1991 Honda CRX 1.6i 16 review from Poland
"Small"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tachometer back-lighting, but it was easy and cheap to repair.
Sunroof was quite rusted so it had to be replaced.
General comments?
The CRX is incredibly quick and also very sensitive to the throttle. Because of it's low weight (only 910kgs) for the 130hp 1.6) it also reacts very quickly to every input.
Makes fabulous noise as it revs to the 7800rpm cut-off. And you have to rev it that high to extract maximum performance. Mine has been unofficially timed at 7.5sec. 0-100km/h.
The CRX also has some serious handling, but the hard suspension and not very soft sport seats will batter you in town.
Cabin spacious in the front, virtually no space in the back, but who would want to sit in the back anyway?
Trunk also tight, but combined with the rear seating space it is adequate for my needs.
It has some flaws, but it's awesome fun to drive and every time you drive it hard it puts a smile on your face.
