Would you sell this...

DSC00100.jpg

A 1995 Corrado VR6, full VWSH, loads of history, 82,000ish miles and in very good condition...

 

to buy a 1998/99 Honda Integra Type-R (DC2)?

 

Nothing wrong with the Corrado at all, its quick, reliable and pretty unique, just thinking of a change.

 

Discuss.

They're supposed to be awesome. Mr Beige was telling me about a video where one dominates an R32.

 

Dunno if I like the shape enough though.

no, not if the corrado is in great condition as said etc, has plenty of life in it still.

 

i think the corrado seems more grown up than the vtec stuff

Ive had Hondas in the past and they were awesome, not as much charater as a C but great cars... my brother had a 99 integra type R and it was superb.

 

Most people dismiss Hondas because they have either never driven one or driven it for 5 minutes...with the type R's or vtec's once you get used to the rev band etc they are great fun.

You can Dominate an R32 in a VR6 Golf or Corrado, standard R32`s are not that quick to be fair

Put it this way, neither car is bad. But having owned both for over 5 years side by side I sold the Type R to fund my R32 engine conversion, so what does that tell you? ..........but the Type R is the better car without question, much better handling and LOVED the engine. Never went wrong other than regular service items either :wink:

Type R's are supposed to be excellent but the only complaint I ever hear about stuff like that against the Corrado is a lack of soul. And I think that counts for a lot.

So, soul = torque? :nuts: I like jap cars too, but I think you will miss the soul/character of C if you sell it.

Or does soul = breaking everytime you buy a shiny item to fit it? :lol: If I just wanted to get in a car and drive it, I'd go Jap, reliability is so much better, take 4x4s, Landrover = toss, if you really want to go somewhere, Japanese is the way forward.

Reliability is over-rated, He says having postponed the MOT to get the water pump changed :lol: Good excuse to fit a solid pulley instead of that damn rattley freewheeling one though! :clap: 8)

 

 

And it's "Turning Japanese!"
