1989 Honda CRX Si review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great. Love it. Fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator brushes wore out recently.
Other than that, nothing but the usual wear and tear - it's still got low mileage on the clock.
General comments?
Pretty quick car for a 1.6. I wish it was a Vtec, but oh well.
Great on gas if taking it easy. Chews it if pushed hard.
It's been modified. K&N air filter, 2.5 inch big bore, Coby exhaust, front and rear strut bars (great for going around corners faster), lowered, mags, tints, alarm and twin immobilizer. Cool little silver tribal grim reaper on back windscreen too.
