Well I've owned my hatch for a little under a year now. No serious problems other then what you would expect from a 16 year old car. Its a 90 Si and I was really into it just until recently. I am boosting my d16a6 and then sometime by the fall I either want an obd1 d16z6 swap, dohc zc swap, or LS swap. Plan on autocrossing this summer as well.

I kind of want to trade/sell it and go for a crx. Mostly because of looks I would say, crx's just look so sweet. Anyone ever been there? Like rex's better? Like hatches better? Have reasons? Any advantages to one or the other? Let me know... what would you rather drive?

 

hatches have a longer wheel base

 

crx all the way and dont look back lol

 

bump for more opinions

 

this went indepth before. I THINK someone said a hatch was better for autox b/c of the wheel base but i could be way off. The crx is lighter but not by much,Oh yeah hatches are better

 

yeah but crx's are better looking

 

well, I own a crx SI, and I think the crx looks better

thats strage, i have a hatch, think the rex looks better, and would rather have only 1 other passenger. ill trade ya

 

im with you on that. i hate giving people rides

 

if you are going to turbo an engine and autox you want a hatch
turboed hatch=sm
turboed crx = sm2
you might have a change in sm, you have no chance in hell in sm2. not that it matters because either way autox is fun as hell.

 

well yeah, I hate to give rides too lol

it also depends,,,,,,

it depends, for me, USDM, the hatch looks better, and the JDM crx looks better than the JDM hatch

 

wrap around bumper lights are sexier than fat women in spandex

 

yeah today i pictured my hatch white, jdm front, with some rota gt3s red with chrome lip... yeah i'd rock rotas. or mugen mr5s... if i win the lotto that is.

 

i like the crx bumper personaly

 

i would rock one of these bumpers second to a jdm front.....

 

I always viewed the CRX as a chick car kinda like the MX3 Precidia or a Miata. Just not my style hatch's all the way. You can't beat the functionality of the hatch either.

 

you guys are making me want to keep my hatch

 

I like um both but I own a CRX and I always wanted a 2 seater.

 

crx. definitely. not a fan of EF hatches...EG's and EK's is another story

 

Hmmm... well i have had two hatchies and was considering buying a CRX but i dunno i just love the hatchback style... so i went and bought a 1990 Si hatchback. So in my opinion i would stay with your hatchie and dont giv it up...


Hatchbacks

 

There are a lot more hatches out there, if you're into looks and being rare, the CRX is better. About the passengers, I like having the CRX because my friends never want to borrow it, it's useless to carry people, and they think you can't fit much in the back either. Talk to anyone who's sold a CRX and doesn't have one, they regret it. If it puts you in a higher class in AutoX, it means it's a better car. I wouldn't say buy a Buick so you are in a less competitive class, the classes are in place to make it more or less fair to everyone. Plus, the CRX dash/console is so sexy... I love my rusty squeaky CRX, wouldn't trade it for 2 pristine hatches.

 

I've owned both as like many of you and the CRX is the way to go. For some reason the civic hatch was kinda cheap looking exteriour and interiour wise. I didn't like that thing that much, but loved my CRX. The hatch was an SI and the CRX was an HF.

When I get my next EF it WILL be a CRX for sure. No exceptions.

 

i have both and I am keeping both....lol

 

i owned a 90 civic hatch si and now i have a 90 crx dx completley converted to an si (except for sunroof) and personaly i like the crx more but if i had the extra money and space i would deffinitly rock a crx and hatch im kinda mutual but as long as i only have money and room for one ill keep the crx

 

i sold my crx and i miss it oh so much. i would like to own another but also the hatch does look good
