DC5R Owners I need your Opinions

[Jumanji]

Hey guys, hope you're all doing well and having a good week so far! Quick question, looking into getting a new car soon. Owned a VTI-R teggy a little while ago and love her (even with her list of problems, but she wouldn't be a honda without problems) I've fallen in love with the look and luxury of the DC5's and I'd like to know what do you guys think about the car?

[WATAJK]

Any DC5R is good, preferably aim to get a manual but if you want the comfort factor get the Auto.
Also, what are you seeking?
A performance car or a simple cruiser?
Performance car by the DC5R
Cruiser the Luxury is more than capable.

Both are great cars, practically the same just the DC5R the performance DC5 model obviously (Bodykit, different motor, interior, suspension etc)

Hmm subjective question here.

Test drive both, then check your wallet.

The answer is normally there when you check your wallet.

also my true feelings about my car, its slow, like really slow. (dont tell anyone)
The lux ver has a weaker motor and lacks true vtec.

Whats not to like, its very reliable, cheap to run, has a huge boot and 4 seats and drives like a touring car.
If you get the JDM version it has an LSD, Recaro seats, momo steering wheel, Brembo brakes, sounds great as standard and revs to nearly 9000 rpm.

Lol?

Aus version has Recaros, LSD, momo steering wheel.

K20 will never rev to 9k safely without modding. Fact.

Someone's got one big red sore backside that they don't have the JDM version.

If you actually read his post, he was merely stating what the JDM version has and that it revs to nearly 9,000 rpm.

If you read his post again, you will able to tell even thou he might have the JDM Version. He still is wrong. His implying that these don't come in the Aus Spec.

If you want to get that technical with me. Aus DC5r can rev NEARLY to 9k as well.

Therefore 99% of the things his trying to compare Aus spec already has. Mate trust me after today, I will never be jealous of another Honda ever again.

I chose to read your post again.

[amant02]

Some just wont understand the beauty/engineering/technology to rev to 9k.

[Hoodzy]

I have a Dc5r and they are a nice car to drive. Vtec is abit tamed being I-vtec but can change that with a few mods. Good for a daily and i admit when i see her sitting there in the car park, it makes me happy i own it. As stated above, depends on what your goals are, then check your wallet. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/09/23/e5y3uge8.jpg

Get a Type s, most all arounded out of the 3 (lux, type r, type s)

Better motor, lux interior, 6spd manual what's not to love?

[blk_shadow]

I used to own a DC5R, I loved that car. I won't sell it if I didn't absolutely have to.

The 2006 Type S no doubt is faster than the AUDM DC5R, I'll still choose the R due to better chassis reinforcement, recaros, momo, Type R kit, and the little things like the front brake cooling ducts.

I'm just a sucker for a Type R, that's all LOL

[mocchi]

aint tight car if it aint type r

[smiffy]

Lol?

Aus version has Recaros, LSD, momo steering wheel.

K20 will never rev to 9k safely without modding. Fact.

To be honest i wasn't making a comparison between AUDM and JDM.

Don't worry about him, just an upset child that doesn't own a JDM car.

[Jumanji]

Wow, thanks for all the replies guys. i'm looking for something performance so the type R would be the way I'd lean. Sorry for the question being a bit vague.

[Jumanji]

Just wanted to know guys, could some list the engine model numbers for each of the DC5 Models.

[amant02]

Don't worry about him, just an upset child that doesn't own a JDM car.

Lol says the guy who thinks having a JDM model is cool.

[RA73DR]

hey, i have a dc5r, have had it for over a year now. love it. dont think id be selling it anytime within the next couple of years. especially not to buy your typical evo rexy etc. they respond very well to bolt ons and tune.

[mclor]

Hey, DC5S owner here.

I suppose the key reason I chose the DC5S over the DC5R was because that the features of the DC5S that appealed to me can't be readily added onto a DC5R. What I mean by that is for example, the sunroof and the extra +7hp and higher redline in the DC5S K20Z. Its hard to find a reliable aftermarket sunroof kit, and although its easy to bolt on an intake onto a AUDM DC5R to bring it up to equal (if not greater) hp than the DC5S, the same can be said for adding the same intake onto a DC5S for an even higher output.

[r3ckless]

I have a type s for five years and will keep for another fifety!

I prefer the type s as it is facelift. Not all but a vast number of type r owners long for the facelift conversion but dont due to cost. Its cheaper abd better to get oem lsd or aftermsrket. And recaros or aftermarket and you got the two main things a type r has over the type s. Actually only two things where the type r > type s

[DC2RRRRR]

Type R all day. Has a better interior compared to the Type S IMO.
