Honestly those are 2 totally different cars...the accord is more luxury and comfort compared to the crx. I would honestly say the accord mainly because they look better and are comfortable.

Again 2 totally different cars. The crx is lightweight and has low power (hp and tq) in stock form...nothing a swap or turbo can't fix. The accord is heavier and has some decent power AND torque in stock form. It will basically come down to what style and what purpose you are looking for.

For track/autox events a crx would be my choice as they are light and can accept almost any engine (k-series, d series turbo, b-series etc) whereas the accord really its the f22 or h22 (again turbo is an option as well). In the aftermarket realm both have a lot of parts but I am coming to find the 5th gen accord has a little more availability than the crx.

i have a 1996 honda accord this is my second one.The first one i had was totaled (R.I.P.) thanks to a 11 year old dumb ***!!! We'll anyway it's all about what u like. After someone talked me into buying a honda i will never go wrong. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DOMESTIC AS LONG AS I LIVE!!! CRX's they are nice but my friend had one man!!! It had some get up and go power but them damn things are too small for me, it's like ridin in a go-cart.

Yea, go with the accord. Swap an h22 in it and boost it.

CRX = Light but no HP. The same money you invest in a CRX to boost it you can invest into an Accord. Just keep the power-to-weight ratio up there and you can drive a tank. I'm in the Marines, and I've seen tanks fly, imagine getting passed by a tank on the highway... (Tank is just a funny example.)
