1989 Honda CRX review from UK and Ireland
"Superb, brilliant, amazing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Normal wear and tear.
New bearings in the gearbox, c`mon check the mileage!!
General comments?
The CRX is an amazing car, I`ve had mine for nearly 5 years and I still love it to pieces, I`ve dropped it 60mm and put 16in alloys on it. It looks so sweet and there are not many other cars out there in the same price range that will keep up! Even the RS Turbo`s and Golf GTi`s!!!
Even though it`s a two seater there is plenty of room up front, (I`m 6ft4) and although there is only a bench in the back I have managed to get 5! people in the car, granted it was a bit of a squeeze!!
Petrol consumption is OK although if you are going to drive it hard (which it is hard not to!!!) you're going to be dropping down to the low 20`s.
In general, the car is amazing for the money, even if it cost three times as much! I recommend it to anybody out there (who is not starting a family that is!) looking for a reliable, fast, stylish, individual and future classic, car.
