Which would you pick?
My personal pick would be a Euro Lux because i want one atm. But seriously, modding cars gets boring and expensive, and eventually you'll probably settle for a luxury car anyways...
my 2c
Euro.
Wouldn't touch a DC5 unless it had that R
But what if u weren't planning to mod the DC5S & keeping it stock?
Stock 4 door>Stock 2 door
EURO!
my mate has a type s.
and his mum has a euro lux.
and we always ask him to bring the euro. when i sit in both cars. they pretty much feels the same.both has alot of torque. but one just has a non family car look.lol
Having owned both, I would choose the dc5S. It really does depend on what you want out of the car but the S was definitely more enjoyable to drive!
Never driven a dc5s but my dad has a euro and it is sweet! Also a mate of mine drove a dc5s and recond it didn't feel much quicker then his 4th gen prelude vti-r
all comes down to ur budget. and ur plan for the car
wat do u plan on using the car for? daily? work? uni? weekend?
lol can he drive? dc5s stock vs stock are quicker than wrx's.. (tried n tested myself against a few of them :thumbsup:)Quote:

type R or gtfo
both very good cars, and like others have said, the euro is more comfortable. so if you're planning on having it as a daily drive/city/highway/cruiser/commuter, then i'd pick the euro for sure.
The DC5S is by no means a slow car. just as capable as a dc2r and dc5r. so if you want a car that'll be good in the twisties i'd choose the DC5S over the euro.
for a car that'll be a bit of both (a daily as well as spirited drive) I'd pick the DC5S as it has "luxury" type features such as leather and sunroof as well. kind of like a half way between accord euro and DC5R except it's just as fast as the DC5R.
I've had a euro for about 4 years and have been looking to change to a sportier car only cause I dont do that much daily driving no more. Have decided to go for an S2000. While lookin I also drove a few Type R's and Type S's. If I had to choose between my euro and a TYPE R/S I'd stick with the Euro 100%. Its combination of 6sp gear box and torquey engine (for honda) makes it a whole heap of fun to drive and you never get sick of it. On the track the Type R's may be quicker then the Euro but honestly on everyday roads I feel the Euro pulls harder. If you want a Daily driver thats a good mix between luxury and sportiness get a 6sp manual Euro. Put some nice 18in Alloys on it and a good suspention set up and u wont regret it. If you want a proper sports car get an S2000. Just my personal opinion.
guys asking about dc5s and euro, your telling him to get a s2k. lol
Typs S all the Wayyyyyyyyy!
You can chirpie 3'rds all day everyday.
My Gf has a euro so i gotta admitt its pretty mad when your smacking out and getting driven home, with like seat warmers and all.
Get A Type S, Euro's are EVERYWHERE, there becoming like taxis (very very nice Taxis)
I told him to get a Euro ! :P I was just promoting the S2k as an extra alternative.... mmmm convertable with 9K red lineee.....Quote:

in the dry, just flat change from 2nd to 3rd and chirp all the way!!!!!!!!!
lol most of the euro owners would say get the euro n most of the dc5s owners would tell u to get the dc5s. In my opinion i think that the euro does its job better than the DC5S does as its a really comfortable luxury cruiser and would still hold its own against other cars when you want to give it a hit. Whereas i find that there are many alternatives (S2k,350z,rx8,S15) other than the DC5s as i find that its quite slow for a performance car.
Not questioning your crediability but have you properly driven a type S before?Quote:

The Type S is alot smoother with its power delivery and not a stiff as the type R, Its also got closer ratio gearbox so taking of from a set of lights is F*****g quick assss!
And I mean you should know from driving a type R that a RX8, s15 (stock), wrx(stock), Monaro, commodore ss & heaps other would not be much competition for the Type S & R.
basically what im trying to say is that when youre spending that much for a performance car, go with a RWD, its much more fun than the type R thats y i said rx8,350z,S15,S2k
stock vs stock off the line a jap spec S15, wrx, monaro and commodore SS would rip the integrasQuote:

however the euro's power delivery I think makes it very drivable in every day traffic and like it has been said, when u wana give it to it, it will surprisingly keep up with many sports cars out there. put a CAI on it and it will also sound like a sports car when u have the pedal floored !
Ive seriosuly taken a stock monaro & s15, will admitt after about 140kmh the monaro started pulling and jumped in front. but the stock s15 was no problem. havent tried against a wrx yet or a ss commodore but going of the monaro run ide imagine it would be similar.Quote:

