Hi all, asking for advice from people who have experience of both accord type R and dc2 integra. I currently own a facelift ATR with a few simple mods, I love the car and have been on a few track days but I have an itch for the teg. Is the driving experience really worth the extra money that they go for over the ATR? At the time I bought the car the teg was out of my price range but now I'll be able to afford one but not sure if I'm going to spend more to get a similar driving experience. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. Sounds like it's best just to keep the ATR and go for something totally different for the extra cash.

the fact the ATR drops out of vtec in 3rd and 4th is very annoying, I've heard people say if it does you're not driving it properly but I'd like to see it demonstrated. It's not helped by the 5 speed box which I doubt the ITR would be as affected by considering the weight difference too. Yes the ATR does have xenons. As for a DC5, I think a good example will be another step up in price from a DC2. I'm more drawn to the rawness of the DC2 although having not driven either I may be wrong in that assumption.

I think I've made my decision. I'm going to keep the ATR. My reasoning being that I know the car inside out and it's in great condition and I feel it will be a bit of a gamble finding an equivalently good ITR. Also, not that the ITR is an everyday sight but I think the ATR has got that bit more exclusivity (I may be wrong on that) I'd love to drive one but don't want to mess a seller around just going for a test drive.

Thanks everyone for the advice
