Buying Decisions

[maksim]

Hi
Ok, time for a new car. I just old my 98 Alfa GTV V6, and need a new car. I really want a DC type R, but i find it very hard to get in NSW and they are all 2003+ models that are too expensive. I test drove a dc2 type r, but i just find them too outdated now (interior wise, though it drives awesome).
I also drove a DC5 integra (not type r), and found them a fun car too drive, and they are alot cheaper. mid 20's.

What is your opinion on buying a DC5 (not type r) model?
because the 10g that u save from not buying ITR, i reckon you can make a standard one go even faster.

i would go for the dc5r... 10k wont get u anywhere as balanced as the R

i strongly agree.

You can spend 20 g's on the base, but it'll never be an R
Get the R
Don't think you'll regret it

i agree with the above posts!

depends on wat u want...u could turbocharge a DC5 for 10 grand and that would haul balls!

Also with resale the R will always be a lot better than a modified standard model.

Yeah 10k would get a turbo kit and more but what about handling, recaros & bodykit etc.? get the R

[faijai]

mate u will never regret spending an extra 10k for an R.
