(they're are not AD08's)
btw i'd love a JDM 98 spec DC2 but they're just too pricy, for the money I'd much rather have my nicer cheaper prem ep3 as my daily
only if i have the money to find and restore/ maintain a nice JDM, sadly I don't...
DC5's in the other hand are win win IMO, better daily car for sure, just as fun (not as raw thou) and much, much better interior, but again, nice mint one quite pricy, compare to EP3'
I had a mint low mileage 30th anniversary EP3 which I sold last year. For the extra money I would have needed to get a decent DC5, I felt it would have been too much of a sideways step. If I was going to spend that kind of money, I'd have been looking at M3's, Evo's and possibly an E39 M5.
In the end I decided not to spend too much money as its a third car, but still wanted something involving and rewarding. My every day car has a comfortable interior and having owned the DC2 for a couple of months, its a far better fit for my needs than a DC5 would have been. Personal opinion, but Dc5's I've driven are cerainly not as fun as the DC2.
Last months Evo compared the DC2 with E30 M3's, the Clio 200 and the GT86. Their verdict; the DC2 is brilliant.
