Buuuut... that list doesn't say "HF" on the 1st gen stats. It might be better than indicated.

I'd still go for the smaller, lighter one, personally. You can fix the Cd (and have fun doing it).
Buy it.

I had a 3 1st gen CRX's. I'd rather have them.

The handling issues aren't really issues at all, the McPherson setup is fine for extreme use with a set of decent coil overs and some lowering, which isn't really all that hard to do.

Hell, you can lower the front of the car up to 2 inches or so just by turning a couple nuts!

Check out RedPepperRacing.org for all the info you could ever use on the 1st gen CRX.
