GSR is factory reliable...if the ls-vtec is well done it can be as reliable too....the hatch will definaly be faster ..but my two cents go for the teggy....

i like the idea of ls v-tec but i would definitely make sure it was done right, and i love hatches but my del sol has a gsr with high comp pistons and i just freaking love it.

test drive both and look at both really good to make sure there is no rust or nething. and whatever drives better and doesnt have rust go with that one. if the teggy has rust stay away from it unless ur going to fix it and i dont mean plan on fixing it. if the hatch has no rust and runs good than buy the hatch. if u lived by me i would say get the gsr and get a good alarm. i have seen way too many hatches stolen by me.
