In my opinion though the Integra is better, remember seeing one of the Jap vids with the Hondas racing and the Integras were much quicker.
Guess the 1.8 versus 1.6 engine and the extra torque helps.
Plus Integra is a coupe !!!!
EK9 Civic Type Rs are extremely rare and holding value of the EP3 ones !!!
Suppose it depends on your budget mate, you cant go wrong with either car, the DC5 is my personal fave but it is more money and more of a road car than the DC2 or EK9.
