1989 Honda CRX Si review from North America
"A rocket on rails"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the rear left wheel bearing.
Had to replace two mufflers in four years.
The igniter failed often causing the engine to stall when at idle. (an inexpensive fix.)
Rear hatch squeaked consistently.
General comments?
This is my favorite car I have ever owned. The fuel economy was terrific. The handling was terrific. And there are a tonne of performance parts for this little engine. With a few mild modifications, my car could accelerate faster than Mustangs and Cameros. Not too bad when your consistently getting 35+mpg. (even driving it hard) I moved across country and had to sell it due to lack of hauling space. I wish I never had.
