I have both. I prefer the civic because it has a better ride, better performance.

Well, it depends on what year level of GSR... here in the Philippines, if you want a GSR with ABS, you're stuck with the INVECS manu-matic transmission.

The Civic VTi is definitely more useful, and quicker and peppier than either GSR sold here (the ones with manual trannies have the weaker engine, and the ones with the "127" hp engine have automatics). Just don't get an AT, as they aren't as Honda-fuel efficient as the MTs. MTs have good shift action and ergonomics, and are fun cars.

The GSR, though, is a decent cruiser, and a great car to set up. Steering isn't as good as a Civic or a Lynx, but it'll do. Contrary to popular opinion, the back isn't cramped, it's just not built for more than two people... a limitation of the coupe profile, which makes the back seat narrower. I've ridden in that backseat on two to three hour drives to Batangas, and it's more than just liveable... it's relaxing, with just enough legroom for regular people, but possibly not enough headroom for those who are 5'10" and above.

3 hours in the back of a GSR, I wouldn't torture anyone for that long in the back seat. For long drives it's not that bad if you are driving I have taken it on a 5 hour drive from San Francisco to LA several times.

I came out okay... but then again, I'm a typically sized Filipino (5'5" only), so that helped. I'm sure no American sized male could live with that.
