1 Lightweight
2 Easy to work on
3 Can be made killer fast around corners. one of the only FF cars that can corner as well as say, a miata (when done correctly that is)
4 Can be made killer fast in a straight line. Swap the stock motor out with a B, F, H, or K series and you have dramatic increase in acceleration. A beefed up all motor K series CRX can whoop some serious ass down the 1820. Or slap a turbo on a D series motor and it will walk right by much higher horsepower cars for dirt cheap.
5 No nonsense design, look elsewhere for girly frills.
6 Aerodynamics (CRX) very low drag coefficient (Cd 0.29) along with a drag area of less than six feet equates to better top end acceleration and gas mileage
7 Gas mileage: I regularly get over 50mpg on trips, and over 40mpg in town with a cam'd D15b7 making more than double the stock horsepower for the car.
8 large aftermarket support
9 newer/better OEM parts interchangeable. How many people run DA hubs/trailing arms/brakes on their EFs? just about all of them. Want an S2000 gauge cluster? no prob. Hydro tranmission? there is a kit for it. AWD? do you want to run D (wagovan), B (early model CRV) or K (late model CRV) series motor? the list goes on.

Dislikes
1 most EF owners let the cars fall to shit
2 Rust, mainly from owners who let their cars fall to shit
3 wiring, mainly from the asshole owners who hack their shit up
4 theives target them because they are stupid easy to break into and steal.





Some of my favorite EFs.... the SSworks CRX, Jeremy Croiset's NASA Honda Challenge CRX, the Bergenholtz CRX, the Top Setup K20/K24 CRX, the Bisimoto NA D15 CRX, both of my current CRXs, and my brothers hatch.
