Why The EK9 Type R Is Special
The EK9 is widely regarded as one of the purest Type R models ever produced. Lightweight construction, close ratio gearbox and naturally aspirated VTEC power created a driving experience that remains highly respected today.
Early Type R models continue to gain popularity as modern vehicles become heavier and more complex. The EK9 remains one of the most engaging and raw driving experiences available, making these increasingly desirable among buyers and collectors.
Higher mileage examples such as this often indicate regular use and ongoing maintenance, with this example presenting as a well cared for vehicle when reviewing the available images.
