What car would you trade the Gk5 for?
Trade it or keep it?
I am at a crossroad of what to do trade this car. I like the practicality of the car roominess but the ride is a bit boring for me and there's no engine/gearbox upgrades to spice it up, that's available, plus it might be expensive.The K20/ LB15B7 is years away. I like the Gr86 rwd goodness but you lose that practicality.Should i go for it? I only have 1 child so it might work.Should i keep it and have 2 cars one for play and one daily?
How about you guys, what car do you fancy trading the GK5 for?

If there was a Civic Si hatch, it would be fantastic. I have a 2018 Si sedan, and I hate the lack of cargo space- but the car is better in almost every respect. The only other unfortunate thing is that it's a more insulated driving feel.
Despite that, more power, more grip in the turns, factory LSD, better brakes, more stability with the longer wheelbase, and the factory suspension is better than the HFP upgrade for the Fit. Yes, rear drive would be better, but I definitely need four doors, and I'm not willing to give up the manual by switching to a GS350 or similar.
I would say get a Civic hatch, but for some reason the rods are known to be weaker than those in the sedan/coupe engines. Makes no sense that they would use a different part, but on the Civic forum there are more blown engines on the hatch. If you don't tune the car though, it will be fine long term.
