Maybe not the most amazing comment but I'm getting married in June and it would be great to take Civic to Euro trip across the continent! Also... My surname, imagine 3 Vtec in one Honda :)
My thoughts too. I do car detailing a fair bit outside my normal job and if given a Type R, I'd be on it for about 7 hours and that's just for a reasonable paint correction.
I'm a mechanical engineering student and I would love so much to have such an exciting car to drive. It would definitely be a big step up from my 1.1 Citroen Saxo😂

The EP3 to me is what the Corrado VR6 was to my dad, a proper attainable dream car with bags of character. I think I should be considered for winning the EP3 because it's easily one of my favourite cars of all time, and the silver Celica I bought a while back after watching your Awesome Affordable Cars episode is an MOT away from death by rust (which I'm sure Alex is familiar with).

Autoglym+Honda Civic Type r, two fantastic products,both affordable, reliable,fast and easy to use, and just like the Car Throttle Channel, SIMPLY THE BEST.
I used to own an EP3 (LC03BXE) but unfortunately had to sell it to pay the deposit for a new house when my daughter Chloe, now 4yo, was born. I would really appreciate if I could win and have my dream car back on my driveway because it looks very empty right now without it, and I would also love to share the passion for this car with Chloe and get her to listen to the legendary VTEC!!! Thank you Alex, Car Throttle and Autoglym 🙏 😉
i think i should win this awesome Ep3 because i recently got hit by some plank with no insurance and i want the automotive gods to look down upon me and bless me with this beast ..... or the automotive gods could take a s*** in his letterbox for me .... whichever really id be happy either way.
Firstly I'm 18 years old, just finishing my college course and getting ready to go into university. I'm currently undertaking my driving test and looking for a powerful, fun-filled and cool car to hang out in during the summer and flex during my first year at university. After watching this video is am certain that this is the perfect car!! During this year i have also been searching for a job so that i can buy a decent cheap car but we all know how hard it is to find a job. But thats not the only thing i need to be worrying about because we all know how expensive studying in university can be so i will also need to start saving for that nightmare. Your videos are amazing to watch and inspires me to work hard so that i can buy whichever car i like from your reviews. I would really appreciate if the prize car was gifted to me. Thank you.
I’m 16 years old and just got a license. I’ve been excitedly looking at used cars for years and I can’t find a decent affordable option for me as I love a little bit of extra juice but I have a limiting budget. I think no car hits a sweeter spot for me than this one. Perfect for going around town to school and sports. My parents are firm believers in me paying for what I own and therefore this could help me get driving a little sooner and enjoy doing it like I’ve looked forward to for so long. I enjoy your guys’ channel and it’d be a blessing to get picked. Thanks guys.
CTR was my first step into hot hatches back in 03..selling it to buy our house literally broke my heart.😢..not faultless but absolutely wonderful..she's a beauty. 😍
Winning this car would be an absolute dream, I have an absolute Honda Fetish and this car always gives me the chills... Ive been driving for 2 years and have only driven an old 55 plate, beaten up Vauxhall Agila... My best mate had one of these and I was devastated when he got rid of it because it was an absolute beast and that car you've driven just gives me intense nostalgia!
Ok so im in the US, and we never get awesome cars like this here. I have US verision of the EP3, the SI. I would gladly pay the shipping cost to bring it to the US! Its awesome that you guys are just giving away amazing cars like this to viewers! No one else i've seen is going this kind of thing for their community! I know you said no shipping BUT i will gladly pay it if you make the exception! Just got a quote for $850 to ship it me =P I will make all the arrangements! You could also make a trip to Florida and compare the US EP3 si to the EU EP3 type R for the show!
Love the EP3, I’ve had two, but I’ve always moved on because the lack of torque, but every time I move on I miss the gearbox! It’s so good and in such a good position
Recently my Grandad passed away quite suddenly. He was a big part of mine and my Dads life’s, going racing with him on the weekends or to car shows was always something to look forward. After spending a weekend camping watching Rallycross at Lydden Hill, we had said about wanting to go to an abroad track such as the Nurburgring, Spa or Monaco to watch a big racing event. So if I won this car I’d like to surprise my Dad by taking him to a track day at one of these tracks or watching a big race meeting there in memory of my Grandad. We would be sharing the drive there in a fantastic car and visiting different tracks and places along the way, making a little holiday out of it in the summer. In addition, me and my Dad are both really into cars but both drive boring cars, but if we won the civic I would make sure it was well taken care of and not left to rot afterwards. So please Car Throttle, pick meeeeee :)))))
I just started getting into cars and I've just finished driving school, and now having finally attained the driver's license, I think it'd be pretty cool to start off my driver's life with a super hot Honda Civic Type R! Really love the sound of this engine!