There are lots of other cars which are faster, but this isn't a thread about what's better than a DC5S or a Euro. Also the original poster did mention about keeping the DC5S stock in post 4.
Did you hit your head...What the fu*K...not much competition?Quote:

wrx has not got much after 130-140 but your teg has nothing after that either.
A well driven Accord Euro will be competition enough to make you sweat in your S but the turbos will smash ya.
I really wanted a DC5R back in '04, but the missus said no. Something about not liking hatchbacks.
I showed her the Euro and she was sold. It was the closest thing I could find to a Type R.
The newer DC5S are nice. Just missing out on the LSD. If you are going to mod it, go the DC5S with out a doubt. Heaps more tunability and parts available.
If you want to leave it stock, a CL9 Lux can be had for pretty cheap now. They are such a wonderful car.
Make sure you get a manual in both......
The cars I mentioned (s15 & WRX) all make similar power and weigh about the same as the intgras, I cant speak about the WRX becuase i havent actually raced one as im kinda a bitch on the roads atm cause i just got my licence back, but a stock 200 pftttt, thats no problem,besides when u have a squirt on the roads its usually stop and go anyway??Quote:

Anyway both are nice cars but i think the euro has aged better.
ok no point mentioning the jdm s15, coz u cant compare a jdm s15 to an audm dc5s. lets just pretend u said audm s15, now all those cars u just mentioned have similar 0-100 times so i dont know what ur on about..Quote:

dc4t, you now got me syked to go on d hunt for some wrx's although around my area ill prob get smashed, yet to see a WRX running less than 20 pound, hahahaha.
be careful, street racing not allowed on this forum mate.....
probably fake WRX,, or wrx goes wrong (with modification),Quote:

but mine totally stock
the other one got loud muffler and big intercooler,,,probably turbo lagged or something went wrong
Sorry Still Learning!Quote:

Make sure you get a car that you prefer yourself not from others opinions also if your planninh on keeping it longer, so presumably if your getting out of the modding phase then go for the euro as it's a family car.
My 2c hope it helps.
exsqueeze me sir but why is it not possible to compare a jap spec S15 to a audm DC5s? they are in a similar price bracket and i was just listing the alternatives to the dc5s. A sports car isnt always about 0-100 times, its about how much fun it is and it seems like youve never driven a RWD car.Quote:

Let me put it in perspective for you. A Mazda 3 MPS will tear a DC5 S to shreds but is slower down the quarter ( just) than a WRX. You telling me you S will hammer a 3 MPS with 2.3 turbo 190kw 380 nm torque? hahahahaahahahah,shut up please.
there's a video on club rsx which shows you can, haha, but it was a rolling start.
Don't think i have seen a forum with as much crap in it.Quote:

Yeh i reckon it's a pretty tough choice. Type S has better handling & speed whereas the Euro is more comfortable. Yet the Type S isn't too bad too with leather seats & sunroof. I like the look of both cars, Euros are going for good prices yet they are so common! Does the speed of the Type S justify the price difference though, would like a bit of usable power. I will mainly be using it for daily driving, the Type S has 150+ kw & the Euro is on 140kw, which has better throttle response, power? Hmmm.....

i think u need to rethink ur perspective LOL coz an MPS is faster than them both.. my friend has one haha.. LOL @ ur logic too, ur comparing 2 cars by adding in a complete different car into the picture? wow.. btw, the reason wrx's have a good quarter is coz of the AWD launch, and umm dc5s and mps are both FWD... oh.. thought u'd know that tho? but just like i said, the ones with the big mouths are the ones that dont own or have never driven the damn thing..Quote:

Fark dc4t, haven't you heard of farkin' multi-quote?
Anyway much respect to both cars DC5S and CL9... I'd rather a CL9 but then again a JDM DC5R... Well I can actually like the R's appearance where as the DC5S looks sleepy and sedated for a hotted up Coupe. CL9 does its job well and I love the car a lot, if I had a family of my own, I'd get one of those =D
I gotta admit bro, your putting up a pretty weak argument for a car you dont own or havent driven.Quote:
