Your opinion: are CRX's ugly?

I'm curious: why do so many people think that CRX's are ugly? Granted, the look is a bit dated and it's certainly different from other cars of its time, but I think the unique look is part of the attraction to the car. Everyone I talk to thinks it looks like a pile of shit. Most people probably buy CRX's becuase of 1) Lack of funds for a newer car, or 2) Its potential for performance. I know this is a bit of weird thread, but what do you guys think? Cult classic? Shit on wheels? Fast but ugly?

I think I wish I could find a CRX around here. I've been looking for a 90-91 in in good condition in the area for nearly a year.

i love them and think they look so sweet!

i had 2. really dont car for the way the back looks.
i think with a nice body kit and wing they can look very good. but i had them because they are very light and can be made very fast.
now im more of the hatch type now.

Ok........RICER! A wing and a body KIT! :loser:


*I think they dont need 5 windows, but they are ok!*

my 2 cents

I dont kno why people dont like them. I like them because there almost like if you like hondas its something you got to have owner.

I guess because the model was only made for a small amount of time people try to get there hands on them, but most people prolly dont like them because the design is older and hatchback type cars arent really something people favor I guess.

I dont know but CRXs' ROCK!!!!

beautiful and out spoken cars

i dunno i luv the way the crx looks. also the potential to be fast as well as handle outstandingly. i personaly have owned and built several crx's and have found them along with other 4g's to be easily built, and IMO obd0 rocks! IMO its gonna be a classic

hatchback type cars arent really something people favor I guess.

I agree. I don't know why, though. The general populous has no automotive taste!

I have a 91 Hatch. And I love it. The only thing I dont like is that it sorta resembles a shoe, and all those damn windows. When my car is running good, I would take a hatch over a crx. But as soon as it messes up, i love crxs. I know it doesnt have anything to do with which model, but somehow it affects which body i like more.

I agree. I don't know why, though. The general populous has no automotive taste!

Cool someone understood what i was trying to say. I dunno people today are all about sedans, coupes, or trucks. No hatches. Oh and mini vans and suv's

i have never, ever heard anyone say crx's are ugly, i've heard slow, rust buckets, tin cans, girl cars ect.

no one has ever said a mint condition crx doesn't look nice to me.
the look is timeless. like a 442 or a mustang cobra, they will always stick out to me as the 'classic' honda. civic renissance- model X

I always thought they were cool looking hatch back cars. Its got a fastback design..its round for the era..its my fav fwd car for its style,light weight, awesome handling, gas mileage. Ive heard girly car..import crap..but the only dude that had nuts to call it ugly had a 72 cougar...fricken grill like a peterbuilt..fugly ass car and dude called my car ugly.lmao

Ok........RICER! A wing and a body KIT! :loser:

my 2 cents
that makes me a ricer how. you should think before talking.

i thought i liked my hatch more than crx's but when i got one i love the rex more than my hatch now, personally i think they look the best slammed on some 5 star gsr's

there was a member here i forget his name but he had a silver one dropped on the 5 stars and it looked so good it doesent even need a kit the flush mount wing looks good also

'rexs didn't get ugly until the 3rd gen Del Slow - yuck :(

Cool someone understood what i was trying to say. I dunno people today are all about sedans, coupes, or trucks. No hatches. Oh and mini vans and suv's

I guess you don't pay attention to the VW croud? The RSX is a hatch back. So are all of the integras, besides for the sedans. The new civic Si is a hatch. Supra's are hatches. There are lots of cars that still have hatchbacks man. They just don't always look like a civic.

I dunno how appealing they are to me.. I don't really care too much for the way they look. Thats why I went with the hatch.

Most CRXs = Ugly to me..

What is this ricer crap u talkin about m8, a guy puts a wing n a bodykit n the next thing u gon call him is a ricer, i personally think u could make ur car look however u want as long as its 2 ur taste. Men, cut the ricer rubbish,

I think rexes are beautiful n unique, light n quite fast for it age. I have taken ppl in my crx n they always compliment the spped of the car but never once said its ugly.

vw corrado, cabriolet, golf.
all vw's sweetest cars are hatches
all honda's sweetest cars are hatches,
all toyotas sweetest cars are hatches
hatches just have a nicer look to them

Crx R Hella Cool Looking When U Fix It Up And Drop It There Also One Of The Best Drag Cars Because Of So Many Engines U Can Use And The Cars Light Weight My Car Is Only 4ft 3inchs High

rexs are one of my favorite cars, i would buy one but i cant find one in decsent shape, all of them are either rust buckets or riced out, i ve seen some good ones around me but they aren't for sale

well i love this car also, i fell in love with its shape when i first saw it, and when i got inside the first time, i had to own it, everything is perfectly placed as if they built the car around me. the ability to mod this thing to hell and back was another plus.

only bad things said about my crx were that it looked like a matchbox car.

I guess you don't pay attention to the VW croud? The RSX is a hatch back. So are . Supra's of the integras, besides for the sedans. The new civic allSi is a hatchare hatches. There are lots of cars that still have hatchbacks man. They just don't always look like a civic.


I believe im into hondas, a member of a honda forum, why the hell would i be interested in VW's. And another think i said new cars, and i dont believe they make a 2004 Supra???

