Just fit in being, 1.90 metres tall.

General Comments:

Still gives me great feeling driving, good handling no power-steering, no aircon, no electric windows, just the electric sunroof!

STILL DOING FINE AFTER 19 YEARS.

As from 2001, when not in use, stored at garage.

Faults:

Nothing yet.

General Comments:

It's a great car to drive, I drive it every day with a lot of fun.

It's fast because of the great 131bhp engine (engine code: D16a9)

Faults:

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.

General Comments:

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.....

Faults:

Had to change the driver side outer CV joint (I also need to do the passenger side as this is on its way out too).

* Good indication that mechanical parts on Honda wear evenly.

Had to replace radiator - well easy to do this.

Change tyres and brakes like on any car.

The heater does not work!!!

General Comments:

For a unmodified 1989 car, I have tried to see the fastest it would go (like what I do with all cars). I got over 130 miles per hour with the CRX - and it still had a little more to go - this is excellent for a a car that is nearly 20 years old, and all I did was change the spark plugs and air filter.

I have thicker tyres (205/45) rather than the standard 185/65. When doing speeds over 100mph I would strongly recommend you put the thickest tyres on to offer better grip and handling.

I bought this car cos the shape reminds me of the car in back to the future. Also I owned a crappy 1996 Rover 25, which has to be the worst car I even owned. This car is still faster than brand new cars on the road today - especially in the 1000-1600cc range.

** Bad points **

Rust.

Can be juicy in petrol if you put the pedal to the metal all of the time.

Insurance could be cheaper for a small car like this.

The car is a little flimsy - i.e plastic breaking inside etc.

Faults:

CV joints were cracking when purchased, probably due to the previous owner's hard driving.

Oil leak from fuel pump.

That's all.

General Comments:

Seriously underrated hot hatch. Even in 1.5 twin carb form, it's fast and amazing. Fuel consumption in the 50`s if driven sensibly (around 80mph).
