1988 Honda Civic CRX Reviews
| “2nd Gen Crx Was The Best!” Best little damn car ever! I always had the si's - Recaro seats with side bolsters, great ergonomics - handles like a go cart - fantastic gas mileage.... FUN FUN FUN! I had 4 of them over a period of several years, (2nd gen - 88 - 91) and may go back again! (it's an illness other CRX fans may understand!) Also - they are great for sound systems because of the tight quarters. :) 88 was the only year that didn't have the passive restraint attached to the door - it weighed less, and was the best for a track car..... but the 90 and 91 had disc brakes all around.... their all good, though!
Pros —
small, nimble, economical, ergonomic, attractive, fun
Cons —
front wheel drive

| “Handled Like A Dream” Unfortunately I only had the DX model, so performance wasn't really one of the cars highlight. However, as far as handling goes, it was amazing. When you look at the car you'd think wow that car is really small and probably a death trap. On the contrare, after going through an 8in in diameter fence post and then head on into abuot a 3ft in diameter oak tree, the car only had the front right side of the car all messed up. Well and some of the undercarriage from the fence post going up under the car.
Pros —
Handling: absolutely amazing. Interior: sporty look and feel Gas Mileage: got amazing gas mileage, anywhere between 35-40mpg
Cons —
Hatch: rear struts tend to blow out. Engine: only a 1.5L 4 cyl. that puts out under 100hp, engine swap definitely recomended, not necessarily needed, for performace.

| “A Little Car With Alot Of Potential” Many people love the crx for its lightweight body and great gas mileage. This is a unique car because it can be swapped with any other Honda motor to make big power out of a small car. Its a great project car and for a car thats worth a grand, id says its worth it.
