im not sure about this, but i think there is no a/c in the CXi... =/
weight difference? like 5-10kg CXi being lighter

if your the one that requires these features, i suggest you just wait it out and do what i did.
waited like 6 months, constantly searching for a cheap GLi.
the opportunity came and i got this red GLi hatch with 125,000 kms and a
good clutch all for 4.5k.
only bad side was the seriously faded red (pink). sorted it out and got a mate to respray it red again with a black bonnet (2pack baked). looks great now. spray job was on a mates rate though

i really thought i would get a CXi, but i realised all these differences and i said HELL NO... i cant deal with no power options.
but its a funny thing in the sydney metro area.
CXi's sell for more or the same as a GLi.

i say, wait it out, look hard, your waiting will pay off

also blastnpast, your car looks f**ked, the support column for the roof is bent and trying to panel beat out the side crashed bit will be like impossible. looks like a repairable writeoff, but an expensive one lol. to get it done professionally, they will have to replace the smashed metal, and that is certainly NOT cheap at all. like a 10k job.
(looks like you fastened on that lip real good though!!)
haha iight , cxi has air con mate and a good one at that very powerful also the only physical difference is that the cxi doesnt have power options which does suck, by the way there is no column bent mate all that needs replacing is my left fender bonnet and front bumper, i am hoping that it isnt a rite off but i will update on what the situation is when i find out from aami either monday or tuesday.. THE LIP WAS TIGHTENED HEHEHE possibly selling it for $120 its 3 days old
