Vehicle Weight?

Whats the weight of these cars. I have a 88 DX and the sticker in the driver door jam area says it weighs GVWR 3485 LBS, but i could have sworn that i see other people post here and on cardomain that it weighs 2500 LBS.

To me 3485 LBS is a lot for this little car. Our new 05 accord V6 weighs 4800 LBS and that thing drives like a barge.

The hatch weighs about 2600, the wieght you are reading is the curb weight, vehical fully loaded

oh, so thats the weight if there were 850 lbs of person in the car. 3485 - 850 = 2635lbs.

That makes much more sence now. Thanks

GVWR is gross weight. Thats fully loaded to the cars maximum capacity. Curb weight is the car empty with no gas in the tank. At least I think so...

[EducatedFool]

you sir, are correct

Does curb weight also include the exclusion of oil/anitfreeze/windshieldwiper/transmission/brake and power steering fluids as well?
