Faults:

I had to replace an axle thanks to some faulty suspension work that was done before I got it. Other than that, I've had no problems.

General Comments:

I got this car for $2000 and I must admit, it was a steal.

It's a 91 Honda CRX Si, which means that it's got the 108hp 1.6L SOHC engine. I must say, it's a quick little beast.

The 5-speed manual transmission shifts smooth for relaxed cruising, but it grabs hard when you wanna go. It'll bark the tires good when you hit second.

The interior in this car gives it a nice sporty feel. The gauges are laid out nicely, and everything is straight to the point. No nonsense. Both seats are comfortable, and the lack of a back seat doesn't bother me at all.

This vehicle handles like a dream! The low, wide stance, and short wheel base make driving this car incredibly fun.

The car also looks fantastic. Its sleek profile makes it an incredibly fast-looking vehicle, and the rear just screams "sport."

All in all, this is a great car and I'll probably never get rid of it.

Faults:

Nothing. I just bought the car 3 weeks ago.

General Comments:

Be careful when buying a CRX most of them have been abused and crashed.

Looks gorgeous.

For a 15 year old 1.6 engine its very fast and has decent amounts of torque (especially for a honda).

It's a back to the basics car. No AC, no power steering, but that only makes the car lighter and adds to the characher of the CRX.

The combination of bucket seats and hard ride makes the car unsuited for driving in less than perfect roads.

The car is only 137 BHP however on the CRX this seems like much more due to its lightness. Which also makes this car very conservative with fuel.

Downside of the lightness is that in a crash the CRX is the last car I want to be in.

Roadholding is very good.

Faults:

Seats have worn on drivers side, but not too badly.

Problems with suspension and breaks, more to do with previous owners than the cars fault.

General Comments:

Very good looking car that has always and will always turn heads.

Plenty of room in the front, but the back seats are very small so are not really suitable for long journeys. The inside as a whole is nicely set out and does not look as dated as other cars of its time.

It’s practical around town with good fuel consumption and being easy to park. The boot is bigger than it looks like its going to be from the outside and when you put the back seats down a surprisingly large amount can be fitted in. The suspension is fairly hard which makes looking out for and avoiding pot holes second nature after a while.

Once out on the open roads it really does what it was made to do very well. It accelerates reasonably well from low revs and then when it reaches 5500rpm it switches to VTEC which is very loud and exciting. It will then rev past 8000rpm pulling hard all the way. It handles very well with little body roll through corners.

Definitely worth getting one, but make sure your patient and look out for a good one or you could regret it.

Faults:

Head gasket blew at 35,400 k average maintain, drove great!

Faults:

Rust on sunroof. That's it.

General Comments:

This car has never ever broken down, nothing has gone wrong and everything is still original. It is very, very fast if you use the revs, past 5500rpm everything goes mad. The problem is, no one drives like that all the time, and at low revs it really struggles. I can't help thinking my old 1.4 Opel Kadett would out-accelerate it from 2000rpm.

Front seats move far back, good for tall drivers, but you'll still find your shin banging on the sharp edged centre console. Gearshift feels flimsy and imprecise, but the clutch and brake pedals feel superb. Brakes work very well with very little fade. Massive grip levels, but the ride is hard and the car gets twitchy if you push it. If it lets go, there will be no time to catch this one. Steering is wonderful.

Still looks modern after 15 years, and still goes like stink if you rev it, but the complete lack of torque is so irritating that I'd hate to drive one every day. This is a car for having some fun with in the middle of the night, during the day it just frustrates me. Typically Japanese, this car is the sum of its parts and no more. Charm is nowhere to be found.
