Default New to the CRX sceen.....What to get

I'm finally ready to go and buy my first car. Recently the CRX has caught my attetion, I think it'll be a great car to own. My only problem is that I know nothinging about CRX's.
What CRX should I get? Keep in mind that I dont have tons of money to throw around and would, at most, like to spend about $2.5. Let me know what you suggest.

what are you planning on doing with the car, if its stictly for racing. get a DX or an HF. if you want more of just a every day car, go with the Si, its a little quicker than the DX, has a sunroof and its a big more fancy...

Get an SI model, any year. But the 90-91s have rear discs. Try for one that hasnt been wrecked. Mileage doesnt matter on these cars. You should be able to pick up a nice crx si for 2500.
Id get one thats somewhat modded, cause thats just less you have to do/spend. But some people dont like modded cars, cause chance of mistreated.
And dont settle for less

The Si model hands down! They dyno @ 100hp stock which means Honda underated the engine. Their quicker and nicer than the other models plus they come with a sunroof and like dude said the 90-91 Si have disc brakes at all for corners. So basicly their faster, more comfortable, and the stop faster. IT'S JUST AN ALL AROUND KICK *** CAR!!!!

Ya si's are sweet, they are pretty quick stock, fun to drive, easy to work on, and easy to mod . The ac works great! and the sunroof is nice. Mine is an 89 and dosn't have rear disc brakes but that dosn't realy matter. I got mine for 3,200 w/ 125000 miles. and had most of the stuff below (looks new)
