EP3 (current US SI) if it is like an inch lower, maybe a nice lip, wheels, etc... in other words I like the SP3's better mod'd. Stock for stock its a toss up between that and a 6th gen hatch with the nice wide fenders.

EGs or EKs because they are great project cars... plus personally i LOVE the look of a nice clean EG/EK hatch. (i will own one soon! hopefully....) I am a little more in favor of the EK though...

It is a toss-up between the EF, EG, and EK. I like the classic look of late 80's, early 90's EF's headlights and body style. The Jellybean
(EG-6) looks nice but I think that the EKs can look a lot cleaner when people go for the JDM look. Honda should have made the EP3 more curvy like the previous hatches were

I used to have an EG a while back, had it for 4 years, didnt do anything to it, cash was limited as a student then. kinda regret selling it now, just look at all the aftermarket stuff that available on the market...

Damn nice chop, looks very real. Yeah but the back still looks a little weird. I still can't put my finger on what the EG and EKs have that the pic doesn't

No Renault dealers are in the U.S. to my knowledge.
The closest dealer is in Mexico

However, Renault and Nissan are working on an alliance and that might just bring the renault into the U.S. Market place.

One of my co-workers in the UK drives a Clio Sport V6..He says it's in the shop more than it's in his driveway. Still a powerful car though.

Guy that does my job over there has a 2003 Civic TypeR...I hate him.
