DC5 Type R vs RX8

[Prince_James]

you are aware of the difference between the type-r and type-s in australia arnt you?

the type-s actually has better cams and a better exhaust - and it has more comfortable suspension and a better interior
the aus Dc5R got the short end of the stick lol

for what you are describing i think you would love a type-s

yeah i know of the differences between the type s and type r wished i could get a jdm dc5 r
hmmm the type s interior is pretty much similar compared to the dc5 r right ? cept the leather seats and sunroof ?
buhh i dunno just dont like the type s for some reason personal preference really
but ill have a look into the type s thanks for the suggestion =)

Oh and another problem with the type s is my budget i have a budget of 20 K maximum about 23 k
cheers =D

i understand you're willing to put a lot of money and effort into maintaining a rx8. but believe.. you will hell regret.. a simple service.. can easily get 700 dollars. my cousin has one! also you said 380km for 61 litres.. but after time cars will run richer. my cousins rx8 is getting about 300 from 60 litres. i would choose the dc5>rx8! but best p-plater imho is ep3r =D

haha nahh great car but need something that can carry friends and maybe family too two seater doesnt help
and also im 6 foot 2 heard it would be a very tight squeeze for me lols
buhh yeahh just choosing between Dc5 R or Rx8

Honestly saying, the Rx8 isnt really a 4 seater car, IMO, its basically a 2 seater car, its really tight at the back.

I would take DC5R coz its more fuel efficient, relatively fast and good handling. Back seat has plenty of space to fit two people (not tall ones).

really?? is it that bad??

[Prince_James]

hmmm i would have thought that the rx8 had more room in the back seat than the dc5 =S

[THEEYA]

damn the rx8 back must be tiny haha

[Prince_James]

damn the rx8 back must be tiny haha

on most review they all say that there is sufficient space to seat 2 adults comfortably in the back seat

im not being biast. cause of owning a honda and all..

if i saw a rx8 it would turn my head more than a dc5r.

but straight down to the bottom of it.

i dont want to have to deal with a rebuild at the end of the year that will amount up to $6000

do they really need a engine rebuild at the end of every year ?
