Hey /o/, convince me NOT to get a CRX Si as my first car.

why? its a good first car.
the hard part is finding one in THAT condition

>>17291318
I don't think you should get a CRX Si as your first car.

>>17291323
Right I agree but I want to believe...

The only thing bad about this car is that it doesn't have modern features or safety. Otherwise probably the best first car possible. People will be completely shocked when you tell them how much mpg you get.

>>17291334
Not sure if you were trying to discourage me but I want one even more now.

>>17291342
its tiny on the inside
expect instant death in the event of a crash
its still comfy and visibility is ok
could do with a little more noise deadening

>>17291357
>expect instant death in the event of a crash
Will a good rollbar fix this?

>crash at 40mph
>literally die

>>17291370
No. The car doesn't crumple properly and you'll just be crushed

Rust.

>>17291370
It doesn't even have fucking airbags what do you think?

>>17291371
Knew a guy who hit a deer and rolled a crx going +130 kmh. He woke up in the hospital with a concussion and bumps and bruises but that was it.

>>17291371
>>17291372
>>17291375
I like to live..............dangerously.

No jk but dying in the car that I want doing what I love most?
I-I'm okay with this...

Will mostly be for track & occasional toegay.

>>17291380
Shit that sucks. For the car.

>>17291399
Wow I did not know the focus was that bad.

Also I am pretty sure the insurance on this Si is insane as well.

>>17291391
Try to be a little less retarded. The reality is that you will probably cling to life like a parasite and instead you will be a shell of once you once were with all of the brain damage, shattered face, and other severe injuries that come with a serious car accident.

Find a recent Civic Si with a manual in good shape and call it a day. Stuff like the CRX just isn't a good idea for a daily driver unless you drive only once a week or something like that.

>>17291427
That's a little dramatic...but your logic is sound. I'll heed that advice only because I know that my luck is shit and this could actually happen to me one day.

Just kill me now fampai.

>>17291440
Don't be a pussy and listen to >>17291427.
I have a 91 Civic DX hatchback (which is what the CRX of the same year is based off of) and parts are extremely cheap compared to all eight of the previous cars I've owned, and I'm getting constantly 32mpg with my foot in it, revving it out to God knows because I don't have a tach.

>>17291444
Forgot to mention, my insurance for full coverage is also under 25 dollars a month.
I have a shop manual and have done all the maintenance and repair myself too because it's so fucking simple.
Hands down the most economical car I've ever owned.

>>17291399
I love how stereotypes show up in data:
cheap small cars = teenagers and people who made terrible life choices
crew cab pickups = bottom of industry workers who made terrible life choices but also drive in more dangerous places

Some of the poor/rushed worker type data-points can be blamed on how shit society fucks up people.

>>17291318
Just buy the damn thing and enjoy your 50+ something MPG and have fun.

I have this car
It's ok

>>17291391
Don't romanticize dying. When you're dead that's it. You won't even know. You should treat your life with respect

>>17291318
Every single CRX Si has a snake hiding inside, that fella will wake up and bite your dick. It's just a matter of time.
Do not buy.

>>17291391
>doing what I love most
You love shoving your lungs back into your broken body?
Car wrecks are not a clean way to die,senpai.

>>17291416
Reason I heard that the 6th gen SI and SIR insurance was so damn high was because they were heavily targeted vehicles for theft and easy to steal.

>>17291370
No, the rollbar will break from the body, hitting you in the back of the head, leaving you a vegitable at worst. Dead at best.


Get an 8th gen civic Si you dumbshit.

>top ten yer ganna die cars
>30% of them are Chevy.

Buy Murrican little burger. You don't want your dollars going overseas do ya? Why do you hate American workers? Pushrodsis best, valve float and hard choices. The tree of industry must be occasionally watered by the combined power steering, coolant, and lubrication fluids of a north star V8. Toby Keith says buy ford, not Chevy or Dodge, but either are better than jap crap tin can toyoda, or Honda ok? Praise Diesel.

>>17291399
>first car was #4
>drive #6 now
wew

>Buying a 30 year old car with zero crash protection as a first car

Yeah, no.

>>17291391
This isn't what you love to do.


You haven't learned what it feels like to graduate with a STEM degree and make $180-$220k yr within 5 years of graduation, so you can order mod-range escorts for the night without giving a fuck about the cost.


That is what you'll love to do. Don't die in a crx fireball before then.

Besides you'll just ruin another restorable CRX for us stupid oldfags that already do the above, and have the money and nostalgia to restore a CRX that isn't ruined by Hispanic trash illegals, or snot nosed faggots like (you).

>>17291318
Just get something reliable like a Ford Ranger

OP here. So pretty much don't get the CRX because.......I'll DIE.

Well alright then.

>>17292355
No, the reason we didn't recommend you getting the crx because you're an idiot and you'll die like an idiot while driving that car.

>>17292459
Y-You too.

It isn't as good looking as the second generation. Not only that but, in the US we didn't get the vtech version. The D series isn't very fast either.

>>17291469
>Don't romanticize dying
This "guy" is right.
People will forget you quickly.
And what did you die for?
Don't romanticize dying, stupid.

>>17291318
>sticky telling people not familiar with cars that its safe to DD a car older than 10 years
YOu realize you cant even get maitnance(that they will surely be needing) dont on these things right?
Most garages will laugh at you if you try to bring in a 91 CRx

>>17291469
wuts the story behind the bottle caps

>>17293254

you're fucking retarded

>>17291357
one of my friends had one as his first car. he crashed it into a bus but he's still alive

>>17291357
>expect instant death in the event of a crash
perfect

>>17293254
Are you being ignorant to fuck with op, or are you just actually retarded

>>17291357

>crash at 40mph

>>17291375
>doesn't even have fucking airbags

So I take it you faggots don't ride motorcycles then.

Im gonna say no simply because the ef chassis is getting hard to find parts for. The eg/ej is a much smarter choice based on second hand parts and aftermarket.
