Don't rag on it until you've tried it. You get behind the wheel of a car that small, with that much power to weight, that handles that well, with a stick that shifts like butter, you'd have a smile on your face too. Doesn't matter what it looks like or where it was made. I'm betting you never drove a CRX, and I think you'd be surprised how much ******* fun a car like that is. Yes, Mopars are the ****. But there are plenty of other cars that are amazing in their own way...
There you go, I should have known, you would have lost that bet... It was a joke... Remember what type of forum your on... I have driven many little POS's small crap box aluminum/tin can toasters rattle trap torque steering roller-skates on wheels...LOL..., Including many Honda's, Toyota's, Nissan's, Mitsubishi's, Lexus, Infinity, etc. with probably far more powerful turbocharged, supercharged or big engines that handle well, {
for a front wheel drive car, they're inferior handling to begin with} & the 5-6 spd manual trans is the norm,
by the way "I've also drove a few CRX's", my old girlfriend owned one, it was a pile IMHO, she loved it too, but I don't know why... also I have friends & people I worked with, that were into the "tuner scene" {fast & furious wannabees}, that drag raced or auto-crossed or road raced in many different classes or were into the posers show scene... but unlike you, I wasn't that impressed as you were obviously, I can see how someone that doesn't drive allot of different cars or more powerful cars that actually are good handling cars, could &/or would "think", it's fun or a false sense of quality &/or even power & handling,
I'm sure it was fun, but so is a damn go-cart & I wouldn't drive one on the street, let alone put an irresponsible 16 y/o kid/child in one of those unsafe cars, to drive on the street either... I worked for/with a larger dealership group for 30 years, with 125 different automotive dealerships, raced all over the US Sprints & Drag Racing, I worked at dealerships all over the western USA &
have driven almost every make & model of US made, Japanese & many other much better "European/foreign cars", from 1981 up-to around 2010, still more after that but not as much lately... I base my opinion on knowledge & my experiences, not some hatred for CRX's or bias...
I guess we will just agree to disagree...

I had a mini fleet of VW bugs (I know, 5 points off man card). They were cheap to get, fix and run. And I was always fixing something on them. Later I decided I like VW's best when they belong to someone else.
Meeps you do know, I have always thought that,
"more woman/girls should ride BART"...LOL... I agree I had 2 VW's one was a Manx Dune Buggy with a dual-port w/Judson Blower 2100cc, fun as hell, unsafe *** hell too, both handled very well, the Manx had big G/50's front & N/50's rear, but they or I am better off, when they're owned by someone else....

I will admit (at the cost of a man point or two lol) CRX's are a freakin rocket. my cousin in FLA had one years ago, and he let me drive it, whoooooooooa bundy! dump that clutch at 3 grand, and that thing would snap your neck! once you hit 75 it would fall on it's face, but it was a lot fun till you get there!! lol
exactly...
