I have had to do some minor engine repairs.
I have replaced the muffler 3 times since I got it.
The body has not held up well to Canadian winters. It is rusting in several spots including the fenders.
I have replaced the CV joints twice and will have to do so again soon.
This car has heaps of power and when you punch the gas, it really hauls. Passing on the highway is no problem and it will carry you up a steep hill easily in 3rd or even 4th gear. The steering used to be crisp and responsive, but has started to become a little wishy-washy lately. It is still quite responsive although it doesn't handle really well in the snow. I have done many long trips in it and have had no complaints about being sore by the end of the trip. The only real disadvantage is that it is only a two seater so carrying more than one passenger isn't really an option, but I guess if you want to carry people, buy a minivan. When the back cover is folded down there is ample storage space, enough for 2 mountain bikes.
This was originally posted in 2002 but I am responding about the steering issue in case future Crx owners run into this problem. If your Crx's steering is becoming loose, not as tight/sharp as it used to be, please replace the inner and outer tie-rods. Hope this helps!
