Anyone driven one or been in one? Thinking about getting one in a few months maybe always loved the DC2's but dont think i could live with it being so old and i've never really heard much about the DC5

Opinions please

(for those that dont know - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-INTEGRA-...#ht_1667wt_1139 )

Mmmmmmmmm DC5

The K20 unit is just awesome, pretty sure they are 220bhp in standard form

I did have a quick gander at these but i was essentially looking at an 8 year old car for the price i wanted to pay :/

Very much worth it though they are very good!

Yeah i might take a look round one this weekend at a garage see what i really think maybe get him to give me a test drive lol. The prices do seem quite high for an 01-2 (which being realistic is probably the most i can afford) but those EK9's hold price really well

Imports always hold there value, especially the EK9 and the DC5 as they are all imports.

DC5 was a drivers car of the year for a few year. Awesome cars but very hard to insure.
