Normal wear and tear.
New bearings in the gearbox, c`mon check the mileage!!
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.

6 months into my first CRX and WOW!!! What a car. Honda were way ahead of their time when they created this car. The engine is fantastic, electric sunroof, electric windows, electric mirrors, brilliant sports seats, comfy, economical (full tank costs around £30 max and will give you around 280-300 miles, unless driven hard) and real easy and cheap to modify tastefully.
The only downsides are rust and high mileage. Look around for a good one as rust is this cars worst enemy, main areas around the rear arches, top of windscreen and the sunroof. As for mileage, Honda engines are made from materials we don't have on this planet yet, bullet proof, so don't be afraid of cars with 140k on the clock.
I have a 16v which is amazing, Fast, usable and surprisingly cheap to buy and insure, a decent 16v can be found for around £1200 but be aware that decent doesn't mean perfect. Vtec and SiR models are more highly sought after and cost anything between £2000 for a reasonable example up to £4000 for an imported SiR.
Worth every penny, buy one NOW!
