DC5 Advice

[bb1-man]

Hello guys,

I'm currently considering a DC5 type R as a replacement for my current car. Wondering if you guys have any advice to whether this car is recommended, or any other car would be better it its price range.

Driving style is daily grandmother-speed commute, with a bit of weekend fun on the hills + occasional track days.

I was well versed with the H22A before so I fully appreciate the versatility of honda engines. Maybe sifus here can comment in terms of price/performance/reliability/practicality of the DC5.

Thanks!

I just bought the DC5 R about 3 months ago and I think it’s a good buy. For me the fuel consumption is good. The stock suspension quite stiff but I think should be no problem for daily commute.

DC5 R + track day = better than sex

But, IMHO if you have more budgets, then better go with the new civic type R

i will add more later.

thanks for the inputs guys.

subcon,
i like the way u put it. better than sex :) anything common issues i should look out for when shopping?

FD type R is above budget :( but i can understand the plus points in terms of practicality.....

Practicality

It’s a two door coupe. Not much practicality there I suppose. But I noticed it has a rather big boot.

Performance

Well, IMHO the stock DC5 R is not that fast. But the handling is superb. It’s just so fun to drive. I’ve owned an EVO 7 before and I’ve noticed on track when negotiating corner the DC5 is easier compared to the EVO maybe due to the car's FF layout.

Reliability

Thumb up. I have taken part quite a few numbers of track day and so far I have no problem at all with the car. No rising temperature, no weird sound coming from somewhere and so on. I have belasah the car on track and so far so good!

Others

Well, just make sure the vtec ‘bukak’ before u purchase the car :). If u can, buy it from NAZA. They have 1 year warranty for recon cars. Terms and conditions applied.

i mean ........... if you like coupes ..... and if you like honda , basically, it's the top choice..... seeing we can't get the USDM Civic Si Coupe here.........

ask yourself a few things when you're choosing a car:

1) Can you imagine yourself in driving it?
2) Can you imagine the over-heads involved with it?
3) Can you imagine the number of women you'll get with it?


you have your answer.
