Comfort in Type R

[snYpz]

Hi guys,
I am not too familar with sports cars but im considering buying a second hand 2003 DC5R or a 2003 WRX...wat are the benefits of each that u noe of?
I noe personally that the HOndas are very reliable as i am driving atm a 1998 model accord. the type r, from reviews appear to be uncomfortable for driving? can this be fixed by suspension or sth? the WRX is good because its all wheel drive and 4 doors.
Also, can adults fit into the back seats...im 6ft tall BTW...

cheers

you will have a hard time fitting anybody in the back seat
i m 5ft7 and barely anyone can fit behind the drivers seat.

stay away from parramatta rd if you're in sydney, its one bumpy mofo. i've sat in a echo, jazz, accord, MR2, S15, DC5 S, Accord Euro.

i still reckon the DC5R has the best seats, great back support. hugs you so tight... i can just fall asleep on them when i m waiting for my gf.

the back seats are fine in a dc2 compared to say... an s15 (u may as well chop ur legs off)...

[dark138]

you buying the car for yourself or for other people?

who need back seats
if should you + your miss
thats all

[snYpz]

well yeh for me...but sometimes if i go out with some mates for a drink its more convenient!

[dark138]

if you're going for a drink

you should really take a taxi
don't put yourself and others at risk

WRX is more comfortable than DC2R.

He's talking about dc5r...

Go the wrx if would like passengers to have room. plus awd
I find the suspension is not as harsh in the wrx

opppss my bad

WRX also has 4 doors. WRX definitely more comfortable for rear passengers, its similar to say a nissan pulsar.

get the WRX
more roomy and comfortable (suspension wise) and there more fun to drive with a blow off valve, but thats just me...

ehhee blow off valve eh, you really live up to your name

im 6"1' or 6"2' depending on the day and my head hits the roof and its driving me nuts. Im thinking i might try get the seat lowered a bit.

wrx vs teg are apples and oranges.

things to consider:

Can you fit comfortably?
If you want to mod it wrx will be easier and cheaper to get power from.
Teg will use alot less fuel
Teg will be alot easier/cheaper to insure
In my opinion the teg is built better so you will have less problems with it.
Long drives the teg blows as susp is too hard and doesnt have alot of torque.
everybody drives wrxes makes em cheaper though.
