Saw both a first gen crx(86) and a sec gen(89) today at the wrecker. It is hard to tell that the 86 is narrower but it is certianly shorter and the front a little blockier looking. However one thing that really struck me was the difference in the front suspentions. The 88 Iam sure handles really well but the older crx would be lighter suspention wise and would lend itself to easier lowering with it's torsion bar setup!. So again ...for fuel economy purposes the 86 would be better if you dont mind a bunch of electrical swap work, plus motor mount welding inorder to install a more fuel efficient EFI engine.
