GET THAT! I would.
The CL is your car for pimpin and your GSR could be your project car
with great potential. I wanted to get a GSR but ended up getting my CL.
I too miss driving stick shift.
Make sure the car runs good and have it checked out by a mechanic.

I really miss my GS-R. But at the same time I love my CL. Very hard decision.

Keep the CL if that's the case. Soon you will grow out of the GSR and would wish that
you would of kept your CL. GSR's are common, CL's are not. Compare everything about the
two and make a decision.

Well used to track my old one, but here is my list:

CL Pro's
-Decent Looks
-Can fit my 18's
-OK Acceleration
-Awesome interior
-Heated Seats

CL Con's
-No manual
-Crappy Auto
-Poor Gas Mileage
-No Mods worth mentioning
-Heavy

Integra Pro's
-Good looks
-Cheap to maintain
-Manual tranny
-Blast of an engine
-Tons of mods
-They are not common here
-Handles really well
-Fit tons of stuff in the hatch
-33mpg on the highway

Integra Cons
-Small
-No heated Seats
-Less of a luxurycar
-No Big Wheels
-Needs Clutches

Anything to add?

How about comparing year make (95' or 99'), miles, and comfort.
Is your CL paid off? If it is why don't you just save up
and get an engine swap or sell your CL and add the money
saved to get a better car than both of these.

Not as good of ride quality on the integra.

But I still love mine.
But sometimes the ride quality gets annoying, too bouncy and stiff.
