MikAnchovy Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 I really liked the CRX vs. GTi vs. MR2 comparison, so I felt I should create a new thread honouring the cars that came after those three, circa '91-92-93-in there. Please post any opinions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikAnchovy Posted April 16, 2001 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 My choice? It should hardly come to anyone's surprise that I'm totally in love with my car, and hell, I did buy it over some of the other cars in this comparison, so there you go. But putting aside my total partiality here, I love 4th gen Civics/CRXs... maybe not as much as 3rd gens , but then again too, that's not for the most objective of reasons! IMO, Honda made a mess of the Civic line after '92. I also like the Precidias and the VWs... both are supposed to handle wickedly. The n/a 2L DSMs are supposed to be good as well, and they get ignored way too much next to the turbo/AWD versions of the cars. Hell... I like pretty much every car I put in the poll... if I weren't hopelessly in love with my car, I'd find it very hard to choose between all the cars in the comparison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreyS Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 CRX... I love the way they look. And then there's the suspension, engine and interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PontiacGP Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 I chose the VW out of the ones listed, but I prefer the turbo dodge daytona's over them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 I took the VW, although the saturn had entered my mind, it is a pretty cool car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mata Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 i also took the vw gti great car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MURDER Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Would you guys explain why you're chosing the Volkswagen please. Because I find it to be rather ugly, that's just my opinion though. I went for the Civic/CRX Si because I know first hand what they(CRX in particular) are capable of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Well, i took it over the civic because in my opnion the civic is ugly, and the VW is much better looking. I think the VW is better handleing, not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroSpec GTi 16v Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what I picked. I love the GTi and I feel back then and even still today it is a great car. Absolutly outstanding handling, great power, that 16v motor really loves to rev. I believe it had more power than the CRX Si of the day and you know it definitely had more torque. Looks are no questions you either like them or not! I love them! Just check mine out if you want to see one, check the sig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MURDER Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Yes, of course it had more power, 130 horses and 129 lb ft. of torque, compared to the CRX Si's 108 horses and 100 lb ft. of torque. But let's not forget the CRX Si weighed about 2,150 pounds, and the GTi weighed 2,655 lbs. In a straight line, they are probably pretty well even, but on a track I would give the thumbs up to the CRX. I REALLY doubt the VW out-handles the Honda, I would imagine the CRX was the best handling FWD car untill the ITR came along. Nothing against the VW, I like them, and I would love to have one.

Pot Hed Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 I had to hit the MR-2,those things scoot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2001 Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 I would have chosen the MR2, but I don't really like the second gen...so, my vote goes to the 16V GTI. A bit too heavy, but still fun. And IMO the most beautiful of the bunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikAnchovy Posted April 16, 2001 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2001 Actually, for an informative article about the CRX vs. GTi vs. NX2000, check out this link: http://65.11.246.68/articles/rtnx.html. Basically, Road and Track said that the CRX was under-tired on the track and that it understeered too much vs. the GTi and NX. The NX won on the skidpad, and the GTi on the slalom...

kiwi Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 Personally, I'd take a Nissan Pulsar Gti-r 173Kw 4wd turbo VW Golf VR6 5 speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Burn Rice Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 Are you comparing the MR2 Turbo or NA? If Turbo than give me that. That engine is extremeley moddable and I love the way that car looks. If no Turbo then give me the GTi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
