
😂 it does but performs amazing!
Yeah with you bud
I acc think its probably the most rancid car about stock. But stick a mugen wing on it and some black aftermarket alloys and it becomes imo such a lovely looking car
From a designers perspective it’s sooo much better than the granny cart design of the ep3
I adore mine cheap as chips mods tons of parts fast and not that common what’s not to love. Adore mine
You need to have a rip in and accord type r 🔥
I love my fn2 brilliant design
These cars are miles better then the ep3
Good review mate, I personally love the look of these. The thing that took me away from them is the back step in suspension design... 👍 the lsd was standard in 2010 models or the 09 championship white one 👍
Torsion beam stuff is a load of nonsense to be honest... take a look at this ua-cam.com/video/G8K2Nt-Hol0/v-deo.html
@@bogmasher don't get me wrong, you can make the fn2 handle! It did brilliantly in the btcc but didn't have the dominance the dc5 or ep3 had. These two cars even took a back step 8n front suspension design in comparison to the eg and ek chassis though as they went from a front dual wishbone to a macpherson strut design. Its not bad, ita just not optimal
The ep3 was always going to be a tough act to follow
No doubt I've driven an ep bought an FN purely on two factors, most EP3's are now long in the tooth and starting to rot and lack of toys & creature comforts
No doubt the EP3 has exhilarating performance out the box whereas the FN Needs work
@@JA-wy1zv yeah they're getting on a bit now tbf
I absolutely love mine to be fair, horses for courses and all that though!
I want one so fking bad, I am just about 1 year off my university degree but I am worried the pricing for these will skyrocket in my country (Australia) I have like $3500, and still saving up for one of these.
I wonder what year model I should get?
I've owned one for about 6 months now and have loved every minute. I have the one with the lsd
I had an fn2 in 2008 it is a sick car just needs better brakes... also has rear torsion bar suspension rather than individual
Wasn’t this one of the big issues with them, the torsion bar suspension?
Great video and I’ve had both and 100% fn2 type r all day long 👌🏻
Oh it’s bozo the clown in a civic
Hahahahah u say u can feel the lsd but how can u feel it if it doesn’t have one it’s like saying I feel the vtec but my car doesn’t have vtec 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Honest Review". Nah, you mean biased review. Just another 'FN2's are shit' review dressed up as something else. You're so picky. Criticising things that are irrelevant. They certainly have their faults but so do all cars. I think the comment further down is probably right, it's the EP3 crowd that are the haters of the FN2.
Same as in America/Canada.
We never got the the FD2 here...
Just the FA5 sedan and FG2 coupe in only Si trim
Glad we hot the K20 😊
Do realise where those cyclists were you wasn’t allowed to overtake anyway
Trying to tempt my brother into buying one, but needs a mugen wing. Completely changes the look.
5:12 : Yes the do handle pretty well without independent rear suspension and actually have a little more mid range torque.
Clarkson of course is full of shxt and get's paid to suppress any competition the Ford pays him to do (Down the Lodge.)
I don;t believe they do have an LSD as standard at all. That is only on the very rare MUGEN version.
The aux cable is where the arm rest is
Someone with a brain haha 😄
I can’t find it 😂
The ep3 was never a good looking car. People called them bread bins "hovis vans"....Royal mail van...🤣
Ep3 = the most overated honda. You are right the fn2 handling is epic, miss my old one. Moved to the fk2 but still have respect for the fn2, they drive really nice
Totally agree, it’s like the hate bandwagon, a lot of old ep3 owners just can’t get over the modern looks of the FN2 and are stuck in the era of the granny cart design. The FN2 is a design classic as far as many people are concerned.
I don't think the hate is by the looks more it had the same engine as the ep3 and weighed a bit more hence it's slightly slower.
I love mine for the way it looks because yeah your right there's nothing else like out there to this day.
I've just had an LSD fitted and wow massive difference and no more understeer.
I do wish these were fitted with the K24 engine which is the power it's missing 🤗 240bhp
Nice honest review mate, glad you like my FN2 for the right reasons 😎👍🏻
Didn't use to like them but after watching some of the older BTCC and seeing them flying on there they do really look quite aggressive when lowered and have a nice wheel setup. (From the front anyway)
Never liked this generation civic, even the latest gen civic looks horrendous, utter dog shite, both very ugly cars, performance might be good but they’re Guly, shouldn’t have stopped producing the 2016 model type r, that was lush
THE FN2 would have been better if the GT Specification was the Standard Spec. They do look a lot better with the GT Kit.
They all didn't come standard with lsd.. Some late 09.. And 10 onwards did .. Lol..there's you calling your self a Honda ethuiast. Haha
Aux Port under Armrest Jesse. Well it was in my old FN1 Si (2010) You've driven the for car 2 weeks you say?
It's a civic regardless of model come on Jess your not a real honda boi 😄😄🤦
Jesse you should get one mate!
The FN2 with the mugen style spoiler look amazing! They have also aged really well, was ahead of there time.
