1990 Honda CRX review from UK and Ireland
"Style with power and economy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only one fault - the distributor failed, very expensive at the time, but the car has more than made up for it.
The front springs cracked, but this was due to a very deep rut on road works on a German autobahn. And great speed!!!
General comments?
A pleasure to own, always reliable, have travelled much of Europe with this car. The best car ever to tour the Austrian Alps with. Does not like French very low grade unleaded though (but what car does?)
A really good car for the single person, even at ten years old I think it has more style than many new cars. Still manages to look modern, more than can be said for the likes of Ford Escorts XR3i's etc.
A very quick car and yet manages to remain economical. The one slightly down side of the car would be the noise levels at autobahn speeds.
