im looking to get one soonish, either a DC2 :

or a newer DC5 :


Any opinions guys, which would you go for?
Would anyone choose a civic R over these 2?
Or maybe go for something else entirely such as classic impreza RB5 :


HELP!!

id persaonlly have a dc5 as its newer but the dc2 is a lot more raw, up close is soo much nicer than on pictures.
civic type-r is an awesome car but alot more civil than the other 2 unless u got for an ek9 shape. personally id ahve the ek9 shape as there very rare and are just superb cars.

DC5,
Insurance is a killer mind...
So so expensive... If you find somewhere giving you a good quote let me know where...

The civic will save you much more on the insurance.. there is not much differance in the speed..
Just the handling and looks are much better with the DC5

would be a dc2 for me, if you can get a good price on a 98 JDM version all the better, however the uk spec one is still ace

I like integras but the obvious problem of insurance put me off. DC5 would have to be an import job wouldnt it?
As much as everyone on here hates them I'm going for the ctr.
