I got a 03 type s in SSM just hit 70k basically stock with 04 tl rims on it. i have a possible trade on the table for a 00 honda civic si with a all motor b18c1 (gsr) and all kinds of extras. I love my CL but i am torn on this decision. What would u guys do.

Even though those are my favorite civics ever made, I'd still keep the CL especially if its a 6 speed. Low mileage, less theft issues, classier look.

The GSR has a lot of potential, but I'd stick with the CL. Keep it reliable and fun at the same time...Especially if you have the 6 speed.

I'd keep the CL because I couldn't see myself in a Civic.

Keep the CL. If someone that has a supposedly built GSR in a Civic wants to trade for a slower CL, something isnt right.

I would never trade for a car that was built by someone else.

Is your CL a 6MT?

to your first comment what i will say is that maybe the civic owner is looking at it from our perspective. he has a built civic but wants to move up to a newer more grown type of car. there may be nothing wrong with the car. to your second point, i completely agree i would never buy a car built by someone else you will never truly know how the car is. he probably beat the shit out of it and now is passing it off you him. to me buying a car built by someone else is like watching someone fuck a girl then you jump in where he left off. but thats just my opinion. i only buy bone stock cars.

To the OP why in the world would you want to downgrade? my stance on trading cars has always been if im getting rid of my car its because im getting something better than what i currently have otherwise i might as well keep what i got.
