Agreed. That's a big IF though. And they seem to fetch more than DC2s these days.

I would also take the Clio over the DC2, but would have a DC5 in a shot.
Renault simply make the best cheap hot hatches. And still do.
A stripped out 182 on a track will be glued to the back of any oem S2000, have seen it twice

The correct order is:

DC2

DC5

Bus

Renaul

Any reason for that?

The DC5 is supposedly not as good to drive as the DC2, and significantly more expensive - 2001 mint DC2 = £5k. 2001 mint DC5 is closer to £10k.

I like the style, and the bigger brakes, and the better interior.
A tuned version with some carbon Mugen parts is a beautiful machine IMO.

But alas the used prices, as you say are IMO stupid.
Ten grand for a nine year old Honda hatch?
Nah, 13K got me a low mile one owner, 2.5 year old R26 and thats even better to drive everywhere.

Ultimately, this engine problem cast too many unknowns and put me off buying into an FD2 or similar new Hondas.
