Very reliable and will run forever, it's a Honda
Engine light on.
Valve cover leaking bad.
Wheel bearing bad.
I love CRX's. Has to be one of the coolest Japanese cars ever made. This is my second CRX. I had an '87 with auto transmission previously. It was quick too. The Si I bought now needs work but that's some of the fun of having it to me.

After all is said and done, I still love it
Well, since 97, I've replaced a number of things. At 210,000 miles I'm now replacing the engine, which for a car this old and this many miles... is expected.
I like it overall, it's small, quick... but Honda overlooked some small details, such as; AC/heater console cracking in the center and the rear hatch springs are crappy.
It's an agile car, and a gas saver.
Oh, and the seals in the rear hatch leak.

Excellent buy, great gas mileage, chick-magnet
Replaced clutch at 186,000 miles, but I learned to really "DRIVE" a stick on this car so I hold myself partly responsible.
Replaced CV joints at the time of replacing the clutch.
The brakes couldn't be better.
My CRX is very quick, especially for a 1.5L.
I will probably never go without a CRX. This car is just so reliable and fun to drive. My parents have a Corvette and tell me they love my car like it's their other Vette. There is really quite a bond between CRX owners, and hope that everybody that owns a 'Rex' and sees this will contact me and maybe we could exchange info about the CRX!

I have a 1988 Honda CRX. A family member bought the car from the dealer in 1988, and sold it to me for $1.00 in 1998 with 122,000 miles on it. I have since put 20,000 miles on it, and it is doing great!! I can afford to buy a new car. I just cannot seem to let go of a car that is so fun to drive, still has a lot of pep and can get out of its own way, and has not (knock on wood) given me any major expense so far. Why would I want car payments? I was so lucky I only paid a buck for it!!
CRX Si: a perfect package! (fun times 10!)
I bought my CRX Si knowing that it needed work. I have had the following things done to it: timing belt replaced and water pump, clutch replacement, distributor replacement, a complete tune up, and now it runs superbly.
I've wanted a CRX since 1988... and now I finally have one. I wish I'd gotten one sooner.
I love it!!! Reason #1: FUN to drive, handling and cornering are terrific!!
Reason #2. SUPERB gas mileage... normal (speedy) driving (the worst) mileage = 35; and going really slow (the speed limit) I got 46 mpg (415 miles/9 gal).
If you could add 30-40 hp, and keep everything else constant, this would be the BEST 2 seat car around.

Unmatched performance/reliability ratio... UNSTOPPABLE
I drive it too hard... and yet the only thing to die (besides maintenance): Ignition Coil
If you don't own one... you wouldn't understand... The pocket rocket that will bust your sprocket... Anyway... I've gone more places... gotten more kills... and done more dumb things in this car than most others would live through....
