Mmmm not sure if I'd buy another - I loved mine, and do miss that engine. Maybe if they drop in price a little more I'd get another as a 2nd/track car.
How are you managing to get 230miles per tank?

Not sure, think the carpets jammed under the loud pedal
I do give it some wherever possible, so quite pleased with the MPG, which was the main aim of selling the STi.

Virtually every owner I have met has had syncro issues, my brothers completely went at 18000 miles.
I would say that aint good, at least the Elise parts are cheap.
I wouldnt say it is prehistoric either, the chassis is arguable the best to date!!!

Don't get me wrong I love the DC2, and from my experince as expensive to run as an Elise if not more, Im actually looking for one at present, for a sensible car for Lou to learn to drive in.

How many miles has your car done?
If you drive the DC2 to the limit in 3rd and ****** 4th very quickly, or 4th into 5th you can hear a slightly crunchy noise if you can hear that the syncro will go.
AFAIK there is no set time for them to start making a noise, and a lot of it will be to do with the driver, my brothers started crunching again after 40000miles.
I think the EP3's and DC5's have better syncros, althou Ive heard of them crunching.
