dont get the base model...your just buying a civic dude...that looks nicer inside...you are going to regret it...the crx was a fun car though...we used to go drinking and driving on dirt roads with it in florida...i drove the base and the type-s and after i got out of the type-s i had a smile on my face and the salesman was standing right there when i got out of my car and i was thinking... god damm i know he saw that...
