Default Which new age models have DCCD?

I'm sorry, I know this will have been asked loads of times, but a search brought back loads of random stuff that didn't really help me.

I know it's the STi cars that have it, but I don't know which ones. Could someone help me out with some info?

Thanks,
Jay

Earliest UK car to get DCCD was the WR1 which is a MY04

Don't see much written about the WR1, is it not rated by the real enthusiasts?

WR1 didn't have the wider track setup IIRC, so the 05 is the better bet !

It's not likely to get much of a mention here as it's not a jdm.

wider track version is a better bet as it has the newer interior also.
the wr1 is the same as the 04 sti with a dccd fitted and slight power upgrade.
the colour is awful (just my opinion of course) and it has foglights rather than covers which dont suit the blobeye.

i will be going without DCCD then as my budget is a max of about £4.5k which really only leaves me Bug Eyes or over 100k miler Blobs in STi form.

Haven't seen any JDM cars for sale yet this week (from a garage).

i have had cars with dccd and without and dont miss it when i have had cars without.
in regard to widetrack i think the track was more to do with strengthing the hubs as opposed to handling.

I find my my05 jdm with dccd tends to oversteer when pushed even in auto where my old uk car tended to understeer. Might also be down to front diff though.

I found that coming from a non dccd car but soon realised if you keep your foot planted it straightens itself out : D
