Hi guys,

I'm hoping to buy an EK3. I'm wondering what is the best EK3 (year, transmission, engine etc...) I can go for. Lets say money is not a concern. (for the time being :))

BTW do EK3's come with tiptronic gear box? At least 2000 model? :jumping-smiley-013:

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know there is no EK3s holding YOM north of 1998 so you can't find an EK3 YOM 2000 and the EKs came only AT,MT and CVT. Correct me If I am wrong.

Yeah. On top of a cold too. But the good news is, we just got chocolates! :D

I could do with some choclates now.....*sigh*

Bharath you be right machang........CVT known as Multimatic. Quite a joy to drive from what I've heard.

wasn't it called a Multimatic or something to that effect? :unsure:

Multimatic is same as CVT machan.

Honda un-veiled their Multimatic transmission when they launched the EK-generation Civic in late 1995. This gearbox has since become a reference standard by which automatic gearboxes are judged. We ran a technical article on the Multimatic a couple of years ago, translating the technical article (in japanese) from Honda's Japan web-site. Here in this 4th article of my "Executive Civic" series, I will focus on the Multimatic's driving experience.

Honda's Multimatic or MMT is developed from the conventional CVT transmission but with numerous Honda improvements that overcomes the weaknesses of the traditional CVT-box. When MMT was first introduced, Honda said they applied for and held as many as 50 patents on the many developments they specifically developed for MMT. For e.g. MMT does not use a torque converter. Rather the engine flywheel couples directly to MMT which in turn couples via a viscous coupling clutch system to the driving wheels. This gives superior power transfer characteristics compared to standard automatic gearboxes. What's so great about MMT is it being a CVT gearbox, is able to continously change the effective gear ratio to perfectly complement the drive of the car to the requirement of the driver's right foot. But while conventional belt-driven CVT gearboxes are severely limited in their power handling capacity, Honda's MMT is additionally able to handle power as high as 130ps from the 3-stage VTEC D15B engine.

What I guess is the EK3s didnt come up with tiptronic.

Thanks guys. btw check this out. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiptronic">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiptronic</a>

"Other manufacturers may use Tiptronic-like systems under different names, and based on differing gearbox construction technologies:"

Honda: iShift, S-matic, MultiMatic, SportShift

My concern is, to what extent "MultiMatic" is Tiptronic-like.
