1988 Honda CRX HF review from North America
"My Honda may outlast me!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought at 150k miles
175k miles had to fix the brakes and clutch (worn out)
215k miles replaced one CV joint (did both at same time though)
250k miles battery died pushed the car down hill and started it then bought a $40 battery
310k miles still going strong and even the a/c still works.
General comments?
Just like my 275k mile 85 prelude before they've lasted me forever. Fun to drive and I enjoy the SUV slalom on the way to work while getting 40+ mpg. The engine is only 63 hp, but in a 2,000 lb car it still moves pretty quick. I added some larger steel wheels to the car and it can ashame most sports cars on the road.
