    Smile 20K for car what would you do ?

    hey guys,
    need ur honest opinions on something that has bugging me for a while now ... i have my eyes on a car and i want to get either a Dc5 type R or Ep3 type R ... i know this has been covered before and many would say go the Ep3 as its a real jdm type r, more power better handling much rarer etc and others would argue for the Dc5 ... the things is to me i do like the sound of real jdm type R and better performance etc, however i find that the Dc5 R can be up to about 3-4 k cheaper if you look, and to me the looks of the coupe apeals to me much more than the Ep3 however with that said i do prefer the interior of the Ep3 as it looks more modern ... i have 20 K to play with and was thinking should i get the Dc5 R and use the rest to modify it (there is only 9-10 kw difference between the two and the Ep3 is a bit heavier) or should i get the Ep3 and enjoy it as it is? I do understand that i should go and test drive both and see for myself which one i prefer and also there will be alot of biasness with some replys... but with that all aside what do u guys think ? and your input will be greatly apreciated thxx

    I say EP3R, although I believe not all are JDM as some were made in Britain.
    I personally dislike the dash on the DC5Rs and considering it's what you look at everytime you're in it I'd go nuts.
    I also prefer the look of the facelift EP3R.

    mmm i do prefer the looks of the dash in the ep3 however i dont mind the dash of the dc5 R but * personally * if it were just looks id choose the dc5 over the ep3 anyday (exterior)
    true the look of the facelift ep3r is quite nice but its out of my price range i think =S
