Weighing up pros and cons: AUDM DC2r/DC5r versus AUDM S15 200sx

[Mikecivic78]

I had a quick look at what S15s are asking for these days and you'll easily get something for $19k.

Stock and even heavily modified examples start from $15k and some apparently have only 40-50K on the odometer:

Thanks for the posts cyber_scriber. Some real s15 bargains here! The stock gunmetal and next-to stock yellow one are what I'd be after. They are cheap as! Maybe someone is in mortgage stress!

I'm sure I'll get a mint s15 or DC5R for <$19K when I trade up. Although I love the DC2r, there is no replacement for displacement, especially in a daily driven car. K20a and SR20 (both 2L class) have decent torque and are still pretty frugal.
