I have a 85 CRX, and I absolutely love her. She has never given me problems.

I bought it for a commuter to go to university, and she has turned into one of my favourite cars. At 285,000 kms with no rebuild, she is running just as she did when I got her.

I recently repainted her maroon and put a silver bottom skirt on her. They are awesome little cars to play around with!

I love love love this car.

Too bad Honda doesn't make them anymore, cause they sure made their mark.

Mine's carbureted so the fuel consumption probably isn't as great as a fuel injected, but she still doesn't use a lot of gas!

Faults:

Served an elderly lady for over 20 years without many problems, and has in the last few years been thrashed by young teenagers on the race track!

Killed the motor, clutch (for sitting around for 6 months, believe this is a common problem with Hondas).

Also killed the gearbox and was a nightmare finding parts in New Zealand.

C.V joints almost dead.

Speedo gave up around 248,000.

But what do you expect for its age and mileage.

General Comments:

What a car! 0 to 100 kms in just 8.9 seconds (.3 of a second slower than a Holden Commodore), enough for this car to have taken two different young Junior Dirt Track Drivers too many podium wins, including 2007 No. 2 Junior Driver and 2009 No. 2 Junior Driver. Leaves the other makes of race cars for dead.

Does chew through the fuel 50lts/100km (who said small cars are cheap to run!!) but OK we are racing under controlled conditions so that might explain it.

This car is the ideal dirt track car; it is light and fast. Only gripe about it is that the age of the vehicle is making it hard to get parts for.

Jeremy Clarkson owned one of these, so it must be cool.

Faults:

3rd Gear would not stay in gear when I bought it, but it came with a functioning transmission in the back. Apparently the guy before me was drag racing it.

The ignition switch was a bit worn and temperamental, but after I took the dash out and cleaned it, it worked fine. Would be an expensive fix if it were done in a shop. ~$200.

General Comments:

Quite fast for the gas mileage.

Showing a good deal of wear after 24 years, but nothing major mechanically.

Very dependable; aside from the ignition switch there's been nothing that I needed to fix. There are the usual things you'd expect after 24 years, (old battery had to be replaced, coolant, tires, some interior things) but that aside, it's a very reliable car.

Fun and versatile; it can be a little monster, or a gas sipper, depending on your mood.

Handles very well.

Faults:

Old, but still running at 138,000 and in a garage for over two years.

General Comments:

I do not drive it anymore, has been in the garage for over two years.

Just got a new battery in an it started right away! Not even my $$$ John Deer riding mower does that.

There is rust on the undercarriage, and the usual stuff that an old car will suffer I guess. I drove it and I was afraid a cop would stop me and slap me with a fine. Oh well, it was the first car I ever bought and paid for by myself, met and married my wife owning it and had my first child.

Now that boy 15 years of age wants the car I has forbidden me to sell it. What can I say, he's got good taste.
