I love the DC2, and I was a whisker away from buying one a couple of years back. However I think they are over priced for what they are. This is more likely to do with them holding their value, as Honda UK have never released a replacment.
They handle like no other fwd car I've driven and if I had the cash I'd still get one. I wasn't that impressed with the VTEC kick over.

I have never just got in and driven it for no reason like I used to in the S2000 though.
Now I'm used to the Civic, I'm finding that I have to be very aggressive with it to get the same sort of fun the S used to provide

The B-series doesn't have a pronounced VTEC kick - it is however, a very sweet-running little engine with a lovely 'kerrang' sound in the mid-sixes.
I'm gonna STFU now, before I talk myself into a DC2!

It seems it's impossible to make a car handle like that any more, which is why they will be sought-after.

That is a pretty mint example of a DC2 tho....
Its not all about power in the ITR - its lightweight drivetrain and handling setup is what wins most too its charms!
I would rather pay a bit extra for a low mileage model than one of the high milers that have been abused.
Things too look for: Service History - They drink oil - The white wheels can be a pain but can refurbish easily. Bolster wear on the drivers seat. There are not many unmodified ones left about these days!
