1988 Honda CRX HF review from North America
"Excellent buy, great gas mileage, chick-magnet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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!
