1985 Honda CRX review from North America
"High performance, fun-to-drive, fuel efficient car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor body problem - trim coming off, front air dam coming off. Cheap and easy to fix.
Seats worn a bit.
Clutch cable mounting plate at firewall broke. Caused clutch to become inoperable and had to replace plate and clutch cable.
New clutch at 240000 kms.
General comments?
This car is really fun to drive, fast, comfortable for tall people (I'm 6'2") and very fuel efficient. (I get about 40 mpg)
Large cargo area in hatch is more than enough for anything you want to pack for a long trip.
