1987 Honda CRX Si review from Australia and New Zealand
"It is quick, fun and sexy."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator replaced on the second day of ownership.
The tailgate used leaked water whenever it rained heavily.
General comments?
The car looks sexy and is a timeless piece of machinery.
The engine just loves to rev out and is very responsive and quick, especially for its age.
Handling is awesome and it is a whole lot of fun to drive especially when you are cornering.
Parts for the car is a bit expensive when it comes to replacing things, but there is a lot of aftermarket modifications available especially the engine and body styling departments.
The cabin is a bit small, but it is enough just for two people and everything is in arms reach of the driver.
Even though the car is over 16 years old, it is still a head turner and many people, especially the ladies still think it is a hot sexy car.
