If you're in a good spot financially to do it, I'd say there's no question. My 10th gen Si was going to be my "10 year car" but I was fortunate enough to be able to change that a few months ago. The Si is a fantastic car, but the shortcomings it does have would have always had me wondering about the other car. I had my eye on 27won's drop-in turbo as well as a flywheel replacement to address my two biggest gripes - unsatisfying redline and maddeningly slow rev dropping - but the R has all of that solved and more from the factory. It gets about 75% of the fuel economy in my experience, which is a fine trade-off. I haven't hit the dreaded tire expiration yet, but I think there are some recommendations on here for longer-lasting tires that will fit the wheels, which is great because the wheels are one of my favorite parts of the car.
