Accord Type R

So, Celica GT Four is bye bye after being written off. I've been given a good pay out from insurnace company (still awaiting cheque) so looking for replacments.

I've had my fill of turbo nutter 4WD jap cars and fancy something a bit different. I loved my old Primera GT and a lot of people have said the Accord Type R is the faster, better handling and rawer brother of it. Plus insurance is surprisingly low compared to others.

So, who has one, what's it like, anything to watch out for, running costs etc.

Btw, I have between £4-£4.5k to spend.

A silver 206 decided the rear end needed some alterations

DC2 was tempting, but for some reason was nearly twice the price of an ATR, thats at about 5 different insurance cos.

Might go and have a look at some this weekend, couple for sale near Sheffield so might go for a test drive.

Edit: What about this one? http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-u...model=ACCORD&min_pr=&max_pr=5000&max_mileage=

Thanks for the Integras, but as i've already pointed out, insurance is astronomical for them, even the UKDM cars.
