zooty_tooty_fruity Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm a car enusiast I like all types of cars french/jap/German etc Ive had lots of jap cars previously mainly honda's and last year a glanza.I currently have a ep3 type r and been thinking of selling up/px for another glanza.Nearly every time I have contacted a glanza owner regarding a swap or px they say the same thing hondas are shit and slow why would I want one of them! Also that they value my car really low compared to a ep82/glanzaWhy do you regard your car's to be so much better? Plenty of hondas could give you guys a run for your money of not faster. Before you go and say "oh well your thinking of changing for a glanza so honda's can't be that great" I've decided to keep my car after realising what they are cabable of.

Whitenoize Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) This will go down well hahah I think it's just a lot of starlet owners wouldn't want to go from a starlet to a honda so they prob low ball you on your car Edited September 3, 2014 by Whitenoize Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 wrong place to post this lol, don't think were stuck up to be honest, maybe Hondas just arnt worth what they used to. I don't know I don't really follow pricing of cars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Is it a milano red pre facelift Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 You can pick up an ep3 type r cheap these days starlets are going up in value due to loads being broke and scrapped Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zooty_tooty_fruity Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 It's a anniversary edition so limited and just had a full respray so it's mint condition. Its worth more than your average ep3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 It all started off as a bit of Honda vs Toyota banter many years ago but people are way too serious about it all these days! Get the EP3 running at 250bhp and show us how it's done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zooty_tooty_fruity Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Both cars can get to silly Hp and I love glanzas Drove a 250bhp ep3 fully stripped out weighing around 1000kgs and it was as fast as my old 250bhp glanza Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yaristurbo Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 but it just wasn't a Toyota Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) It's a anniversary edition so limited and just had a full respray so it's mint condition. Its worth more than your average ep3Maybe that's true but a lot of EP3's are being sold for a lot less than a Glanza that's for sure. I don't think I would put down £4000 for example for a nice EP3 when I could get a very well spec Glanza for the same money. I've had a Honda also before we get into that debate and don't get me wrong, Vtec is great. I love the noise and that kick from it can certainly put a smile on your face. I wouldn't say that starlet owners are stuck up at all. By offering your honda up for swap/sale for a starlet is pouring fuel on the Honda vs Toyota war that's been going on forever.I'm yet to come up against a Honda that has been able to keep up with my starlet. On track maybe that's different but I'm not talking track. A lot of effort goes into these cars and people are not going to let them go for pennies.

daniel_g Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 As for us being stuck up im not so sure on that one buddy, i'd say this forum is one of the most friendly and welcoming forums there is. We have a bit of banter but it rarely goes past that.Make a thread like this on CL or DW or a VAG one and i bet you get a ton of abuse in the first few replies.

zooty_tooty_fruity Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yea just the impression I got back from.the emails was really negative and saying that's honda's are not even in the same league.Compition is good and I think both cars are underrated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Starlet owners are generally a good bunch and this is one of the friendliest car forums I've been on but there does seem to be a bit of a Toyota vs Honda thing going on which is quite annoying when it's just clueless people jumping on the band wagon and haven't ever driven a Honda or ones that race a standard B16 Civic with a TD04 Starlet and think they're shit.

shorty Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Im stuck up! Honda's are shit!! And vtec is dull, especially when you have 3 litres, 2 turbos, and vvti and best of all badge says toyota mooohaaaaaaaa!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zooty_tooty_fruity Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 2.0 na 1250kg civic vs 950kg glanza turbo It's always going to be hard for a 2.0car that's just na Tdi north do turbo kits and ep3s can handle 400bhp on stock internals which is impressive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james101090 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Unsure whether trolling - however all depends on the owners opinions and more so what you are offering. You can only go by the market average and have a discussion following this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
