Great Fun For A Fwd. Don't Crash It, You Will Lose. — Fun little car, good on gas. Car would be a ton more fun with a B16 swap, but was great in the corners. Better in the corners than the '85 vette as a matter of fact. Enough room me (6'2") even though I am sure I looked ridiculous getting in and out.

Glad It Went Boom — It sucked! Never buy a used Honda that blows blue smoke. (I bought it with a cracked head from a pretty well known dealership... to say the least, I took it back and got to pick a different car.) Have your mechanic check out anything you buy used no matter where you buy it.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

1985 Crx Si — Got amazing mileage, fuel injected, ultra lightweight, tons of space. Understeers quite a bit, but what do you expect? This was my first car, which ended up costing my dad about $350 for the whole thing, haha. Might be getting my hands on another one...?

This Is A Decent Car, Great Fuel Milage! — Overall this car is a easy car, great fuel milage, easy to modify, but has a bad rust problem on the tub, so theres a problem. It can get up and go when it needs to and isn't half bad looking either

Sips gas, goes really fast, a wonderful car for curvy roads.

So Small And Light That The Moped Engine Could Still Keep Up With The Best Of Them. — Dad's second crisis car. Quick, quick, quick! Fun to drive and drive hard. Great milage. I'm still not sure why we ever got rid of the car other than high miles.
