I'm w/ young noob, If you like your car and like the way it handles keep it and do a motor swap. The only other option would be the GSR, it would be the closest to the hatch as far handling. It's hella faster than the Si, my 94 coupe w/ stock LS swap is faster than most if not all stock SI's. And the GSR is way lighter than the Prelude. I only downfall is you would be paying a hella lot more insurance for a GSR then you would for a Civic Hatch HX with a GSR swap, so you do the math.

keep the hx, enjoy the gas mileage and wait till your 18, save up money, and slap a 1.8L in your hx.
