Also for handling DXs (CRX or Hatch shouldn't matter) actually have stiffer chassis because ALL Sis came with sunroofs which adds weight right on top of the car (higher center of gravity) and also makes their bodys less stiff.

i think what i'll need to do is just find people around here who are selling a CRX or a hatch, and take them for a test drive and see how they handle. too bad it's the dead middle of winter and a day doesn't go by without it snowing here. do you think $2000 is a little high to be asking for this "1991 Honda CRX, California car, no rust ever, 150kmi, AC, 5spd, runs & drives super"
Also, in your guys opinions, is it better to have an auto tranny or a manual? I lean more towards the manual, but I found a hatch for $850, but it's an auto.

I kind of figured I would get a responce like that when I mentioned the word "auto".
A funny thing happened today at work. I pulled into the parking lot after my morning class and I see a CRX which has never been there before. I ask around and finally figure out who owns it. I talk with him and he says he loves driving it. Then I go online and look at some of the ads and he points out that he just bought the CRX from one of the ads I was looking at. So there goes one of my options. From all the things he said, it sounds like I'll be going with a CRX unless I get some mad crazy deal on a regular hatch.
The only thing I'm kind of concerned about is it being tail happy. Does anyone know the weight distribution numbers on the CRX?
