A feature for a forthcoming issue of Modern Classics magazine, shot a couple of weeks ago, in which I put these two up against one another. Which would you pick...?  DSC_1775 by dbizzle_, on Flickr  DSC_1772 by dbizzle_, on Flickr |

Type R
Every VW I've owned has been terrible in one way or another (although cool in one way or another too).

I agree Teg for me. However if it was G60 I might have to reconsider. Perhaps it's because I've had a VR6 and not a Teg.

Corrado for me, had a g60 corrado some years ago and it was fantastic I doubt a vr6 would feel as 'raw' but the noise that comes from them would make up for it

Gotta love an Integra. Corrado never floated my boat.

I've got quite a soft spot for a Corrado, but I'd have the integra for sheer driving thrills reputation

The two cars I could've and should've had, so I cannot comment on which is better as in 'how they drive'.
I mean, they both look really, really cool and have cracking engines.
But it'd have to be the Integra.

I am a massive VAG fan but there is no comparison here.
A lazy Coupe based on a Golf - The VR6 engine sounds great but is heavy and lazy, the suspension is wallowy, the gearbox is vague, steering feedback is pants.
A purpose built car that knows what it is supposed to be - Fantastic engine, brakes, suspension set up, incredible gearchange and handling, rev happy B18 engine.

I'll have both please. On a side note I'm really enjoying Modern Classics magazine, seems to tick all the right boxes at the moment.

DC2 Type R was sold in the UK. We got the ones with the quad headlamps rather than the traditional shaped Honda headlights. |

Definitely will be a future classic IMO. Imports are much better looking than UKDM I reckon, especially the later (post '98?) with the bigger wheels. I'll have one in yellow please.

Out of those two it's a hard one.
One is more a smallish cruiser that can handle well in its own right.
The other is an out and out driver's car.
I have had the pleasure of being in both of them. Out of the two it would have to be the DC2. Christ, I'd even take a DC5 over the 'rrado!

Integra for me. I never took to the looks of the Corrado.

Both completely standard factory fresh, I'd pick the Corrado  May be different if it was the UK spec Integra though! Just prefer the Corrado visually over the Teg, and would probably have more fun on the types of journey I do in a 2.9  |

The car in the first post had round lights, because it's a UK one. |