I love how he trys really hard to keep from getting swirl marks and scratches on the car but then proceeds to have the pressure washer hose scrap all across the bottom of the car...
Amazing video just a small thing do you know a good way to make your headlight cases yellow and oxidised?? Changing the casing is sadly out of the question as I have no easy way to take my bumper off
I'd love to win this ep3 so I have something truly cool to take to japfest this year instead of an automatic diesel yaris like last year. Got my fingers crossed!
I’d love this car so much. I own a 53 Plate Civic at the moment and I love it but it’s just a 1.4 with no V-Tech. Yet I still love it. The EP3 surely must be another level, and I’ve got a lot of love left to give. Shared. Everywhere.
I haven't experienced VTEC before, so I guess, may I please? 😂 I'm from the UK & hold a clean driving licence, it would be a pleasure to pick up this beautiful EP3 Type R
Sealant is to protect and last (usually 6 to 12 months ), wax is there to bring depth and in some cases chine. Sometimes they don't mix, but he was using stuff from one brand so no problem. I used HDwax, does the job (mostly on red paint and some blacks) but there are better ones out there.
Do want, looked at buying one as a first car but the insurance was madness. I'm a few years "more mature" and "safer" now, so I'd love to BRAAAAAAP this around. I'll also make myself available to collect it at the earliest opportunity, if that makes me a better candidate? 😅
I've recently set myself up as a mobile detailer, it's been a dream of mine, finally got everything together to do it. Having an ep3 to rejuvenate, hit v tec in, and take to car meets would be a further dream of mine. I'll throw my flyers from the window of the mirror looking EP3, now that would be mad.
I'd love to win this car. My corsa got rear ended, by an uninsured driver who ran off. Pretty peak, ik this is a first world struggle but it is really unpleasant having to take a bus so early to get to work.
@@suds5866 thing is, that's not how it works. Unless you have insurance that protects you from uninsured drivers, as it is almost always the insurance company of the at fault driver that pays both sides, if an uninsured driver is at fault, it could leave the other driver with no payout. That's my understanding anyway.
deliziöse Tiefkühlkost I recently bought an 05 reg ep3. They don’t have as much torque as some make them out to have but they are properly quick, reliable and most of all great fun! And I’m sure many others will back me up on that. Shame they are getting so expensive now days... :(
I think my boyfriend Ben should win because he is literally obsessed with honda civics. This is hes dream car and hes been trying to save for one for ages but instead of saving. He helps me afford to run a car so i can get to work. He deserves this so so much and if i won it for him. It would be a fantastic return to say thank you for everything. Not to mention how exciting hes reaction would be and it would be one to record. Please please pick me🤞🏻🤞🏻 This would make his life and aswell as make me very happy because he would be.
😍😍😍😍 I’m personally not a Honda fan boy but this is one of the ones that I really want to own, I’m willing to pay for shipping to Dubai 😍 for this beast. I need it because it’s gorgeous and I don’t have a car yet
When I was a young one I had dreams of having an EP3 Type R. When I eventually got to afford buyinv one I was ecstatic. Four weeks later a deer ran out in front of me and yep, fully wrote it off. That was a couple of years ago- I still miss that short time I had with that VTECH!
I owned a nice vw bora, it was my first car. But I crashed it with 100km/h in front of a another car... I've searched a lot for a new car but a civic is perfect😊
debbie peter same here love my old cars :) yeah i got a ‘92 facelift nova with 45hp doesn’t sound like much but it only weighs 750kgs and its a heap of fun to drive. minis are cool too :)
The EP3, specifically this spec, is my generation’s Golf Gti MK1. It has been near the top of my “must own” list since I first saw one back in 2003 when I got my driving licence. I would truly cherish this classic.

I haven't experienced VTEC before, so I guess, may I please? 😂
I'm from the UK & hold a clean driving licence, it would be a pleasure to pick up this beautiful EP3 Type R
Also, 10/10 video as always
Don’t see point of that sealant if you wax it after?
Sealant is to protect and last (usually 6 to 12 months ), wax is there to bring depth and in some cases chine. Sometimes they don't mix, but he was using stuff from one brand so no problem. I used HDwax, does the job (mostly on red paint and some blacks) but there are better ones out there.
Do want, looked at buying one as a first car but the insurance was madness. I'm a few years "more mature" and "safer" now, so I'd love to BRAAAAAAP this around.
I'll also make myself available to collect it at the earliest opportunity, if that makes me a better candidate? 😅
.
I've recently set myself up as a mobile detailer, it's been a dream of mine, finally got everything together to do it. Having an ep3 to rejuvenate, hit v tec in, and take to car meets would be a further dream of mine. I'll throw my flyers from the window of the mirror looking EP3, now that would be mad.
