mine was awd, and i would of love to keep it, but with the tranny problems i was having i couldn't bare it no more , but maybe thats why i was so comfortable in the vx my first drive almost the same feel, i'd say my vx is about almost as snappy as my svx not totally but close with everything i have done to the vx, but with the vx they have so much more parts and cost is cheaper also and easier to get, does that make any since -svx about 25,000 vx about 4500 you'd figure the bigger number car would have a lot more performance parts and whole parts too from some big companies. by the way i've been on your page 100's of times when i had mine think i talked to you when i got my kumho's, which the 18's and all are on the crv with still almost full tread at 20,000 on them. sorry people had to talk about the svx if you had one you'd probably scratch your head like i did when i seen there is more for the vx, plus some of the svx people that are nice are rare to talk to also sorry.
