dc5 all round better car (stock)

[FANATK]

DC5S hands down

[OMG.JAI xD]

dc5 all round better car (stock)

but more expensive to maintain.

dc2 would probably be harder to maintin only cause of its age.
but grab a good condition one and its sorta the same.


i dont think the standard dc5 is faster than a dc2.
its got a k20 n all but its not a high power k20 and plus the added weight.

more torque, but really its not enough to make that much of a difference.


k20 is a better designed engine.
but the b18c2 is a great engine.
aftermarket parts are cheap, or cheaper than the k20 and has more variety.


id stick to the dc2.
not cause i have one but i just think for its price atm id rather a dc2 than a dc5.

are you talking about base model? if between the dc2r and dc5r, imo the dc2r stock is the better all rounder car.

dc5 , newer , more reliable (you would hope) , more modern interior and overal shape . better lookin overal in my opinion anyway

[RR-04-RR]

I would personally go Dc2R

Always loved them.. but its all up to you, do you have a price range and are you looking to mod it later in future?

[paps02]

dc5 better looking. but can very quickly turn ricey...has a way nicer interior specially the luxury models. parts might be a bit harder to come by as the k's are nowhere near as common as the b's

dc2 not a fan of the look but a big fan of the power the 1.8 can make!!!

[milkman]

plenty of parts for the K.

[stanleym]

have had both....

stock v sotck dc2r faster not by heaps........
if u wanna start modding and have some cash.. then dc5 for sure!!!

ull have heigher gains from the dc5 over the dc2r...

as others have mentioned age is a factor as in all cars.... still got my dc5r and loving it..

my advice move on with the times... newer is betta lolz


BTW I CANT SPELL..... IM ONLY A CHEF DAMMIT

[cupnoodle]

dc5 FTW

omg i hate these threads there are like 5+ that have the same guestion. Ask a dc2r owner and they will say dc2r, ask a dc5r owner and they will say dc5r

I own a DC5 but i gotta admit a DC2 with JDM front end and k20a = MACHINEEEEEE!

do plenty of research..... work out your funds..... and make an informed decision..... I had a similar situation, I decided to get my dc2r over a dc5r for numerous reasons......

How does the handling compare stock for stock?

How does the handling compare stock for stock?

i think the dc2r is slightly better. Double wishbone vs McPherson struts!

[blk_shadow]

AUDM DC2R is still by far the closest to JDM DC2R, while AUDM DC5R has only got Type S engine (hence the grey rocker cover) with Type R interior and Exterior

[4age8u]

i dont own either but ill go dc2r...i just love the shape..aus dc5r aint even an R lol..

[Type R Positive]

DC5 for me.
Way easier to get power out of the K20.
Newer car, newer looks, should be 'modern' for a long time yet.

If you like the DC2, go for it.

As for maintaining it, the older car might need things to be done to it as it is more worn out.

[itshk]

dc2 ftw

Like the saying "TO EACH TO HIS OWN" everyones got their own opinion depenin if they drive with the power plant Dc2 or Dc5,an easy way of doing it is why dont you go test drive a teg with a Dc2 and one with a Dc5 engine and you can make your decision then........personaly Dc2 is my weapon of choice even though Dc5 has all the power outputs,but with the Dc2 you have a galore of after market parts......and cheap too!depending how deep your pocket is.lol

[peeweechik]

imo i reckon the dc2 but correct me if i'm wrong, isnt the cassis of the dc5 is much heavier??

lol AUDM DC5R and Type S have different engines.
