Should I trade my Subaru legacy 2.5 GT for a basic Civic?

The Subaru has blown head gasket and they are both year 98 civic has 140K on it and the subaru has about 150K is this a good idea since there doesn't seem to be much wrong with the civic but the fact that its so much slower when i press the gas. I also don't know what model the civic is but it looks like the most basic type. The trade would be straight out car for car

Take a look at the overall condition of the vehicles and the KBB value for both. Which one is better, and, why would someone trade a good running car for a car that needs work? It does not add up.

I'd keep the Subaru fix the head gasket, than to go down in power and traction to a basic Honda. You won't be happy. Now if it were a Honda SI then I would say you should trade.
