yeah they are tiny, but there is A LOT of trunk room. Mostly because of the lid, but also because if there werent then it would be even smaller.

i always wanted a crx, but I dont know if I could deal with the reduced room.

they are very tiny...my friend owns one and the seats are very close together...and practically on the floor...
When the seats are all the way back, you do get lots (and I mean lots) of leg room though and there really is plenty of headroom (as long as your not over 6'5")
I like em though...the dohc ones w/ b16's anyway...hard to beat a targa top in the summer

I had a Rex and now a Sol and I love 'em both. They are low to the ground but you get used to it. There is PLENTY of leg and head room. And the trunk is huge. Plus you get all the fun little compartments inside to put everything in. The cupholders BLOW though. I take the ashtray out and put the drinks in there.

You are quite correct. There is one at my school and i was lookin at it the other day - it is just so tiny - nothing wrong with that of coarse, but its just so small (now one of those w/B18C5=really really fast!!!).

yeah the utter lack of good cupholders in them kinda sucks...
the bad ones that they do have are in the center arm rest and it has rings that flip out of the lid that hold things...really crappy...

At least you guys get cupholders. For some reason they didn't see fit to put cupholders in the '91 Integra LS, you'd think they could at least spring for one freaking cupholder, i mean it is an Acura....

It must be you. I find my del sol to be bigger then most limo's. In fact, I ran over an SUV yesterday with mine then a tank.


Uh-oh. Sarcasm alert

As soon as I got my Sol, I was like, "Wow, like a Rex but more better."

Course, I've got the DOHC VTEC. So that helps.
