I say go for it. You have a clean car and with a little extra money that car would be as nice if not nicer than the car you are driving with a swap already done. but who am I to say its your car.

I would say yes, but i would have to drive it before i traded. You dont want to trade your car for another with a lot of problems.

Keep your car. The other one isn't even SI. Your car is newer and looks way better. I've owned both and love the newer hatchie. The old eggshell is great too, but just getting to old. Just save up and swap or turbo. Good luck.
