It doesn't mean much in real terms but don't forget the DC2 beat the (newer) Trophy for Greatest Fwd Drivers car honours, in EVO (100).
Not a recommendation to be taken lightly though.http://www.evo.co.uk/features/features/240343/top_...
Actually why am I defending the Trophy? I own a DC2. (and I almost bought your old car Barry) I think we all agree that they are both great and the OP should just test drive both and decide. Or flip a coin.

Love it, did you import it or was it already imported before you purchased it ?As I deal mainly in Jap cars, I've had seven DC2's and zero Clios. I wouldn't be a fan of the Clio regardless of the specific model, nor have I driven one. The Integra does looks better from all angles in my opinion.
The Integra is a great car. I've had most cars within reason at one time or another and I always love getting in a DC2. They're faster on the road than most people give them credit for. I would prefer the styling of the UK car over the JDM although I currently have a JDM version here.
They've got some issues as they're getting on a bit now. Rust, bushes, piston rings, valve stem oil seals etc, but realistically these are all minor fixes to someone who knows what they're doing. It takes a lot to blow a B18 up, even one with the above problems.
I can appreciate why they don't appeal to some, as the rattle, bang, aren't very comfortable, the road noise is ever present, and while not particularly noisy at low revs they're very loud when the cam profile changes. Fantastic to drive though and if you get great pleasure from driving the DC2 is a great choice, especially for all they're worth now.
