Ep3 civic type r insurance?

[paulmicmac]

the other option would be to go for an ep3 type s. I know they don't have the looks/performance of a type R but they are only a group 11 and you still have a 2 litre v-tec engine. With the money you'd save on insurance you could make a few mods to make it more like a type r (body kit, wheels etc). They are 157bhp standard so your only loosing 40bhp off the type r which wouldn't be to hard to get back with some mods. Just something to think about lad but good luck.

ive never heard of one of them above lol

 

[Lawsy123]

Naw I've never heard of the above either! I've an Ep3 & my insurance is £1650 fully comp in my own name. I'm 19 with 6 points & a claim! Mines like the cheapest I've heard of!!

Sorry might not be ep3, but its a 2 litre v-tec 157bhp honda civic and its group 11 insurance.

For those that are struggling to insure a type r it would be a good alternative. Easily tuned honda v-tec engine and a few tasteful mods you would have a great car for a young driver.

Where the hell from? Please get back to us!!
Did you get the points AFTER you paid for the insurance?
That is unreal!
Do you have NCB from the age of 17 or something?

I want one

Todds in Omagh. Yea I've got NCB from 17 and I had 3 points when I paid my insurance but the other 3 have been fully informed and I've been told that it shouldn't go up next year because of them. I was well chuffed, had a 325i before that and it only went up by £200 to insure the Ep3.

TESCO are the way forward,

Im 21 with 1 yrs NCB and the rest claim free named driving,

My insurance is £1670 fully comp on the CTR, (black premier edition).

Still quite expensive but well worth it! The second cheapest was £2200 by direct line.

The thing that annoys me is that i could be insured for £1000 on a 300bhp 200sx?!
Who really decides insurance? Theres more chance of crashing going sideways than in a straight line haha!!

How did you even get direct line to quote you? Their policy is no under 22s in NI.

 

[james123]

Direct Line gave me the best quote by far, £550 fully comp protected and I'm 27 with 6 years NCB

Waaaat!! When i was looking for quotes for type-r's last year the ep3 was coming up between £800 and 1k. Thats with being 26 with 7 yrs ncb...the dc2 only cost £580 with HSBC via confused.com.

 

[Jonny_W]

i was paying under £500 with greenlight for my old ep3 with greenlight at 26 with 5 years no claims

I used a scottish address, as i am living over here for a couple of months.

Probably postcode mate. Between two addresses of mine, the post code was the difference between £1100 and £1600 in my first year.

 

[civicglacier]

Would have to reccomend Tescos, have had great customer service, and at 23 with 3 yrs no claims its just under £900 which is reasonable i thought. I tried quinn and after being with them for 3 years they said they no longer would quote for ep3's, probably a load of rubbish though.

to Tesco

thats unreal lad

 

[neil1280]

i have 5 years no claims and im 28 and they still raise a finger at me and told me to try when im thirty!! and wouldnt insure me. just something to do with my insurer rather than the broker

 

[p 5ary]

my fn2 gets about 35-36 mpg up and down to belfast, not much hard acceleration though

dont forget the area you live in also has an impact on insurance.

 

[jshek007]

how are u getting that. i am hardly hard on my accelaraton and i think max i ever get is 32 and normally in 28s and i am not even in tec or anything.

im not being smart lad but i cant believe that milage.
i fill my type r up for around £45 and i would not even see 230/240 miles.
im just standard with an air filter and exhaust

 

[p 5ary]

I reset my trip every fill up, that's what I get, no bull. Exhaust and air filter kill mpg!

You're driving it too hard then. It's very easy to get 300 miles out of a tank on an EP3/FN2

 

[euge07]

vtec_boy and p 5ary, what gear do you both cruise in doing 30mph?

 

[euge07]

[J0NN7G]

Mate, get her in 6th gear when cruising about , thats how you get the mpg down. My ep3 will comfortably stroll through town about 35 in 6th!
