1989 Honda CRX HF review from North America
"No stock factory car is better on gas than this one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nuthin' yet, besides a normal tune up.
General comments?
Great car. Extremely high gas mileage (best I ever got with 93 octane was 75.9 miles per US gallon.)
All buttons work, including air and aftermarket CD.
Lotsa road noise, but hey, this thing is a gas can on wheels!
Got some rust, but I only paid $1300 for it.
Kinda fun to use the air conditioning and still get 55+ miles per gallon.
BTW, does anyone think that the new Honda Insight is a rehashed battery powered CRX?
