1988 Honda CRX Si review from North America

"This car is forced to be reckon with"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I first got the car, the alternator was bad, so the guy that owned it, subtracted the original amount so that I can fix the alternator.

Replaced the timing belt and water pump. It didn't break, I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't if I was driving.

Distributor broke when I first got the car. I accidentally hit the curb while backing up, but either than that, if you take care of it real well, nothing really bad will happen to it.

And of course, the typical maintenance, like brake pads were also replaced.

General comments?

I remember when I was 14 years old, I used to ride in the back of my brother in law's crx (which I own now) and I just fell in love with the car. He had a swapped engine which was an Integra Ls. It pulled!!

So after dealing with a 1986 Celica Gt-s, I wanted a reliable car, but I had a tight budget. Right when I was about to buy a cheap car, my brother in law told me about the crx (which he had sold to his friend Chris). Sooner or later, it was mine for only $1800. The car had 172,000 miles on it. It still pulls, and it hogs the ground and it is such a light car that it can take any car on the road! But... It recently got stolen. I wish I still had the car and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Cheap car, great gas mileage and great looking if plan to fix up.
