I know. I looked into getting one from an Australian wrecking yard in the 1990's. Not for the practicality, just for the style. As long as your kids stop growing at 5 years old, it's golden. My Dad's Karmann Ghia was similar. It had rear "bench" seats that were ridiculous for any kind of long journey. No rear seatbelts either. But, thanks to the VW rear engine, it had room for a handy storage area *behind* the rear "seatlets".

My 2nd gen was bigger than the 1st gen CRX, but even with my super-size USA bias, I wouldn't call the CRX a family car.
