Just as a personal preferance i dont' really like the older body style's of the accord's. But i've had a friend that had an accord and another friend that had a CRX. They both loved them and i always was amazed at how fast that little engine could get that CRX scootin'.
Your call though, me...i'd probably take the CRX but then like he said, that rear seat is usefull every so often.
