1989 Honda CRX 1.6 16v review from UK and Ireland
"Honda bring these cars back!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing much more than the usual wear and tear brakes, radiator CV joints etc. I can't complain it is 14 years old now. Dealer is expensive so avoid. On shopping around (it takes some amount of looking some of the parts!) you can get parts for a great deal less than what the dealer is asking.
General comments?
Same as most CRX's out there the rust is starting to take hold around the rear arches wings etc, shame you can't buy these cars from Honda anymore or I would be slamming a deposit down right now for another one. Seats are great, really comfortable and I recon this is probably one the best front wheel drive cars you can find. It doesn't hurt the wallet to drive it either mine returns around 42mpg. Its always good at keeping the boy racers at bay as well will beat any corsa or astra GSI / SRI. Reliable too, so far done 176K miles and it always starts first time every time.
