what kind of shape is the body/interior on your hatch in? Do you have any of the notorious Honda rust yet? If the body is in good shape, I'd say keep the hatch, but if its not, get the GSR

ok heres a view from someone who had a coupe before and still has a hatch now but drives a GSR

depends on what you want
if you want outright speed and cheaper insurance then stay with the hatch
if you want a car that feels safer, rides better, and you love driving get the GSR

i drive the gsr now, im happy with the way it feels safer and overall quality...imo they spent more time making the integ then civic

but insurance is higher now
but i love it!

i'd say stick with the civic. you can always make the suspension sexy and it could out handle a teg any day of the year.

IT also depends on your situation. I don't have the time to do a swap (I only have one car). If you have another car or the resources to get around w/o your daily driver, I'd do the swap. However, in my situation, I'd rather have the GSR. I agree about the saftey thing, and overall, I just think they're a little more refined. It's ultimately your decsion, though.
