A friend had one.. was tuned N/A to 250whp, went like stink, sounded and handled great...but not very practical. Not that it should have been. Truly a 'race car for the road'

My other half has one. I like driving it but I prefer my golf if we get the choice. You have to work them hard being high rpm na power, they lack torque but handle great!

The engine is a master piece, chassis is good and it has a stock LSD.

As said there good like all type r 's they are fun cars to drive, but day to day they get a bit boring as you have to work the engine for power. Great fun mind  :driver:

i had one before  my ed30,before that i had an ep3 for 5 year,loved it,so next step thought right il buy a dc5,suppose to be the ultimate honda,not for me unfortunatly,the steering was really stiff due to the lsd..the seats were only designed for people with 28 inch waists(the japs),power was even further up the rev range than the ep3,brakes were suppose to be ace and were crap,it looked amazing in white and think they are an awesome car to look at but just not practical for everyday for me.

needless to say i only had it for 3 month.
