Evo 6 Or Dc5r

[blackeagle299]

Hi everyone, sorry but this is nothing to skylines, hope you guys wont mind. Would like to know what you guys think bout these cars

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 6 and Honda Integra DC5 Type R

Im looking to get one of these soon and just cant make up my mind after some time. Been searching bout these cars for some time and i guess i might know some tiny bit bout them. I will keep them as stock as possible and just want to know which one will hold their resale value better (after 1-2 years)? will be happy for any comments, Thanks

My budget is around 20k

DC5R will hold its value better, and can probably resell easier.

Because DC5R is one of the fastest legal car for a P plater

Hey bud,

Both are good cars, if your going to get an EVO 6, try go for the better speced Tommy Makinen Edition, you say you'll keep them stock so ill assume they're not going to see much track time, EVO's are really focused and purpose built, very stiff and firm to drive but a real drivers car.

The DC5 is also focused but not as much as the EVO, great cars for the street if you don't mind the FWD format

In terms of value for money and depreciation, i think (subjectively) that the DC5 will hold its value better as it is newer and also P-Plate legal - thats where the money is atm, in naturally aspirated cars - i think so anyway

All the best happy hunting

Pictures also don't hurt =)

Thanks alot for the awesome pics man ! Im always like to have a Championship White DC5 ! IMO the white is the best colour to go with the REDS for type R.

Yea, been thinking bout the TME as well but its just slightly off my budget since they cost around 5-6k more, but also, alot more awesome machine !

And one more Ques bros, for the DC5R, do u think i should import ones ? or just look for one around, Thanks

[JGTC]

Not too sure if u can import the new DC5R's from japan, the only JDM Integras i've seen are the DC2R's - and they fetch a pretty penny.

JDM DC2R

[eMsta]

The JDM DC2R is such a nice looking machine!

my choice would be evo though - just love their performance! (am thinkning of getting an evo 7 next year) - but from what i can see, resale value is not as good for evos

[turbo rxp]

FWD are purpose built for girls , get a 4WD

Yea man, resale valueis one of the prob for evo i guess, the 9 drop like 6-7k ? in one year's time i think

I'm laughing at you, not with you.

c'mon juliette.... not only is it true, but its the most accurate statement jim's ever made on here

torque steer yo FTL

[West]

DC5 will save you heaps on petrol comparing to the AWD machine, chicks dig it too . EVO will piss all over DC5 at anytime and place.

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 6.5 TME FTW!

EVO 6 / 6.5 are one of the best EVO's out of the 10 that where released.

BTW eMsta, EVO 7's are the worst. LOL!

Such a fun and awesome car to drive.

[_Ryan_]

First car or first car for driving hard? JDM DC2R would be awesome, but honda's lack torque IMO...

EVO TME FTW

Keeps you on your toes. It's no fun if you can't fight the steering wheel Torque steer is fine, understeer is horrible.

[paulr33]

evo 6 is horrible

[Juan]

consider the ep3r instead of integra

[AGE]

evo 6 is horrible

Yeah but it beats the "VTEC Lag" that the DC5R has.

Stretch the Budget and get a EVO 6.5 (TME)...it will hold its value, and is a WAY better car.

FWD is like winning a race @ the special Olympics....

[AGE]

One more....
