DC2R or DC5R?

[rayb3na_]

i recently wrote off my eh civic a while back and im looking at into buying a type r.. and i really jsut cant decide between the two.. the majority of my friends have dc2r's and they laughed at the idea of me even considering buying a dc5r? so now im really stuck.. i have sufficient funds for either.. but im leaning towards the newer dc5r as im worried that the dc2's have been thrashed and not looked after? opinions pls

[sangers]

i think it comes down to personal preference ...do u want to drive a dated looking car from the early 90s or do u want to drive a hot one. /flamesuit on

hrmms i guess.. but the dc2rs were made up to 01 werent they? ive test driven them both.. and i really hate it to come down to appearance! lol i love them both.. omg.. if only i could have things my way and buy both of em!

DC5R without a doubt. As mentioned, DC2R is dated and hard to find a good conditioned one. Might be true that the ADM DC5R is slightly inferior to ADM DC2R, but the reality is, most of us ain't a pro racer to appreciate the differences.

DC2R imho is a better car to drive than the DC5R.

Depends what you are using it mainly for.

But im sure there a few nice dc2rs out there for sale.

all up to you mate... Both are great cars and will not disappoint. I have owned the DC5R and DC5S and love them both to bits. My mates DC2R was why i fell in love with Honda though!

Very different cars though with each having its advantages. All your mates that laugh at you about thinking about the DC5R is because they own DC2R's as you mentioned and dont want to sh!t on their own cars. DC2R is a bit dated although still definitely looks the goods in stock form. DC5R, you need to lower that biatch immediately unless you want to be eye level with a Holden Cruze.

I am sure you will spark up another debate on this forum which will assist you in making your decision.

Buy the car that YOU enjoy driving, not somebody else.

Heads or tails, then go buy it. LOL.

For me it was personal preference. Always loved the DC2R especially the yellow.
I wouldn't have mind getting the DC5R but was well exceeding my budget.

Go with what you prefer and like. If money wasnt an issue I'd go with the DC5R, like many has said DC2R are abit dated.

When in doubt, listen to your wallet is always my motto :P

Get a DC5R to go against your friends.. mod it secretly then pone them! =P

My personal preference is DC5 > DC2. Always enjoyed a tad more comfort/luxury than pure performance

[AKS200]

DC5R for sure....if your going to mod it, then i think the DC5R responds much better to mods than a DC2R....you also get a 6-speed box with the DC5R and its newer.

[M a i k e r u]

yes, it comes down to personally preference.

or you can just buy the new CTR
