Unless you brake the timing belt on a crx or civic the engine will last well over 300,000 miles, metros not much past 200,000, both of them are much much less of course in the hands of a teenager.
the draw back of a CRX is the space for batteries, there is no rear seat to remove, there are no square chunks of space and if you put the batteries in the rear you have to put some in the front or it will make it so rear heavy that it will scare you to death to drive it, I found this while using my crx hf as a work vehicle hauling 200+ pounds of tools in the rear, if I didn't have a passenger it wouldn't handle well because the car is to light, if there was space between the rear axle and the seats that would be different, but there is no space.
Also, why take a solid car that with a perfectly good engine and can get 55mpg in it's stock form and convert it when you could leave it on the road for someone who does drive distances and take a car that only gets 35mpg off the road and convert it.
