1990 Honda CRX 1.6 16valve review from UK and Ireland
"A pocket rocket"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The distributor/capacitor discharge ignition unit failed, causing the car to cut out for no unknown reason, it took us quite some time to find the fault and £350.00 was the cost of repair.
Front nearside suspension coil spring snapped, noticed when car was MOT tested. Handled fine, wouldn't have known if it hadn't been for the MOT.
It's getting quite old now and there are few odd spots of rust appearing especially around the rear wheel arches, but hey it's nearly twelve years old.
General comments?
Handles superb, with plenty of performance when you need it.
It puts a smile on your face every-time you get out of the car, It's just great fun to drive.
We have owned this car for six years and it is so reliable that it's untrue, we have had the odd problem, but nothing that we cannot put up with.
Getting a bit older ourselves now, making it a little bit more awkward getting in and out of the car.
