'05 Euro-R vs '05 Inspire Type-S ... Which one?!

Sup fellaz ... I need some feedback:

My little bro is about to get his license and needs a car. Rather than my parents buying a new one for him, they are considering giving him my 2005 Merc C230 and buying me another car. This would be for the Cayman Islands so JDM is not a problem! I have been looking around and have narrowed it down to 2 potential candidates: A 2005 Honda Accord Euro-R and a 2005 Honda Inspire Type-S. I know that everyone knows what the Euro-R is all about, but the Inspire may not be so familiar. Basically, it is the USDM Accord exterior with the USDM TSX interior and the 3.0 V6. The car will essentially be my summer / Christmas car when I am at home so I am torn between sport (Euro-R) and sport-luxury (Inspire). There is a $500 difference between the 2. I have a 2006 TSX w/ NAVI in Miami and love the car so what do I do?!

Euro-R:





Inspire Type-S:

Depends Euro R if you want a similar car to what you have.....but if you want a different car for when you are in the Cayman Islands, opt for the Inspyre

Honestly, the Euro-R caught my eye at first, then I sat in the Inspire and was really feeling the TSX cabin with the black'n'red leather stitching. I think imma have to test drive the 2 again and decide quickly for both cars are hot sellers down here!

A kitted Inspire is sick, not sure about the color though. But like Godfather said being on the island I would get a smaller more nimble car, on the island a V6 is not really necessary.

Test drive the Inspire... maybe it doesn't have the same bouncy suspension as the North American Accord...

If the suspension is the same as the NA Accord, then I would have to vote for the Euro R...
