944 vs crx

Which car is better for daily driving, of course I sometimes want to kick some asses with this car too... Please, help me :)
Thank U :D

I don't think the CRX makes 130 hp. Even if it did, comparing an entry level Honda to a Porsche is absolutely ridiculous.

exactly, no crx ive heard of makes 130 hp stock and you would have to spend that 2k on aftermarket parts to do so. plus you will get a lot more respect and looks if youre driving a porsche

I say find something else. The CRX is too played out, and the 944 shouldnt even be considered a porsche.

I don't know, but in our country all teh crx's has 92 or 96 kw stock, so it almost 130 hp (128 to be exact :))
So U think porsche is better investment???

Are you seriously comparing a Honda to a Porsche? Please, get out of my sight :disappoin

crx is allot lighter and can handle very very well especialy for a FWD vehicle(im currently interested in an 88 si for STS2/CSP). 944 weighs about 2800lb's which is a good bit more.
I would be warey about a sub 2k 944 though. A cheap porsche can easily get expencive if the pervious owner didnt keep up with mainence.

cheaper easier fun would go to the crx. Cheap parts, good gas milage, cheap parts, huge aftermarket.
Porsche would just be fricking cool and fun to own but I wouldnt look at it as a budget vehicle.

But all in all, I woudl rather have a 944 then a CRX.

"Porsche" and "inexpensive" are mutually exclusive terms.

If you have a 2k budget for the car, go with the CRX. I've owned 2 944's (still own one, needs engine) and though they are quicker, more reliable, and more fun to drive, maintenance is a lot more. I had my street 944 for 2 years, and only had two major problems with it. Head gasket ($900 to have fixed) and clutch ($800 to have fixed). The car was high mileage, so neither of these came as a complete surprise, but I eventually traded it in for a 1999 Subaru 2.5RS because it was starting to have little annoying electrical problems that I was becoming wary of.

The 944 track car I still have has sat because I determined it was less expensive in the long run to build a Miata as a track car than fix the 944. The 944 is a better overall car, but the CRX is a better value in the long run.

get the rex. porshes suck ass! and throw in 8000 grand and you'll have a 10sec. car that would murder 911 tt cerreras

Well, there's no way the Honda can compare to the Porsche performance-wise, but it is the better budget vehicle, no doubt.

No such thing as a 911 TT Carrera...the Carrera generally is the NA version and the 911 Turbo is obviously the forced induction version.

Yeah i know the other day I lined up at a stoplight and spanked one of those cerreras. Then........Oh yeah then I remembered they don't exist.

An SiR CRX would quite easily out perform a 944.
And would be a hell of a lot more reliable.

I was waiting for someone to say that. they only have 3 less hp than 944 and it wieghs alot less. Although it does not have as much torque

It doesn't have only 3 hp less than the 944. The 944 N/A makes 164, and the CRX makes 105. The 944 also makes a lot more torque, it's rear-wheel-drive, and it's got a better suspension for racing. I'm sorry, but performance-wise, you just can't compare a Honda to a Porsche.

I was talking about the SiR crx, which has 160 hp. The crx is my opinion is a better investment. It's hard to find parts for 944's, and if oyu do, they will rape you with the prices. You guys just think you can't compare a honda to Porsche, you can. We are comparing cars here, apples to apples.

Porsche has 163 hp, not 164, what is more sir crx has 150, almost everywhere i find it has 150 hp, not 160, in my opinion 160 hp were in Japan, but i may be wrong....

No HONDAS ALLOWED!

Thanks for reviving an old thread with such a well thought-out post :rolleyes:
