Rex or hatch?

[Kunundrum]

chalk my vote for CRX

[swedish]

hatch for my vote, more seats and (from what i've heard), easier swaps

[amy@af]

i love my hatch! it's simple at first glance...complex should you pay closer attention. when you pop the hood, the valve cover doesn't say v-tec...so people assume it's a d16a6. i giggle when people ask if i have $10 clear corners...and why my sidemarkers are amber (no clear) :hehe:

hatch is more practical for daily driving and crx is more practical for race car. so it depends what you want/need...more room & a back seat...or smaller & lighter?

I was at the junkyard where that CRX I found is at and I got a chance to sit down in it, which was the first time I've ever sat in a rex. It was okay but I've driven a 4th gen hatch, and I think I'll like it better so I think I'm gonna go with a hatch. Anyway you look at it the body will be one of the last things I buy, I'm going to get my engine first and make sure it will be reliable before I put it in anything.

Either way you look at it, they both are chick-magnets :smoka:

4th gen Civic ALL THE WAY! i'd take a CRX, but i love the room in the Hatch, and i actually use my back seat, even though i use it for trunk space, cause my system in in the trunk, it still serve's a purpose!

Thanks!! That really helps. What's a GTS? What car is that?

[mdnnccivicrcr]

GTS is an automotive accessory company, they make headlight covers, taillight covers, and vent guards among other things. Some people call it GTO because they cannot see the last letter is a S (looks like GTO on the products) Next time you see a vehicle with headlight covers, it's a good chance they are GTS

I think GTS is the company's name, not refering to a specific type of car. And there is no Prelude GTS.

My vote was for the hatch but c'mon man, dont give up completely on the 4dr, here are some pics of my car.

[mdnnccivicrcr]

You can get GTS headlight covers for the 4th gen Civic, I was offered a set for my car (90 Civic Sedan) for $5 but I had just put clear corners on so I wanted to show them off.

Go with the CRX, that's what I am currently planning on getting at the moment. That Mugen Flared kit is what made me fall in love with the CRX's. Once I get the Rex, I'm going to decide whether to get the Flared Mugen kit or a Blitz kit so it will match my friends Eclipse.

[SkyNex721]

The CRX is lighter then the Hatch. That's a given. It's just comes down to personal preference. I like the sleekness of the CRX. There are a few more products for the CRX then the Hatch. And who ever said that the swaps are easier to do in a Hatch is mistaken.

[Marc-OS]

You know, Car and Driver refered to the CRX as a "poor man's Porsche", and any car that can be compared to a Porsche has got my vote. Besides, who needs a back seat, that just means you have to give more people rides .

LOL, that's precisely why I ripped mine out! hahaha.

Nothing worse than a buncha drunk people in my back seat trying to ash their cigarettes out the rear side windows, burning holes in my tint and shtuff. And, I can turn down any bum who wants a ride, guilt-free. Oh yeah, and now I've got more room for my subs...
