Default DA or DC4.. which would you choose?

ive got the option to buy either one...... both in good condition..... ive had a DA and always liked the ergonomics (feels more like a drivers car to me)....

the DA will obviously save me some money (leave me some for mods)... but the DC4 has lower mileage

i just dont know which way to go...... any reasons why you would choose one over the other??

depends on what year either car is. keep in mind the newest DA is over 13 years old... then again its your choice in the end.

I would go witht he dc4.. lower miles better looks imo and better resale value. you can always mod later.

see ive always liked the look of the DAs better, but ive never owned a DC...

the lower mileage and the ease of finding parts makes me lean toward the DC

A poll would have been more efficient IMHO, but if you want my personal advice go with what's more convienent for you, and only you know what's more convienent here. Although the DA is an older car, I've seen DA's where the odometer mileage was not even a factor, it's all in the maintenance and personal care of your vehicle.

i was a member there for years.....had a 90 DA with b20 swap.... they of course are slightly biased...

i figured i would post here on H-T to maybe get some opinions of people with both or have had both...

i hoping to pick up the DC4 in the next couple weeks.....ill post details then....

all i know is its nice to be getting back in the scene (and to be getting rid of my rediculous car payment)

Hell yeah!! DA all the way!! You don't see nearly as much on the road as you do DC's. IMO they look better, and the drive is more direct. You can really feel the road through the car, and with this info, you can push harder to the limit, and still know when to let up. There's not as many aftermarket parts for the DA as to the DC, or EG. I just love my DA. Been rebuilding my suspension lately, and gonna drop a newer engine in it soon.

i own a da and my opinion is if you are modding it and you wanna take the easy way out get a dc but if you want to have a 1/2 orignal car get a da and mod it. a da requires some custom fab work to make things work sometimes and the dc is a bolt on affair. keep in mind prices i know out here you will find da's at pick-n pulls meaning you can get parts stupid cheap where as dc is a different story
