well they are built like a cardboard box. a guy I used ot work with bent the chassis of one when he put the jack in the wrong place changing a wheel. (might have been an older CRX actually now that I think about it)

personally I think they're overrated, but that could be because I dont like hondas in general. CRX's can be reasonably quick, but haven't heard much good about the handling.

2c contributed, next please.
