Screw Hybrids.

[Cory Wolfe]

I just managed to hit 50 mpg in my CRX. If I can do that and in this car, why would I ever want a hybrid? Perfect mix of utility, economy, and most importantly, fun. Just thought I'd share...

Curious: how, exactly, do you measure 'utility' ??

[regfootball]

CRX weighed less than a ton. A non hybrid CRZ of sim size would have quite a bit of extra weight because of the safety performance required plus all the extra wiring and stuff. Even the Fit is heavy in comparison.

But yeah, say a 2200 pound CRX with say a 1.5 litre. That might push mid forties on the hwy.

Very cool, Vipes, and very true, re: hybrids. They suck.

And to think, you were able to reach 50 mpg, even with all that bondo on your asscheeks!

It will out tow and out haul your Duramax diesel, silly...

Cargo space.

[balthazar]

I've 'done time' in a CRX; for one person, traveling locally, with a small quantity of items, it could have a 'perfect' amount of utility, I suppose, tho it's no more than any other car (besides a smart & a Viper).

Curious that you bothered to mention it, is all.

i've hit 37mpg in my car, before, and i can haul 8ft peices of lumber in it too... though, not plywood.

Don't wreck it. There wouldn't be any BV left.

Put a Sonata badge on it and you can get thirty grand for it.

Basically.

It doesn't compromise cargo space as much as most 2-seaters do, especially for its small size. And while Japanese market CRX's were available with a backseat, it's better used as cargo space. Leg room back there is non-existent.

Oh, there would be some of me left... Just, in a slightly altered form.

Would love to see crash results of a CRX vs the Duramax equipped truck.

What more do you need?

omg. do 2 other people help get that out of there, or just go down the ramp like that... route the exhaust up much higher?

On a related note, thanks to the tipping residents of Dubois, my delivery job has just paid for my CRX after 3 months.
