if you love your car keep your car...simple...if you still want it keep it...if you dont swap it...but make sure his car is as good and as reliable...

Pretty much what Amish said!
If you were bored with you car then it'd be an easy choice.
Maybe swap cars for a couple of days as a test, and you'll find out if your rattles and squeaks are worse or better than his rattles and squeaks ;)

Considering that the S14's are at least 10 years old, I would be very wary of the swap. Take in Kilometre's, condition of motor/ rest of the car before making such a swap..
Myself, I would keep the SP20, but who am I kidding, Im going back to a Gemini Soon :p

Power aside, i don't particularly like the look of the s14, especially over your sp20, but it is a coupe rwd boy racer'esque machine. Dunno how many people you ferry either, but you got hatch space, and 4 doors and 5 full seats. Not as eye catching (your sp20) for the boys in blue either unless you like that, and theft/insurance, petrol... my lord, listen to myself... this is how i talked myself out of an rx7 series 8 ;)
You'll always wonder if it's greener on the the other side so yeah, try it out, or reconsider what you find important, or if you're just bored as rupe said.
