Brighton Belle needs to buy a CRX VTi
Without a shadow of a doubt, hardtop, convertable, FWD, all mod cons, unusual, nippy and reliable.
Looks rubbish without the rear spoiler though and try and avoid the ones with the electric roof its very swish but expensive to fix if it goes wrong. Lovely little car MB |

Bloody hell thats expensive!
I used to have an ESi and it was sweet, mother had a VTi until I took it to H's graduation ball and someone broke into the house and nicked the keys :-/ Lovely little cars and handle very sweetly MB |

Re: Brighton Belle needs to buy a CRX VTi
Bit of a problem up in this part of the country unfortunately. Imports are pretty rare up here so they charge a premium. Although I love going to these places just to ogle

Re: Brighton Belle needs to buy a CRX VTi
The CRX is probably easier to drive and will feel and probably is faster than an MX5, its FWD which you are probably used to, the lid won't get cut open like a rag top can, its quieter too because of the solid roof.
I think they look a lot better too, fair point they aren't as modable as the MX5 or quite as easy to drive hard but they are great fun. Someone seemed to think over at the other place that they were turbos, they aren't and never were as standard they do however have VTEC if you go for the VTi version or import equilalent and and this makes the car a total animal over around 5000RPM it just boosts forward as if it has a small turbo when it comes on cam and the noise is amazing! Top car, I'd have another one in a flash, it I wouldn't look quite as gay as I remember. MB |
