I drove my friend's DC5 many years ago, interior is nicer, body styling is better, newer.. It was DC5 > DC2

Until I got myself a DC2R recently.. didnt really like it at first, noisy, etc, I dont know why I got it, but over time it grows in me.. like Deano said, the rawness, the noise, etc

So for me now I'd get DC2R over DC5R any day.. real type R!
