Default oh my beloved trunk space

i found a great deal on a sweet gsr (except that it's green and the valve cover says "Kristin's GSR) but i'm really having a tough time with the idea of giving up all the trunk space my accord has. any input? i have a 94 accord coupe and i'm always loading my mtn bike in there and carrying too much **** around in general. am i going to be pissed at myself for giving up the accord in the long run, or is the gsr really worth the hassel? right now i can fit my mountain bike, my 12" sub, my tool box, and my big bag of all my riding gear into the trunk with the back seat up and the lid closed. nobody knows there's $1500 worth of **** in there. and i still have room for groceries and other small stuff! but the accord just isn't as fast and doesn't handle nearly as well as the gsr. should i just lower my accord and deal with it being slow or should i jump ship and go for this girlie gsr? (and yes i know valve covers are cheap) total cost of selling my car and buying the gsr should be aroiund $500 - $1000 net (not including tax)

Note that the backseats easily fold down and give plenty of room to haul just about anything you would need. At one point I managed to stuff every item I owned into my Integra.

if u want to haul *** and get pulled over every day, go ahead, get the GSR, but if you are content and happy with the reliable, yet slow accord..(its not that slow if you are the only one driving with the AC off) anyway, personally, the integra is LOUDER, rides rougher, noiser, more tendancy to break, more maintence, the accord is a reliable daily for the mile mannered person who is not into racing everyone, but who am i to say....**** a GSR, i wanted one of those when i was 16 man, 24, im happy toolin in the accord

I really think youd have enough room im the gsr if you folded the seats down... The trunks arent as small as they look.

I have more space in my hatch w/fold down seats than my wife's old Grand Prix. There's room, but you become a 2 seater. Usually when you're hauling something that big, you don't have a car load of people anyway.

get the GSR homie! Paint the gay valve cover yourself! when you fold down the back seats the integra is like a small flat bed truck. i have fit so much **** in mine that the trunk/backseats of my other sedan could never have room for.

You can easily haull ten dead bodies in the "trunk" There's a lot of room.

Hatchbacks are very roomy(cargo space wise). I've had numerous mtn bike trips with my last teg--I could fit 2 bikes in the back with all the gear, etc. If you're that worried, get a bike rack (~$80). 94 Accord vs GSR should be a no-brainer.

i have a 94 accord and a gsr and i think the gsr is 100x better for space.i just moved and i put most of the big things in my integra. the hatch is great..with the seats folded down there is alot of space. with the accord the seats fold down but they have that gay hole that u have to put stuff thru and u cant fit big things in the trunk opening.
