I a
I actually own an ep3 now, had it a few months now, like has been said, rev the nuts off it, make sure oil is full, all will be well!
The torque of the LCR was nice, but it is good knowing you can beat on the honda every day and it just takes it, them k20 engines are amazingly well built!
They are over priced however, on the fb groups most are going for 2-3k and the dreamers who want 5-6K just get laughed at!
The back end is very lively in the wet, easily combated if you expect it! Same as any car you've got to know the limits
But with the independent rear suspension and RARB once youve committed to a corner at speed youve got make sure you dont lift off or thats when sh*t goes sideways very fast!

I'm a bit of a brake snob
As my car is a track car and not a daily (the suspension is not pot-hole worthy), I did look at Civic Type R's and Clio Cups also but decided engine and brakes were better on the Cupra R as standard for my money. Mine has been very reliable, took me 25 trackdays to break something on it and then that was only really due to the CV gaiter splitting and letting out all the grease, so not really damaged.
Civics are rated highly as reliable but cost a lot to get decent power (a friend spent a small fortune turbo'ing his).
As for Honda's on trackdays, seen 3 rolled over the years, something about their backends, mean they just snap on people.
