appearance- all the body is recently done along with new original paint
cost- the car was only 800 but i put about 8000 into it and it was worth every penny:)
fun factor- my car beats vipers so if you wanna race then lets do it

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

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.

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.

Pros — Cars MaAaAd LIGHT!! 2100 pounds
2 Seaters RUles!!
The Hf can get almost 50 mpg, while the si gets around 30
Cons — STOCK MOTORS SUCK
Did kinda bad on the safety tests
Not for tall people, unless you have racing seat :-D

nice enthusiasts' car. +/-30 mpg and plenty of zip, great for a late 80s ride! Not to mention it's sexy as hell.

Pros — interior room, handling, reliable, platform potential
Cons — weight distribution, front wheel drive

It had 236,000 miles on the car, and we dyno'd it.  It measured 100 hp at the wheels.  That  
means that after that many miles the engine was solid as ever.

Pros — Gas mileage, speed
Cons — small :)
