Faults:

Bought at 150k miles

175k miles had to fix the brakes and clutch (worn out)

215k miles replaced one CV joint (did both at same time though)

250k miles battery died pushed the car down hill and started it then bought a $40 battery

310k miles still going strong and even the a/c still works.

General Comments:

Just like my 275k mile 85 prelude before they've lasted me forever. Fun to drive and I enjoy the SUV slalom on the way to work while getting 40+ mpg. The engine is only 63 hp, but in a 2,000 lb car it still moves pretty quick. I added some larger steel wheels to the car and it can ashame most sports cars on the road.

Faults:

When I first got the car, the alternator was bad, so the guy that owned it, subtracted the original amount so that I can fix the alternator.

Replaced the timing belt and water pump. It didn't break, I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't if I was driving.

Distributor broke when I first got the car. I accidentally hit the curb while backing up, but either than that, if you take care of it real well, nothing really bad will happen to it.

And of course, the typical maintenance, like brake pads were also replaced.

General Comments:

I remember when I was 14 years old, I used to ride in the back of my brother in law's crx (which I own now) and I just fell in love with the car. He had a swapped engine which was an Integra Ls. It pulled!!

So after dealing with a 1986 Celica Gt-s, I wanted a reliable car, but I had a tight budget. Right when I was about to buy a cheap car, my brother in law told me about the crx (which he had sold to his friend Chris). Sooner or later, it was mine for only $1800. The car had 172,000 miles on it. It still pulls, and it hogs the ground and it is such a light car that it can take any car on the road! But... It recently got stolen. I wish I still had the car and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Cheap car, great gas mileage and great looking if plan to fix up.

Faults:

Engine light on.

Valve cover leaking bad.

Wheel bearing bad.

General Comments:

I love CRX's. Has to be one of the coolest Japanese cars ever made. This is my second CRX. I had an '87 with auto transmission previously. It was quick too. The Si I bought now needs work but that's some of the fun of having it to me.

Faults:

Well, since 97, I've replaced a number of things. At 210,000 miles I'm now replacing the engine, which for a car this old and this many miles... is expected.

General Comments:

I like it overall, it's small, quick... but Honda overlooked some small details, such as; AC/heater console cracking in the center and the rear hatch springs are crappy.

It's an agile car, and a gas saver.

Oh, and the seals in the rear hatch leak.

Faults:

Replaced clutch at 186,000 miles, but I learned to really "DRIVE" a stick on this car so I hold myself partly responsible.

Replaced CV joints at the time of replacing the clutch.

General Comments:

The brakes couldn't be better.

My CRX is very quick, especially for a 1.5L.

I will probably never go without a CRX. This car is just so reliable and fun to drive. My parents have a Corvette and tell me they love my car like it's their other Vette. There is really quite a bond between CRX owners, and hope that everybody that owns a 'Rex' and sees this will contact me and maybe we could exchange info about the CRX!