Appearance wise Honda was ahead of it’s time it belongs on the road with all the new cars now in 2023 specially when you do a few subtle body mods
It’s all very weird 🤣
I actually think these are getting better looking as they get older the look so much better when they have a gt wing fitted 👌
agreed
All non Mugen FN2 Type R's have the same wing whether it's a standard Type R or Type R GT. This one has a 'Seeker' spoiler extension, they look good with the Mugen or FK2 style wing too. 👍
@@SpiritBlueFezST sorry yes I mean the mugen wing haha
He can’t overtake the nutters on the bikes because the road had double white lines u cross those likes even for slow moving traffic it’s a 12 month ban u plum
Immense motors now very affordable alot of people are getting on these but also quiet a few neglected examples be aware
Come on TDI give us a sale on FI , really want that shaft drive supercharger!
completely disagree the fn2 is a much better car than the ep3 the look better have more equipment and don't look like a bread van personally its the best type r since the ek9
The aux is in the arm rest mate my mrs has one of these stock but they still a fun car
So they have dodgy seating position and pedals and honda didn't make a bad car untill that wtf u on about . The pedals are perfect the seat position is better than most sport cars and to say there a bad car shows you don't know much at all
I like the interior and seats in these but the exterior is kinda what puts me off buying one.
Look at some of the mugen body parts, thay change the car 🔥
In 3 years, people will buy this car for 15k. Trust me.
Hey mate, I sent you a dm on Instagram asking if you’d wanna make a song, I think it would be sick
Finally, someone who actually knows how to drive a CTR. Too many people short shifting and never get to the meat of what this car's all about. Great vid man. 13:13 - That's what it's all about. Jesus I feel the adrenaline and I'm only watching it. YES! Hondas speak to the soul, they communicate with you differently. True drivers cars.
Better looking than the ep3 imo.
So much better looking than the ep3, the FN2 is a real design classic. He even thinks the interior of the ep3 is better... hahaha
@@bogmasher I do personally think the FN2 is a better car around but hey we all have different tastes in cars. If the fn2 came out of the factory with more power like say 230/240 bhp it wouldn't get the hate it gets today. Haha. I've just sold my wrx Impreza Hatch which probably gets the same opinions on it. Ive bought a nice weapon though. All will be revealed on my channel soon.
@@MyMarko81 im thinking of selling my subaru 2004 wrx for ep3.should i?
@@michaelnavarro7128 No
When you pointed out the window and said “sick” what car was that you saw?
Your bonkers getting rid of that ep3 mate, one of best looking ones I've seen...
From the stereo it looks like a earlier version of the car which didn't have a LSD.
It's still way more fun and engaging to drive than a gti or r
Ek9 and ep3 are my favourite I do like the fn2 tho
Still need to drive a accord type R 👏
Doesnt look like anything? So uniqueness is bad hahaha fair enough
FN2 is way nicer than an EP3, exterior and interior.
Ooohhhh What type of Exhaust is this?? Sounds proper Mad
I miss my dc2 🥲 you failed to mention the fn2 has a fixed rear axle
I've a standard one, owned it about a month and love it. Mad cars. Handle great.
I like the back… i errr I don’t know… I don’t know 😂😂
I learnt to drive in this model of honda and when u get past the weirdness its actually not that bad
It kinda looks like they chopped a FA5 in half
driven both prefer fn2 that's my opinion
Hi Jesse great video very informative I prefer the look of the EP3 😀👍
I personally love the way it looks, nothing else looks like it on the road.
Anyone that thinks the overall looks of the ep3 are better than the fn2 have no design awareness whatsoever. It was a very brave design and years ahead of everything else - a true design classic. Another 10 years and all these ep3 luvvies will be saying how great the fn2 was.
The only thing I don’t like about my civic is the back window
I was the same with mine till I realised this car was made to look forward and not back
Bought one of these 2 months ago fantastic car. Needed a daily car. I live in Ireland and as soon as u mention anything about "type r" u get shafted with insurance prices so this was the most realistic option. Also I think everyone reverts back to tops gears review in 07 which in my opinion starting the hatred for these. Doesnt deserve the stick it gets. Personally for me I'd have the fn2 over the ep3. But if I could choose a type r to have it would be the ek9. Seats in the fn2 aswell sold it for me. And it's the last of the naturally aspirated type r's. Which will never be seen again.
How has the car been now after 4 months? Just sold my old 08 1.8 and always loved the fn2 but debating the buy for everyday practical use.
You do seem to babble a load of crap sometimes. Almost like you don't think your critique through 😂😂
This is UA-cam mate, if you miss 1 word everyone moans easier to cover everything ahah
Looks way better than the EP3 box that came before it. Nothing will beat the OG Jap Civic Type R and Integra DC2's engines though for raw noise and noticeable VTEC switchover.
Awesome video as always mate, great to see a Honda on the channel again! Out of interest with the flatfoot shifting mode, can you drive 'normally' until higher rpm? Or does it mean that you end up having to floor it everywhere ?
Surely review a cl7 euro R 👀👀👀 heheheh
It's just your option , and who are you a want a be , in a baseball cap I care nothing of what you think of these cars , Mr nobody
It’s called personal opinion. You clicked the video so clearly you do care about what I think or you wouldn’t be moaning 🤣
they don't have all lsd I think
I can see the speedo just fine...perhaps you are too short mate..
How tall are you? I'm 5 foot 11, and I too found the steering wheel position blocking the viewing angle of both the speedo and rev meter (you can't get a full view of both whatever position you move the steering wheel).
