Thank you! That's why we love Hondas here at Accelerate. As you said, you can bash through 1st, 2nd and 3rd with a big smile on your face knowing you are not doing "lose your licence" speeds. In a VTEC car, you look at the rev counter, not the speedo! Thank you for watching! - Drew

I bought a very very low mileage 2002 dc5 (26k miles/42k Kms) a few weeks ago, I paid a lot of money, but it was fully worth it, and I love it. Very very fun. Unlike anything available now days. Huge grip, great chassis, the k20a is a great engine matched to a fantastic gearbox, not that quick to be fair, but such a fun car. You can't really compare it to an Evo, purely because they're a different animal completely, one 4wd and turbo, the other screams to 8500 and is fwd. Both are amazing vehicles in their own right. But the dc5 will never break down and always put a huge smile on you're face.

The naturally aspirated bug bites hard in a world when everything is turbo!

Great video lads, nice to see back at it, looking forward to keeping up with ya adventures in 2022👍🏻👍🏻

I have a 2005 and having driven type r hondas for 20 years i absolutely love it i have owned and driven all manner of fast machines from the 90s and today and its the feeling and the sound of the honda thats kept me coming back .

Slap a turbo on it and then take some Crv awd parts and make a monster that looks sexy af. I think that might be the reason these are worth so much, it's a great car not just a k20 donor.

I'm in California driving a RSX-S with a frank'd engine and love the platform. The DC5 is a fantastic car. People say they're not fast, but lets be honest low 14's or every high 13's in a four cylinder is not slow by any stretch and easily obtainable for anyone who wants to mod their car. My next mod is a LSD from a Civic SI. Great and fun video guys. Thanks for the upload.

I'm so glad I bought my DC5 type s I bought mine in April and I've never been happier with any car purchase. Best bang for my buck I've ever bought and the value of these cars are increasing daily.

Yes the dc5s can creep to evo prices, but the cost of actually running them is massively different. I’d rather have the dc5 over the evo, and still have money spare

I have a 2001 DC5R, I got a 2-4 videos on my channel. It has definitely crossed my mind quite a few times about selling it, but then again I know for a fact ill regret it in the near future. It's a great car and fun, specially on the mountain twisties. I agree the "car" is not worth that much, but the nostalgia, badge, and experience driving makes it debatable.

Just got a fully replica one a month ago for $15k. A little beat but it’s in the performance shop now and then paint after. Interior is pretty mint. I’ll probably be paying 20-25k after everything and shop cost but damn it was worth every penny. If I ever want to sell it, it won’t be a problem for a mint one. People are paying big bucks on BaT.

Can't be compared to a UK ep3, Different engines all together, Different gear ratios, lsd in dc5, hydraulic steering, makes all the difference

Facelift looks way better in my opinion, but I still love the pre facelift too. I’ve owned mine for coming up on three years and have put some decent upgrades into it. The car never ceases to amaze me with how it revs and handles through the back roads.

Where can I get one of those sweatshirts?! My current car is the 2006 Acura RSX Type S, which is the last year Honda/Acura made this beauty. Bought it new, and have babied it for 17 years now, and just turned 120,700+ miles! This replaced my 1996 Acura Integra GSR that had been stolen from my office parking lot. The GSR had replaced my first Honda product, the 86 Honda Accord Lxi Hatchback! My Type S is stock; wanted to keep it that way for 'future' but I have no plans to sell it. Hoping for another 17 years! Do you have a shop/store for your shirts? Seriously, gotta get one of those! New subscriber from Northern California!
