The only Honda I desire is the NSX, but not at the prices they command, stupid money new and stupid money secondhand.
Yes the DC2 / DC5 are good fun cars to chuck around but thats all they do well, when you take the package as a whole they don't really come off that well, same story with the NSX really.
As we all know this is what Porsche have cracked since the 996, its a great allround package.

Moped?
Did you choke him to death?
There not as quick as most people would think. Id be right up it's arse.Tell me about this all round package?
DC5- Quick enough, cheap to service, cheaper to tax that similar cars, better/same mpg as similar cars, awesome looks, massive boot, great seats, great handling, steering, brakes.
What else is there in this package of your's?
Day to day comfort for drives that aren't on twisty B roads?
A car superior in every single way bar space. I dont even know why you are still arguing the toss between these two manufacturers, they just aint on the same page.
Im not even trying to sound like a dick here, but when you can spend 30k on a car see if you still buy an 8k Honda.

Huh? do you just pull random crap out of your ass? I didn't compare the car to anything.
You said a DC2/DC5 isn't very good as an all round package. Id love to know why.
No i didnt say that at all, read back.
I asked in what way was a Cayman not quick.
And then went on to say it was a superior package to your Honda in every single way bar space.
You really don't make any sense, at all.
And a Cayman (even a non-S) is fast, deal with it.

As said, when not driving it like you should it just becomes a loud and irritating poorly soundproofed hatchback.
It’s not very good for long distance driving, the interior isn't really a very nice place to be, yes its well built but the choice of plastics and fittings isn't that great, has it got cruise control or even climate control?
So as i said as a back road racer its fantastic, as an all-round package it doesn't stack up.
The 911 works equally well down a back road as it does on the motorway.
I always pull up along side those people in the BSM cars, they're always in a Ford Focus, probably a debadged ST. No idea what BSM stands for but I'm guessing British Sport Motoring or something equally as awesome.
So I know they're game for a race. My car must just strike fear in them the minute I pull up along side however, as the driver is always sat completely up right, really nervous looking and holding the wheel in the 10 to 2 position, probably knowing that the sheer torque advantage I have will mean that any amount of BHP they have in their cars are rendered obsolete.
The outcome is always the same, I always shoot forward in comparison, practically punching a hole through time with my torquez. Sometimes the disturbance in the air around my car from the launch causes them to stall

It's a coupe, num nuts. Loud and soundproofed? Have you been in one, it's the same as a civic R, or any similar car/price.
The interior is fine when compared to similar cars, it has climate control, but who the **** cares, if it's hot, turn the ****ing heater knob down, if it's cold turn it up. Are you one of them who needs auto wipers, and all that ****e.
Your comparing it to a 911 now? because your a complete and utter idiot.
