What do you guys think of the JDM Honda Civic Type R EP3. Worth the 20k?

I know it does something like 158kw. revs like a beast. exterior design is a fail. upside stock recaro buckets
seen the vid on youtube of top gear comparing the newer CTRs and they all say the ep3 is shitloads better
especially in power to weight ratio and handling (independent rear suspension).
