ide still opt for the DC-5, would probably have a better re-sale value & the toyota looks like a lizard!

not a big fan of the toyota.. and yes, Honda DC5R/S both keep their value. 02 DC5R still selling around 25-30k

I've never driven the DC5, but I've driven the 7th Gen Celica SX and gotta say its a pretty nice machine, 6 speed as well if i remembered correctly. Responsive, reliable, and can be driven daily without fuss.

If you are choosing between the DC5 std model or the 7th gen Celica, I'd go the Celica if you are after performance.

im asking about non-type r/s -_-

tony good point about the resale value.

Want to ask - on the DC5 non R can the engine parts be changed to the Type R standard without a replacement?

and the DC5 is 5 gears, while the DC5r is 6 yeah?

toyota is the better car in every way
toyota over hondas hands down
a corolla is faster than a dc5

Yes DC5R has 6spd.
If you are going to do that, then you may as well work little bit harder and get the R type, be easier in the long run...
