you are comparing orange and apple.......one is NA engine, FF layout and the other is force induction, FR layout......total different car in terms of driverbility and handling......and dun forget you ask this question in a honda base forum and I will assume 99% of the respond is go for the honda.....lol......If you ask me I will tell you the same simply NA is not as thirsty as Turbo and its more daily friendly for beginners......stock to stock a DC2R blows most of the turbo cars from those years.....If you wanna to compare a DC2 and DC2R I will go R bro.......coz in the end you will spend all your $$ to make a DC2 with all the R parts.....so why dun you get an R from the beginniner and work ur way up.....that save you more $$ rather then mod a base to an R.......unless you have plans in the future to buy anyother car......just my 2 cents....

lol, well ive driven both many times; first things first. imho i beleieve the 180 is better then the Vti-R performance wise, then the Type-R is better then the 180 in performance; but then the 180sx is more fun to drive then a Type-R only because of the dori action you can get. only if you are into drift though, if you're only into racing lines and no slip action then the type-R will be more fun for you.

I would suggest the 180sx only because you cant afford a Type-R, alot of my mates have dc2 vtirs and every single one of them are chasing after Type-Rs, building thier cars to immitiate the TypeR, honestly its not that bad of an idea, only... lets face it the Vtir isnt a TypeR and never will be.
Where as the 180sx is a very versatile machine, it has the sr20det for gods sake; mod for mod wise the sr20 will get more response and more power out of similar costing mods then the vtir will get. Everyone is saying go the honda; but none of them have noticed that you cant get a typer, no offence anyone. Petrol will be somewhat of a concern but the sr20 doesnt do too bad with fuel, i should know i drove one daily for a few months s15 but. and i know my friends with the vtirs dont do that well with petrol either; it really depends on the condition of the engine.

last but not least, Its not a tight car if its not a Type R, go the 180sx; because the Vtir isnt a TypeR.

theres your decision right there

[TEE.KAY]

imo, get a loan and buy a type r. But if thats not an option, 180 >vtir.

[45SET]

Oh...

You only have 14k and you can get a trubo 180.

because you can't get a Type R due to funds i would go the 180. Because if you get a VTi-R you'll just wished you had got a Type R.

But in saying that i would get a shitta first and LEARN to drive in that... is saving some money on getting a good car for your first car more important then your life?

my advice...

if you get a VTiR, you'l end up spending money on it doing this and that..

add that cash onto your 14k and you'll realise in afew months you could have got yourself a DC2R.

So borrow some cash, buy a DC2R...leave it stock and enjoy it the way it is..

While slowly paying the (say 6k) off you borrowed, then once thats done, you can get yourself a BETTER turbo car once you've had 1. the experience and 2. the money to maintain the car.....say a nice EVO or STi.

There would be nothing worse than buying a car and regretting it a short time after.

amen 2 that.

lol i would not take out a loan at 18 years of age.
honestly speaking its better just to get the 180sx.
unless you have a full time job or a really well paying casual job
also the way the economy looks at the moment u dont want to take aloan either
im not saying that the dc2r isnt a great car, coz face it its a bloody good car
but a loan at 18 years of age, just for a car isnt worth it imho

VTIR ftw, lols in terms of reliability, P plater safe for resale it will be much easier, petrol, response, insurance, vtec.

but yer ur really comparing two different animals and they all have their pro's and con's. all in all for simplicity sake and less of a headache, go NA and snap up a vtir.

i've driven a 180sx too, fun cars with plenty of torque, flutter, pull, kick outs but if i was in ur shoes, vtir
