Went to view a EP3 Type R today and it was verry nice. My thoughts:
- Gear change is incredible, makes the 6 feel like stirring porridge.
-Very smooth engine, nice linear power.
- Ride is surprisingly comfortable, with the low profile tyres and everything I had read online I was expecting a worse ride than the 6 on Bilstein's but I would say it was easily as smooth over bumpy country roads.
- Steering feel, as expected, was not as good as the 6. However, there's very few cars which are and it wasn't numb to the point of being unenjoyable. Just not quite as connected as the 6.
- Driving position and steering wheel were very nice.
Only mods were lowered 30mm on Eibach springs.
The only downside was that it had some ridiculous Clifford alarm fitted which if you don't disarm will cut off the car after a certain amount of time and also appears to re-arm itself if you open the car door with the engine running (as we found out when I swapped to the drivers seat). I know nothing about alarms so it might be possible to turn some of these features off?
Cool story bro, yeah I know, just trying to get some thoughts down about whether I want to purchase. Been with Peugeots for 7 years now and they've treated me well.
