1987 Honda CRX Si review from North America

Pipes cracked only because they were unused for about a year.

Burns oil, but after 200000 miles what car wouldn't?

The suspension has started to get stiff, and you can feel almost every bump on the road.

Some of the floor has been eaten away.

There's no real major problems with the car, I'm very glad to own it.

This car is awesome, I bought it from my dad's friend in January. He was going to donate it to get it smashed, but I heard about it and offered to buy it.

He bought it back in 1987 brand new, drove it like a maniac for 21 years. I offered him $50 for it and he said I could just have it. When I got it, it hadn't been driven in a whole year, so it needed a new battery, oil change, oil filter, air filter, new spark plugs, and a new window shield, all of which I did myself, and that cost me about $500.

Once I got it started, it's always ready to go. There is no squeaking, screeching or and strange noises (except for the bumps). It still gets about 27/45 mpg average, which saves me a lot of money.

This is my first car and I plan on driving it until it dies. It's fast, fun, handles turns great, and I can fit it anywhere. My friends always give me a hard time about how small it is, but I really don't care. Who else gets a reliable gas saver for $500?

The car hasn't had any problems, yet. I plan on getting some work in on it this summer. I've had some fun with it so far; on 250000 miles it's still able to do a burnout. The only bad part I have to say is that I can't drive my friends anymore, because it only has 2 seats.
