My EP is the fourth Honda I've owned and so far the best yet. My list goes:
1st: 88 CRX (Pile of slow shit)
2nd: 91 Prelude Si (Trick car at the time, FRM cylinder walls, B21 motor, sooo smooth, no rattles or noises even when I sold it @ 123k miles)
3rd: 00 Prelude SH (Still miss it very much, built motor 9k revs were awesome, insane VTEC power ran 13.1 with a 75 shot :D )
4th and current: 02 Civic Si
It's been a better Honda than my previous cars. I'm at 15k miles and do about 2500 miles a month b/c of school, work and travel. The EP is very practical and to be honest with you I've never really asked for more power from the motor b/c even with 5 people, hatch loaded with crap it will still go fine because of the torque. Even the H22A in my Prelude didn't like being loaded too much, I'd have to sit and wait for VTEC for power...but then again it already a fat bitch (weighs over 3000 pounds) so when loaded it's even heavier.
I see a lot of complaints on this board about our EPs...oh it's this, oh it's that. I'm sure once they move on to other cars they will miss their EPs. Maybe not now, but they will in the long run. ;)
