Ive owned each and I always like the hatch better. You can get them to handle the same really it depends on how you set it up. If you dont ever plan on having more then one other person in the car with you the crx would be nice. As far as the weight I belive they are just about the same.

My crx didn't have as many damned creeks and squeaks as my hatch

But, the hatchback is much more reasonable.

I like the hatchback better, for the simple fact that its more comfortable.. Espically for roadtrips.

I own both. The Hatch is a smoother ride as to the crx, where it feels like your on the track. The crx will always be top on the list in my mind. It's your call, get what you want.

i loved CRXs but i got a hatch because... they are easier to find, they are nicer looking (IMO), and you can take more people in them. i just needed more space for people in my car so the hatch was my choice.

well the crx will handle better, its lighter, and def looks better. ive owned both and was much happier with the rex. the only thing nice about hatches are there easier to come by cause there not sought after as much as crxs.

I think the only way it would be "lighter" is if you gutted it. On the title for the car it will say "WT - L - BHP" (or somthing like that) what is the number in there on the crx.

i say get a crx.... i think it has advantages over the hatch except for the fact that it is much smaller.... but yea if you're lookin for something roomy then get a hatch.. but still get whichever one you like better...

I don't really trust humans much these days. fact of the matter is i trust my EF hatch more then i trust a human... nothing like that hatch love i'll tell you... but it can't be just any hatch... its gotta be an EF... yup thats the only hatch for me... they make great companions and even worst enemys... its all in how you take it.

crx is lighter in very model and every year. the only reason i dont liek the civic is i prefer a smaller car. i like when im driving i can see that the hatch is right behind me. when i drove the civic around i felt like i was in a wagon.

The CRX is more of a sportscar, plus there's a standard electric sunroof. At least over here it does.

But remember that you can't get 4 adults in a CRX without getting into a fight... But you can get 4 adults in a Civic.

I like the CRX so I have an excuse to not take people along in my car: it doesn't fit Make's me faster at the traffic lights :D

I live about 10-20 miles from you, so I know what you mean with the roads. I have a crx because it just kinda fell in my lap, can't pass up a crx for $500. And the fact it's an 88 si made it even sweeter. Now if we can just do something about the rednecks that drive 20 mph down fun roads.
