Aside from a muffler replacement and some brake pads, the only thing I did to the car was replace the clutch around 170,000 km.

This was my first car that I used as a daily driver. I bought it from a girl who was traveling. It was parked in here parents driveway for a year and she needed money. I paid $3,800 for the car when it was 10 years old with 144,000 km. Not bad. The car was in excellent condition. Bone stock with a flawless interior and only miner scratches on the body.

I used the car to go to and from school which was about 30km (20 miles) in each direction. I regularly put on 500 + km (300 miles) every week. I put the recommended premium gas in it, when it cost less than half of what it costs now, and that was my only expense. My mom had a 93 DX hatch back with the 1.5 motor, my CRX ran circles around that thing. It was crazy how much more performance there was. 108 HP moving 2000 lbs, not too bad. I did a lot of road trips one summer and the car easily cruised at 170 km/h (105 mph). I sold it 2 1/2 years later for $3,500 and about 60,000 km more.

You will never be able to find an untouched ex. these days but who know, there might be an old lady with a 91 Si in here garage with 50,000km.....

Axles need to be replaced. New alternator, fuel filter, battery, passenger side floor has started to rust, there are tiny holes in the floor, but hasn't completely rotted. Seats have slight rips in them, seat tracks need to be replaced. Engine was blown not long after purchasing.

Handles well and is extremely fast.$10 would nearly give me a half tank of fuel!!!, and it was great on gas-- (until you step on it).Good shape for being 17 years old.

The brakes worked great and unexpectedly stopped stopping. I changed the rotors with some Brembo drilled and slotted rotors, fixed the leaking in the rear drums. Stops on a dime. Replaced distributor cap and rotor at 203,500 miles. I put a new HKS muffler on it because the original had rusted and fell off while driving. Driver seat has normal wear on it. There was some rust on the rear fenders.

I got this car for free. It hadn't been started for 4 years, so I spent a weekend on it and got it running. It fired up like a champ and was running very strong. Even thought it wasn't inspected, I took it out on the round and ended up taking a turn a little faster than I should have, which for this car was really very fast. I hit a truck and had pretty much damage done to it. Put some brand new parts on it and it runs, still, like a champ and looks great.

I purchased this vehicle new as a left-over in Feb of 1990. The timing belt broke at 102,000 miles. At that point, the dealer informed me that the timing belt was a required change at 92,000 miles.

The radiator was replaced at 220,000 miles.

Front brakes are disks, rear are drums. Front brakes were replaced about every 50,000 miles.

Alternator was repaired at 250,000 miles.

After 12 years, the vehicle rusted inside the rear passenger side wheel well. Water would enter the vehicle after driving through large puddles in rain storms. This water would flood the passenger side front and get the computer wet (on 2 occasions). The vehicle would shut down when the computer got wet. However, once the water vacated the computer, the vehicle ran just fine.

The interior cargo cover (which gave the area under the hatchback some privacy), ripped apart at the seams after about 10 years.

The plastic mechanism beneath the heater (rotating) knob had to be replaced twice.

The seat had standard wear of a vehicle that was used heavily everyday for 13 years.

The muffler was replaced twice at 6 and 11 years.

The vehicle started to rust in the sun-roof. However, no water entered the vehicle because of this.

The vehicle began to rust after 12 years behind the rear wheel wells on both sides.

This is the best car I've ever owned. At 370,469.8 miles, I had a near head on collision where the vehicle was totaled. I suffered knee injuries, and a pounding to the chest because the seat belt did it's job - but otherwise I was fine. All this goes to say that this is a very well built car.

With that many miles, the insurance adjuster thought the car would only be worth $200. However, after checking 5 different sources at the time, the average value of the vehicle was $4,500. Yes, that's Four thousand-Five hundred dollars om 2003. This car holds its value well.

I kept the book on fuel fill-ups from the first fill after I purchased the vehicle to the last. This car was rated at 29/33 mpg. I got as high as 39 mpg and as low as 29 mpg. Under normal driving conditions, I got 33 mpg.

This car accelerates well and hold it's own on the highway. One of the best features of this vehicle is that it is easy to find parking because of it's size.

Insurance rates on this car was very favorable.

Although my vehicle was primarily dealer maintained, I did my own oil changes and in the last 100,000 miles, I did the brakes (twice).

This vehicle has the carrying capacity of a small truck. I've had a 16 gallon vacuum cleaner and a size-able pressure washer along with other items in the rear. This vehicle is equipped with a secret storage compartment behind the seats.
