Well... I've often wondered if I would rather have a hatchback over my coupe. And I've realized the answer is yes because of the ease of use. But that's just me. I don't like stuffing in my back seat when it would be easier to lay it in though the hatch.
Granted the CRX doesn't have hardly any room in back, but I think it just comes down to what you would be happier with. I assume they both get similar gas mileage results, so.... do what cha gotta do bro.
