I test drove one earlier and I have to say, I did like it .... but after the vtec kicked in and I moved from 2nd into 3rd to start over again .... I was like ... is THIS IT?? Now don't get me wrong it was quick and I LOVE honda's. I've had 3 of them, all civics ... but I was just left a bit 'meh' about the experience.…

From what I remember of my dc2s, cornering involved ****in the car in there as hard as you could until the magic tree hanging from the rear view mirror was hitting you on the side of the head, then when the arse starting sliding out behind you just smile some more :-) understeer....I think not. The DC5 was every bit as good but I probably had more fun in the DC2. DC5 was costing me a lot as well so was less inclined to abuse it like the DC2s.

OP, if you will be doing a lot of boring, mundane driving then go with the DC5. The extra comfort and refinement will stand you better. Trust me. It's still able to bang off 9000 anytime you find the chance as well.
However, if you will be driving shorter journeys on twisty backroads or using it more a weekend job then go for the DC2. Will be hell of a lot cheaper as well.
