Having a Hatch was one of my wants when I bought the SI....but it wasn't available with the 6 speed.
The SI definitely has the better handling...it feels glued to the road no matter how it's driven.
The problem for me is the stiff suspension is ok with a good back....mine is not.
On the 25 mile ride back when I bought the SI...I was almost ready to turn it back in.
No lower back support....this Hatch has better leather seats with more control over them.
I'll miss the 6 speed, but I still drive my Prelude and Carrera with 5 speeds.
This Hatch has the SI beat on 0-40 easily...silent, but just shoves.
