Didn't mean the WHOLE 7th gen Civic were slow, calm down all of ya. GLi, Hybrid, Vi is crap slow stock standard. EP3 on the other hand is 'wtf happened to the gene pool?'
But just saying cos its based on the same platform as a DC5 its literally the same car with a smaller engine and more doors. Check it out from the from fenders the wheel base and the A-pillar, pretty much the same.
