3rd Gear would not stay in gear when I bought it, but it came with a functioning transmission in the back. Apparently the guy before me was drag racing it.
The ignition switch was a bit worn and temperamental, but after I took the dash out and cleaned it, it worked fine. Would be an expensive fix if it were done in a shop. ~$200.
Quite fast for the gas mileage.
Showing a good deal of wear after 24 years, but nothing major mechanically.
Very dependable; aside from the ignition switch there's been nothing that I needed to fix. There are the usual things you'd expect after 24 years, (old battery had to be replaced, coolant, tires, some interior things) but that aside, it's a very reliable car.
Fun and versatile; it can be a little monster, or a gas sipper, depending on your mood.
Handles very well.
Couldn't resist chiming in. I love the Honda CRX. I have had two or so, and... words can scarcely express. But I did, after some infrequent starting problems, and the odd stall on of the highway, spend a hot, rainy morning (read: with doors and windows closed) at a rest stop, alone with my CRX, my Leatherman, and some paper towels and glass cleaner, disassembling cleaning and resurfacing the contacts of my ignition switch. We've done alright with that since then.
