The coefficient of drag for the hatchbacks is right around .33.
For reference, my RX-7 comes in at ~.30 (.29 if some of the original aero parts didn't rust off,) and the Honda Insight comes in at .25. A Miata, with the top down, is around .38.
All in all, the EF body cars have decent aerodynamics.
Is the CRX better? I used to know the spec. Is it .30 for the Si and the HF is .29?
Also what exactly is the drag coefficent?
