1991 Honda Civic CRX Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Overall This is a really good car. The performance is there when you need it and has excellent gas mileage even when racing. The handling is great turns on a dime and stops on one too. Getting up to speed is no problem and has a great power to weight ratio. The Build quality is medium just for the fact that this car has been pieced together between various cars.This is soon to be fixed and the overall appearance is medium just needs some new paint and a little body work. This car is really fun to drive and I would recommend this car to everyone that is looking for a true sport compact. Jan 31, 2011

It is a smart peppy little car with great handling and performance Mine is the SiR so plenty of power throw a little money at it and you wont be disappointed. There's nothing like the sound of the Vtech kicking in at 4500RPM and the power serge that fallows. Whether you are a track day fan or just like to rip up the mountain roads this car is sure to excite the body. Nov 22, 2010

Performance-stock not to much. but considering it is a honda you can do just about anything to it. and performance is unlimited. Build-only problems I ever had was with the sunroof liking to leak. besides that it was golden. then again it is honda and they can last you forever. Appearance-she's not the best looking car out there but she isn't the ugliest out there either. Cost-cheap and easy to build. just about everything for the car can be found cheap. Fun Factor-with the right amount of money spent she can be the best car you'll ever drive. Feb 11, 2010

I love my CRX HF. But I hate the engine. The stock engine is a dog. Cannot travel well in the mountains. Cheap to run though and really a blast to drive. Gets 50 MPG on the highway. Going to upgrade engine to a V- tech or a turbo engine. No parts availability for smog on standard engine. Developed idle problem and costs to fix is high. So Vtech here I come. Body has standard rust problems. Had to replace seats because of holes. Fun to work on though.Dec 26, 2009

I only wish Honda Continued making cars like this. Yes there are similarities in the 2000 Insight and the New 2009 Insight sedan but those two models is not as mught fun as the CRX. You can modified the CRX to endless possibilities. However I like mine stock as this CRX has personelly been tested ranging from 38 MPG CITY and 62 MPG HIGHWAY. The New 2009 CRX Cannot beat that MPG. I think I read an Article from Automobile May-July 2009 magazine reviewed the Original CRX HF 1984 vs. 2009 Insight. They said the original CRX HF gets better MPG than the new 2009 Insight. Although weight plays another part. Since 1985 CRX HF only weighs 1,700 lbs vs 3,000 lbs 2009 Insight.Aug 12, 2009

Performance is great : well balanced, good braking, and with 3.2 bhp per pound it's FAST! Build quality : Intricate parts are really good, bodywork = a bit to thin, interior looks like the cockpit from an airplaine! Cost of ownership : It has good mileage but like with any fast car it takes a bit of maintenance on replaceable parts. Fun factor : 11/10 :D Jul 13, 2009

This is my second CRX Mk-ll that had for bout 4yrs (1st was bit rusty) 89) Amazing little motor, that good between myself & few mates we`ve owned 2 Mk-l, 3 Mk-ll 16v, 2 Mk-ll VT that we swapped/sold over past 10 yrs. Even tho this model is 20 yrs old it still fits in the times of 2day! can get anything from 230miles-350miles per tank (from Kaining it - long distance) as for the fun factor of this car is like driving a Go-Kart that can nicely potter alongMar 05, 2009

I love my CRX. The handling is incredible, the acceleration could use a little work but thats what you get with 287000mi on the engine. The frame is strong but the body likes to rust. The exterior design is sleek and sharp, the interior is nice but could use a little work also. The gas mileage is amazing, i love being able to go upwords of 250mi w/ one tank of gas. This car is so much fun to drive, especially in the snow.Feb 24, 2009

its pretty rusty, and the clutch and transaxle grinde abit but the build of the care is nice and it handles like a dream (i once took opposing 90's at 50 mph) accelleration is good but not great breaks veary well on stock brakes because it is so light after 17 years of solid use it just has some rust hondas are cheep to repair yourself in my opinion it gets about 40 mpg wich if friggen sweet and this car is super fun to driveNov 04, 2008

The tiny 2 door, 2 seater car more than exceeded my expectations. On top of being fairly quick, I got an average of 47 mpg. Being so small and lightweight, it handled like it was on rails. Like any other older Honda, they are very prone to rust around the quarter panels. My sunroof flew off while I was driving due to tripple digit speeds and rusted brackets. Apr 19, 2008

This car was light and low powered. 72 hp, but it sipped gasoline in an excelent way. The acceleration was about the same as a Civic. I wanted to put a decent engine in it, and with the lightest body you can find in a Honda, this thing would have flown. Unfortunatly, a terminal timing belt problem ended this car life and useability. Sold to some guy who had 5 CRX's and wanted a HF body to throw a JDM ZC engine in it.Feb 15, 2008
