I say take the altima, i mean...I love crx's i own one, but i dont like the 87 and below crx's Just something about there styling... So just go with the altima for now, and later on i suggest if you really want a crx to buy a 88-91...

That looks like a CRX Si... if it is, and it's in good shape TAKE IT!

You can swap a B16 into it! Even if you don't want a swap, take the CRX anyway! They're getting rarer and rarer!

You'd be a lunatic not to take the CRX, if you don't I will come there and grab the crx then. Altima's have no class, no aftermarket parts, and in my eyes a girls car. The 1st gen crx is such a classic and great racer. Let me know if you want to sell it!!!!!!!!

any car thats an 86 is too old (I THINK) and so is my car but were not talking about that. i say pick the ALTIMA get those 17s from your parents...lower it a bit.....paintjob and you're good to go. i suggest thats all you do to the altima so you can save up for a mint 88-91 CRX.

by the way is you make your altima look similar to that red one.....that would be sick

the age of the car is really not the question i really don't care about how old it is in my opinion if i saw a 91 crx that was pimped i would be like aw thats cool but if i saw a 86 that was mint i would have a much stronger reaction

check for any signs of rust degeneration in the rear suspension area of the CRX. if it looks good, take it. if you can live with a two seater, take the CRX. if you want to be different from the rest, take the CRX. if you want to have a fun ride take the CRX.

What are you going to use your car for? Do you want a tiny nimble fun two seater? Do you want a comfortable practical five seater? Thats all you need to ask yourself to get your answer. Neither is better or worse, they are just very different.

If you will most likely drive the car hard. The CRX is a SCHWEET little ride for sure. Honda's R a blast! Fun to drive, parts are cheap, dismantling yards are O plenty. And more economical in the long run. That Nissan Is a useless fat pig that will bore the life out of ya. Sorry dude, if ya put wheels on that thing you will look like an ***. Anything cosmeticaly done to the NISSAN will look like ya need your head examined! I can just hear the Fart pipe now BAHAAAAAAAAAAA GET THE HONDA & THANK US LATER

Noooooooooooooo, That is rice to the fullest! if you were my kid brother idd slap ya in the head for putting all that plastic on a car. It is not a performance ride and will never be one. Idd take ya to a few Autocross events and you'dd realize how Whacked you are thinking. That VIS Nissan is Shameful

Sup? I owned a 96 altima GXE, there great cars and pretty fast too. If your lookin for a cruzer car that looks decent and aren't gonna do a hole lot of modz then the altima is the way to go, but if ur gonna wanna do engine modz then without a doubt link the crx, there fun quick and u can get **** loads of aftermarket parts for them. Good Luck

Ah yes young brother, A very wise and good choice. We are all very proud of you. My suggestion would be to keep your ears open among the true purests in your area. You will hear through the grapevine all of the great little yards in which to find all the goodies to make your Honda fly. Good luck little man, and keep us posted. 's for life
