[KT_haha]

Here it is again :D

Sportivo VS Type S For those of you that missed it

[CORZZA]

thanks bro!!! been waiting for this!

Hi there, since you are considering the TypeS i guess you have the dosh to spend so why not the TypeS? Who would give it up for the Stivo if we have the money to spend on it? Also depends what you want to use the car for man. If you want a sporty but spacious 4 door hatch that drives like a "Corolla" untill you push its limits, get the Stivo. If you want a very capable sporty coupe with the DC2 Integra TypeR's blood and legendary status, get the TypeS. It might not be a TypeR but it is still a bloody great car in many aspects.

A few points to add though,

1) Stivo is cheaper, hence more money for mods.

2) Cheaper insurance for "Corolla"

3) Straight line speed damn close, (in the vid TypeS has 1 additional passenger and "muffler" mod), but in the bends TypeS wins hands down.

4) The newer DC5 integra's suspension is difficult to tune. Many famous tuners including SPOON have difficulty, and recommend the stock ride height when tuning its suspension, has something to do with the DC5's suspension structure.

IMO if i have dosh i will obviously get TypeS but the Stivo is hard to beat in terms of BFYB but again its very subjective, what is "Bang" to you will be different to me? The TypeS is still a great alternative to the legendary DC2 Integra TypeR though ;)

well put!

Yeah the reason why i had considered the corolla sportivo door was i saw one with the whole trd kit and it looked like a nice ride i heard it rev up down the road and it sounded nice and looked like a nice going car,

ive been a honda fan for a long time and its hard to pass up the new type S

[buck naked]

If you can afford the Type-S and can live without the four doors, I think it's an easy call.

[meow4corollas]

i can afford the type S quite easily, i just loved the look of the TRD kit

[buck naked]

Handling wise the Corolla is a big step back, and there is a smaller aftermarket for the 2ZZ as well.

I'm sure there are plenty more bodykits available for the Honda's. Have you seen the Mugen kit? It's very nice as well.

[CORZZA]

one thing i msy say is the sportivo sounds awsome at high revs!

[Azza]

I prefer Sportivo (obviouly, I bought one) but I do believe that bothe the Type R and Type S have a nice aggressive stance...

BTW: KT - I like the avatar mate :)

[CORZZA]

honda, toyota you wont go wrong with any of them its just your preference!

[KT_haha]

Thanks buddy....

I would have bought the Type S if I had the money

[meow4corollas]

yeah im gonna test drive them both. Personal preference in styling i have to say i love the look of the Honda and the toyota ill see which i prefer when i test drive them.

[CORZZA]

we ll keep us posted on your choice and definatly pics!!!

[xGSiR]

Just went on a Honda cruise tonight, was in my friend's DC5R. A very nice sports car indeed :)

But the Sportivo is just as cool, performance won't let you down i reckon. Won't be much of a problem to get a decent suspension setup going on the Corolla.

[CORZZA]

True that as i found out! plenty of good suspension kits for the rolla!

["RuNx"]

TOYOTA...................ALL THE WAY BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!

NO HONDAS HERE!!!!! :P :P :P

[BanGn]

Go for the type S, access to part is easy, and cheaper than sportivos, i got a set of d2 coilovers for 1k, u can get teins for that price for the RSX.

Quality wise, the type S ****s al over the Sportivo, and handling wise goes to the type S, hard to get it to understeer, wheels dont lite up like sportivos on corners and is very well tuned...

However, id still take my sportivo over the type S coz my beast beat it ;) Ill see how the coilovers n semis go againt ths S sometime soon

[CORZZA]

0-100 for sportivo?

0-100 for Type S?

[MR22ZZ]

I bought the stivo solely on the fact it is the ONLY car in it's class with 5 doors... all others are 3 door, I tested a whole heap of cars when I bought too and the Type S, Citroen Xsara and Stivo were the only ones I would buy of the lot... though the Xsara is now superseeded by the C4 which is also an awesome machine...
