Faults:

CV joints and two motor mounts are getting old and will need replacing soon.

General Comments:

This car is a blast. My brother owned one when I was younger and I absolutely fell in love with it. The second I had an option to buy one I jumped on it. It handles better then most sports car I've driven in the past few years and its looks great. Even for being nearly 17 years old this cars design still looks sharper then most high end imports. Even for being a tiny four cylinder this car can get up and go. I plan on keeping this for a long time.

Faults:

Timing Belt gone at 130, no damage to Valves

Rust over rear tires and other places

Trunk supports didn't work.

General Comments:

No other car handles like the CRX at least that I've driven. Fast off the line, corners on rails and reliable like no other. Replaced stock Header/exhaust, and K&N made this car climb hills and growl. In the canyons of Cali to the Coast of BC this car is the greatest poor man's sports car.

Faults:

The main relay went bad and that cost $6. Nothing else has gone bad.

General Comments:

Wonderful styling and economy. The car is quite torquey at low RPM's, but no power above 4200 RPM's. To fix the sluggishness I put a 16-valve head and a SOHC ZC camshaft, Si intake manifold system and injectors, Iceman cold air intake, 4-2-1 header and sport exhaust. Nothing fancy just the basics to get my little 1967 lbs CRX to go fast! Honda has the best suspension around so it's very fun even with the 8-valve head. The change is not really necessary because the car is very lightweight making good use of it's 62 HP an 90 lbs. of torque. If you find an HF CRX don't hesitate on buying one.

Faults:

Binding caliper.

Needed new rear suspension bushes.

Headlight stopped working on dipped beam.

Oil leak from camshaft seal.

General Comments:

An excellent car.

These cars look good, are fast, effcient and are reliable.

Handling and grip is superb even on standard suspension.

The Vtec engine is a bit on/off. But keep it above 5500rpm and you'll have loads of fun!

Nice leather seats- great!

Overall one of the best small sporty cars of its time. A genuine all rounder and still hugely popular.

If you want a fast non-aspirated sports car go for the crx.

General Comments:

The interior is almost perfect, the motor has taken a lot of hell. It handles great. Everything is stock, with the exception of the stereo and front and rear upper strut tower bars.

The car handles great, accelerates great, gets great gas mileage even when driven hard, and loves to downshift.

This car has been very reliable and never has left me stranded anywhere.

Faults:

At 135,000 miles I replaced the CV boots.

At 145,000 miles I replaced the radiator, which had developed a crack.

I'm on the third set of brakes, 3rd set of drive belts, 4th set of tires, and 4th water pump. (I think I had one dud water pump in there somewhere.)

General Comments:

The CRX was a brilliant stroke by Honda. No other car at the time and price came close to providing it's combination of performance, reliability, and fuel efficiency. It is also a great looking car which still stands out today as a styling triumph. I think it's a classic.

Mine still gets over 35 mpg on a daily commute, which combines city, freeway, and a little stop and go traffic. On pure open freeway it approaches 45 mpg. (I've been pretty good about regular maintenance and have been taking it to the same shop for all 14 years and 175,000 miles.)

The car is a getting a bit long in the tooth, but it can still makes me smile as I hug a tight corner and leave some ridiculously huge, gas hogging, roll-over prone SUV wallowing far behind.
