1988 Honda CRX HF review from North America
"A truly economical sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had no real problems with original 62 horsepower engine or the recently installed ZC engine.
General comments?
I've always been a fan of Honda's superior engineering. I've previously owned a 1977 Civic and a 1980 Accord - both were great cars.
My CRX is fast and reliable, handles well, has plenty of interior space, and still gets great gas mileage. From time to time I think about replacing it with something newer, but always come to the conclusion that my CRX fills my transportation, and entertainment needs quite well.
