RickyZ Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 They're great cars end of. Still look pretty good for a 13 year old car too. It's an involving more focused drive when you want it to be and frugal when pottering about. The zed just looks and feels more special Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asad Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Having had both the EP3 Type R and now my Zed, pound for pound the Zed is the better car overall imho. Agreed with this I've had both and much preffered the Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian_CNC Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) I've just switched from a 244bhp 04' EP3 to a pretty much stock 04' Zed, from my point of view: EP3 was noticeably faster (203 bhp/ton vs 178 bhp/ton), especially at lower speeds EP3 felt a bit more "chuckable" on B-roads, really easy to drive on the limit (which is partly why I got bored of it) EP3 was much more crashy on uneven roads, took all the fun away from driving fast on bumpy tarmac , Z feels much more steady on bumpy roads At 70 mph EP3 was doing about 3500 rpm, made me feel like I could use another gear plus more wind noise, etc. EP3's projector headlights were noticeably brighter with 5k HIDs fitted, pre-facelift zed lights are a bit disappointing in comparison Steering wheel on EP3 is a bit better looking to me and not as thin as in 350 although it lacks steering controls/cruise 350's driving position is lower and nicer and the whole car makes you feel a little bit special whereas EP3 felt like a regular hatch (it is much more practical though with large boot and sensible space in the back) EP3's boy racer image is as strong as ever now that you can get one for 2k and it's probably it's biggest drawback, 350 is in a completely different league in that respect, everybody seems to like it, no matter what age Edited August 5, 2014 by Adrian_CNC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
