Throwing a few ideas about at the moment about what car at the end of the year, still considering the Integra Type R and The Jordan Civic.
Whats your opinions on the RS? It looks the shiznits  0 - 60 in 6.7 seconds and just over 200bhp  I can get insured on it too, very easily according to admiral

DC2 or DC5?
Either one I'd say take it over the RS.

RS looks ace imo, but i doubt youll get many good comments on here buddy, ask about it on a ford site, at least they know what they are talking about with regards to the car

Still hold their value well as they only made a limited number.

Definatly but with the introduction of the new Focus ST "ASBO" I would expect the price to fall a bit

You cant really compare a DC2 integra with it, very different, why are you not considering a DC5, similar amount to buy, similar performance and they look great!

id have the honda over the ford any day , as i think the RS is very over rated and most people who drive them think that they own the road  - just my opinion though

the one pictured above was for sale at trax if im correct, because my mate was going to sell his RS which has 280bhp for the one with the chrome under the hood but changed his mind and stuck with the power.
very nice cars though, would get one myself but i think insurance boys might have something to say

dave has hit the nail on the head here
the new focus st is probably only 2-3k more. its an option with more power and obviously newer car but you buy an RS cos its special.
Focus RS seem to hold their value well at the moment too. but i dont know what a honda would hold its value like

I think they are nice but would have an Astra GSi or Leon Cupra R instead 
Or an 888 if you want something a bit more race look
