1994 Honda CRX VTi review from UK and Ireland
"Buy this 160bhp little rocket!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the car for 5 months now, and the only thing that has made me dip into the wallet is the changing of the front tyres. If you drive the car, making the most out of the brilliant engine, then tyre wear is quite rapid on the front.
No other problems.
General comments?
Its shocking that a 1.6 engine can produce so much fun. The 160bhp unit gets to 60mph in about 7 seconds, and trust me, it puts a smile on your face. When the rev counter passes 5,500rpm, them you hear an almighty roar as the VTEC kicks in.
I am 18, and at insurance group 17, the car costs an arm and a leg to insure. But it is worth it, and I have taught all the boy racers down the city a right lesson.
I have a metallic blue VTi with the exquisit electric roof. Recently put black 17" alloys on it, and it is a gorgeous looking car. 17" wheels deliver incredible grip as well, try it on a roundabout!
Overall, a seriously quick 2 seater sports car, buy one if you can find one.