I think the CRX looks awesome. Couldn't get one though because my parents said the car had to at least have 4 seats. I have had my hatch for 3 years, and would trade it for nothing (except a CRX or hatch in better condition). I'm just glad Honda named the Del Sol as it was, instead of giving it the CRX designation. As for the rice discussion....who cares....if you wanna laugh at someone for having a body kit and a wing go for it.....because there are people that are going to laugh at others for spending $$$ on a JDM front end (or basically any mod you choose to do). Heck, alot of people (who arent into cars) wonder why most people mod a car in the first place.

all honda's sweetest cars are hatches


S2000? Unless you count Spoon's new fastback hardtop, which would technically make it a hatch.

rexs are one of my favorite cars, i would buy one but i cant find one in decsent shape, all of them are either rust buckets or riced out, i ve seen some good ones around me but they aren't for sale

No kidding. I've been looking for four months, and still haven't found a decent one. The ones that ARE in good shape are way out of my price range; I found a beautiful red HF the other day that had had offers as high as $9500. Quite frustrating.

only bad things said about my crx were that it looked like a matchbox car.

Aside from 'ugly,' I've also heard "It looks a freaking go-kart." That's supposed to be an insult, but considering that it handles like one, I'd say 'go-kart' is a fairly accurate description.
Also, sorry about the multiple posts. I can't figure out how to include all quoted phrases into a single new post. Any help?

vw corrado, cabriolet, golf.


just 2 let u know, older cabrios arent exactly hatchbacks,
they have a little like 2 foot by 3 and 1/2 foot door that opens on the back, i wouldnt classify it as a hatch exactly

I just bought a 91' CRX there nothing else I'd rather have. I have a 93 civic things a piece compared to the CRX.

I used to have a '90 CRX Si, red. Great gas mileage, decent performance for stock. I just sold it 2 years ago, and it was a rare one that was rust free. Only couple rock chips in hood and couple small door dings, but no rust around the rear wheel openings. Interior was perfect shape. But, I spent more money repairing the mechanics on that things than any of my 6 other GM cars I've had combined. 2 distributers, igniter, coil, wheel bearings, clutch, 3 sets of axles, which I found out after I sold it to a friend for $2k, that the diff was busted. Plus the maintenance itemsA month after I sold to him the diff locked up pulling into his driveway. I had a spare engine and trans that I gave to him. He fixed it, then about a month after that he came out of the mall, and found it underneath an S10 blazer. I guess it was raining, and 2 ladies, one in an Astro and one in an Expedition were going to fast, hit each other, and pushed his CRX under the blazer. Insurance gave him $3700 for it, after he just bought it a couple months earlier from me for $2k. Either way, if I could find another one in as good exterior condition as the one I had I would buy it and swap the motor of course.

From what I hear, it's pretty rare to have lots of mechanical problems with a CRX. Most of the time, they're worry-free as long as they're well-maintained. It is a Honda, after all.

i've had nothing but regular wear and tear things go on my rex. plus the radiatior. which was only 200 bucks (cnd) and a little elbow greese anyway. other than that its just been tires and the battery, a few hoses busted. there so cheap to run, insure and so reliable, best car i ever owned

all i got to say is that the rex is the best first car anybody can buy.I love my 91' hf.I got mine for 1600.i;ll post some pics of it when its out of the shop.

I love the CRX...My b/f has a 90 CRX DX and tryin to find me one too but its hard to find one in Ohio thats in good shape and for a good price!

personally, i think that the crx is awesome. I think that it has very contemporary lines that make it look less like a fourteen-year old design, and more like a current model. I love the lines of the hood and fenders, and I don't even mind the flat rear deck. It handles great, it's super light, it's easy to insure, and it's good on gas, what else can anyone want? In my opinion, anyone who clowns on the CRX is just jealous that they don't have one, and that they're driving some POS domestic!!

Any chance I can get one of those? It'd make the college commute a lot more interesting. :evillol:

I forgot to add..most girls love the crx and most girls didnt like my hb...but what do girls know right j/k

i think the crx is an awesom car and the hatch is great as well, i own an 88 dx hatch and it is the best handling car i have ever owned, it will be one of the fastest i have owned once it gets the b18b swap done to it with it's jackson racing supercharger it will blow suv's and truck out of the water

Is a CRX ugly? Hum??! IN a word! NO.,.,

i love my rex b/c it is a street legal go-cart

i would say my love of hatchbacks borderlines on fetish haha i dunno why but hatchs are the best and crx's are freakin amazing i just wish mine wasnt a hf but it will be a zc-hf soon enough but crxs look really good as does any hatch everyone that disagrees is stupid

Ok nobody flame me but I think stock CRX's are ugly. Only body kits I like are the Wings West and the Black Widow (Which i'll be ordering soon). I think they're good being light and everything and totally versatile. I just dont like the stock look, if it wasnt for the flat back on the rear of the vehicle, ALOT of people would like them... Hell my mom thinks its ugly cuz of that, my best friend, hmm who else ? >.< sucks but once i get the kit, its like bling blingin with my 17's BAGGED!!!! ;)

I love the CRX...My b/f has a 90 CRX DX and tryin to find me one too but its hard to find one in Ohio thats in good shape and for a good price!

whatever you do dont go to mikes motors haha seems like he has good deals but he will get you or maybe i am just retarted check the post i got ripped please help damn ohio bastards

also girlsrace2 where in central ohio are you i am in westerville

Any chance I can get one of those? It'd make the college commute a lot more interesting. :evillol:
Actually, you can build one of them yourselves. Theres an online site located in Australia that makes them, they put them on gokarts and everything else, they run on propane tanks, it didnt look too complicated to setup, looks like a big ass exhaust system though. They have kits for sale too.

Ahh found the link, here we go http://www.aardvark.co.nz/pjet/

ur crazy.:screwy: i dont mean to flame but dont flame me for not like'n that look ur goin for.

I'm not big on 17's either, especially on a CRX, but to each his own.

Somne CRX's I see look awful and others I see look great. For me it is on a case by case basis. crx91 your rex looks great...love the color and the rims.

Any proof thats real? Seems like yet another so called "Jet-car" which has the windows up, so no airflow to actually run into the jet.
