1991 Honda CRX DX review from North America
"A quick fuel efficient car making it a bargain of a used car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the radiator.
Had to replace the clutch at 165,000.
Replaced ignition module and coil at 160000.
Ignition switch needs replacement.
Valve stem seals need replacement.
General comments?
It is extremely fuel efficient averaging about 41 MPG.
Also for a 92HP motor the car is fairly quick, keeping up with my 96 Integera up until it reaches the high RPM ranges.
The car handles extremely well, making it a joy to drive on windy roads.
Although its not a large car the storage capacity is immense making road trips for two or grocery shopping a breeze.
Maintenance costs are getting to be pricey because of the cost of honda parts, but considering it's an old car, it has been pretty average in reliability.
The engine is strong running even with it pushing 200000 miles making it seem that it will run forever.
Another thing I'm surprised with is even though it is a small car, the engine compartment allows a fair amount of room to work with.
