Guys i drove all the way around Europe in a 1.5x and never ever again, these cars are hopeless at cruising on motor ways, sitting at 80-85ish your ears and getting hammered at 4000rpms, it also used about 4 liters of engine oil throughout the journey and took about 20k miles off the engines life span. 1000miles a week is not fun in a crx

BUT on the other hand the look on peoples faces in the back of beyond up the alps when they see a dinky little crx on Irish plates sliding around in the snow is just priceless
