Good choice Polemicist
I've always loved the CRX myself. The same as the Civic, but with a coupe-esk back.

Even the simple steel wheels look good on that CR-X; less-is-more!

I appreciate Honda were trying to cast off the "driven by oldies" image of the old Civic, but I thought it was acknowledged that they went a step too far with the current design. Even my mother, a multiple Civic owner, couldn't come to terms with it and went instead for an Auris over 3 years ago.

I don't know what happened to Civic sales comparing the current model with the old, but I assumed they fell, net of any economic downturn. Perhaps they didn't, hence their decision to stick with a similar design ...

They do suit the cars overall look very well.

It's funny because I always cringe when I see a a body kitted up CRX, it doesn't need anything like that on it, and in a way seems such a shame to ruin a nice looking car.

Nah, 17" look better. Even though they spoilt the drivability something rotten. I was young and stupid then.

I remember them. Things have changed a lot in the modding world.

The CRX was lowered on a set of Tokico progressives that i bought from TDI for about £300 odd. That was back in the day when jap cars were just getting interest. That car turned heads just because most people didn't know what they were.

I still wish i had it now.

Those are horrid - I bet the ride quality was, erm "interesting"

Still wish I had mine, sort of. It was a fab little car.

Will Seb be buying you all one of these when he wins the championship?