I've just bought a ep2 sport as ep3 is 10k insurance.and now my dad wants a ep3 👌
lol
Ever since I got rid on my Mivec powered Mitsubishi, I've missed the feel of when the variable valve timing kicks in.
which mitsubishi was it?
It was a 1999 FTO
Also known as the FT Slow
@@matthewturner9735 Honestly I don't really care about power (to an extent) which is why I love the FTO
I would love to win this car as I’m a type r fanatic and would love to own one!
I used to have an EP3, it was my pride and joy.. but sadly got pinched.. this would fill a space and make me enjoy motoring again!
I want to live that Honda life bro
I'd love to win this car. My corsa got rear ended, by an uninsured driver who ran off. Pretty peak, ik this is a first world struggle but it is really unpleasant having to take a bus so early to get to work.
Surely you would of got a pay out because it wasn’t your fault?
@@suds5866 thing is, that's not how it works. Unless you have insurance that protects you from uninsured drivers, as it is almost always the insurance company of the at fault driver that pays both sides, if an uninsured driver is at fault, it could leave the other driver with no payout.
That's my understanding anyway.
I think i should win this car becuase im stuck with a 1.0L corsa at the moment😑
I got a 1.2 Corsa D atm. Which one do you drive?
At least you have a car
I'm also stuck...
With an 1.0L Alto.
I'm stuck with a gtr 2011
WETHEBEST U good for u
This Civic would be a good companion to my Mx5 because it has VTEC power! (and it's also good in handling!)
I think I should win this car because my Focus ST blew up.
what happened to your ST? Mk2?
I would like to get this car because... VTEC bro
deliziöse Tiefkühlkost I recently bought an 05 reg ep3. They don’t have as much torque as some make them out to have but they are properly quick, reliable and most of all great fun! And I’m sure many others will back me up on that. Shame they are getting so expensive now days... :(
Avoiding the windscreen, erm, splash on windscreen.. =-=
My dad used to own one of these! It would be amazing to finally get a chance to own an EP3 like him :)
I think my boyfriend Ben should win because he is literally obsessed with honda civics. This is hes dream car and hes been trying to save for one for ages but instead of saving. He helps me afford to run a car so i can get to work. He deserves this so so much and if i won it for him. It would be a fantastic return to say thank you for everything. Not to mention how exciting hes reaction would be and it would be one to record. Please please pick me🤞🏻🤞🏻 This would make his life and aswell as make me very happy because he would be.
Sherralee Doherty I think she should win 👍🏻
Thank you. Honestly got everything crossed 🤞🏻
Still got everything crossed 🤞🏻
Still crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Need a first car and this is just 🤤
Good luck insuring it
😍😍😍😍 I’m personally not a Honda fan boy but this is one of the ones that I really want to own, I’m willing to pay for shipping to Dubai 😍 for this beast. I need it because it’s gorgeous and I don’t have a car yet
When I was a young one I had dreams of having an EP3 Type R. When I eventually got to afford buyinv one I was ecstatic. Four weeks later a deer ran out in front of me and yep, fully wrote it off. That was a couple of years ago- I still miss that short time I had with that VTECH!
Vtec*
There's no better car than my 75hp Civic EG - change my mind by picking me :D
Who won?
Guy called Brendan Mullan or something
4:01 That Legend Tho...
I owned a nice vw bora, it was my first car. But I crashed it with 100km/h in front of a another car... I've searched a lot for a new car but a civic is perfect😊
Could you imagine winning a ep3 😍
I would love to win this car because my boyfriend would be super jealous forever. Passengers rides only :)
Woman driving Type R Civics while the man sits on the passenger seat? Most cursed thing I've ever heard.
@@petergriffinhentai4724 Not ok whys that cursed whats wrong with it?
@@jakesparkes5366
It's like the boyfriend never lets the girlfriend touch the kitchen.
@@jakesparkes5366
It's somewhat of a trendy saying, don't expect you to get tho.
Insurance is already high enough on my 1.2 Corsa 😂 doubt I would even get a quote
Quotes on these are better than you’d think man
Strangely enough Corsas are very expensive to insure. They are classed as typical boy racer cars.
debbie peter thats why i have a 1.2 i nova
@@1saxton552 Really? I love Novas. I have a 2002 Mini. Strangely enough I am not too keen on new cars hence tbe 2002 Mini lol
debbie peter same here love my old cars :)
yeah i got a ‘92 facelift nova with 45hp doesn’t sound like much but it only weighs 750kgs and its a heap of fun to drive.
minis are cool too :)
The EP3, specifically this spec, is my generation’s Golf Gti MK1. It has been near the top of my “must own” list since I first saw one back in 2003 when I got my driving licence. I would truly cherish this classic.
