There were 2 models - the 1.6 and the V-TEC. There was only about 10 BHP difference between the two models. Common issues with the car was body work rust, areas in particular that were a problem were the rear wheel arches and the sun roof. There was also issues with the spark ignitor on this model, but a reasonable cheap thing to fix. Of its time it was the fastest standard 1.6 on the market. Would easily reach 130mph. It would handle like a roller skate, a little pocket rocket!Sep 08, 2008

everything form the HF to the Si gets good gas mileage, some better than the others. The CRX platform is a very interesting looking car that most people seem to love, kids like the "Matchbox" look, girls think its cute, and guys can't get past the great performance. The Honda engines are rock solid and supply more than enough grunt to pull along these little cars. The transmissions are geared pretty steep, but the still do well on long distance highway trips. The handling of the CRX is amazing! The short wheelbase and lightweight make it an ideal car for short, quick turns such as in autocross. Since most of the weight is on the front of the vehicle (around 55-60% of it) the crx can also kick out the rear end while doing some high speed turns, which is a blast for more experienced drivers. The interior is tastefully done for a 1980's vehicle and is host to many storage compartments, some of which even lock.Feb 19, 2008

This car is hardly to compare with the original CRX because lots of technical mods have been made. In terms of reliability, I had some problems (broken brake-hose because of the extreme suspension, problems with the ignition), but I always used to forget these things very fast because my ED9 was such a nice and fast car that caused me so much driving pleasure.

My buddies car, I tried to learn standard on it but realized I suck at it. Its body was covered in the plague (rust). He had lots of issues with it, engine swap old one was burning oil, gas tank leaked. However it was fun to drive in once he had the new engine, other boy racers always tried to race him not knowing the new engine was way more powerful then the last. Great memories in this thing, it will be missed.Dec 11, 2007
