The 2001+ Honda Civic Type R is a more sporty variant of the most recent model of Civic and successor to the EK9 Civic Type-R. Unlike the original EK9 version, which was produced solely in Japan, the EP3 Civic Type-R was produced in the United Kingdom and exported to Japan.

The EP3 Civic Type-R has a power output of 200 PS (197 hp/147 kW) at 7400 rpm, a redline of 8000 rpm, a six-speed manual transmission, reworked exterior with a bullet-like hatchback design, aeroform bumpers, spoiler, and 17 inch wheels. A switch to front MacPherson struts was made for this generation, while the rear retained double wishbones. The interior of the Type-R includes Recaro seats and a Momo steering wheel, and the model also includes Type-R-specific badging, a helical limited-slip differential, and has been reported to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in about 6.6 seconds (6.4 in facelifted model).

Near the end of the 2003 production models Honda changed the Civic. The grille was changed to a single bar instead of louvres and the gauges on the dash were changed to a more sporty look. The tail lights remained the same but when illuminated created a circle.

Prices currently start from about $18,000 complied (plus tyres and ORC's) for a decent 2001 / 02 model.
