Strength:

Handles well, almost feels like an extension of your own body. Lots of power, picks up speed well. Looked great interior and exterior for an old car.

Weakness:

Rust. I had no back seat and a lot of friends so it wasn't convenient

My first car. Absolutely amazing especially because I paid so little for it. It was a very fun car to drive, I found that it picked up speed very easily. Handled well and I could manuever it into the tightest spots. I was forced to give it up because I was moving and couldn't take it with me but I regret that decision everyday. That was a great car. The only problem I had was that it had quite a bit of rust when I got it but it was fine once I cleared that.

Strength:

Most definitely the handling, cargo space, fuel efficiency, and looks. Looks like a sharp knife ready to carve out the road.

Weakness:

Torque, torque, torque. Although I have posted a 15.8 1/4 mile time at 86MPH. Not bad for a mostly stock 14 year old motor.

I bought my CRX from a friend of mine back 98. At the time of purchase it had 113,000 miles. I've always wanted A CRX since high school, and since I know my friend maintains the car, I thought this is my chance. It now has 138,000 on the orginal motor with simple modifications for better performance. I race the car on the weekends and show the car at local car shows. I love this car!!!I thought about trading it in a couple of years ago for an Integra, but I knew I couldn't part with the CRX. People who have had CRX's or always wanted one, to this day always ask me if I am selling it. I am one of the lucky ones. The few and proud CRX owner.

Strength:

GREAT GAS MIL., VERY DEPENDABLE, GOOD SOUND SYSTEM, LOTS OF LEG ROOM, SPORTY AND MANUEVERABLE, CAN'T SAY ENOUGH

Weakness:

LITTLE RUST, TOP OF THE RADIATOR IS PLASTIC AND CAN CRACK EASILY (HAD TO REPLACE MINE), OVERALL IT HAS BEEN AN AWSOME CAR AND STILL RUNS AS GOOD AS THE DAY I BOUGHT IT

My CRX Si has been a great car!!..I've had it for 6 years now and only spent about 1200$ on it. I chaged the clutch,radiator and the brakes and that's about it!! It has 186000miles on it now and i just bought a new vehicle but still have it cause it's so dependable. It was the best investment i've ever made. My wife wants me to sell it but i have no idea what it's worth.

IT'S A GREAT CAR. I bought my car w/ 117,000 miles for $5000.00. When the (stupid man hit me) I had 227,000 miles on my car and his insurance settled w/ 3600.00. The care didn't lose much of its value. I had that car for five years and only spent about $800.00 in up keep. I loved that care w/ all my heart. Never put me down and always was ready to go. It truely was a part of our family. Anyone who has driven or is driving one now you can relate to my story. Everytime I see one on the road I just stop and stare. No one wants to sell. I wish Honda would come out with them again.. One last dance.

Weakness:

rusts easy

I have loved hondas for a long time and the crx caught my eye and i wanted one ever since. now i finally have one i found it online and it was by detriot about 275 miles from my house but i figured it was worth the drive. when i got there i looked at it and it was rough im talkin rus, dents, leaky radiator, no blinkers and even bad cv joints you name it it had it, i was think maybe i shouldnt get this one till i waled around to the back and saw the good old trusty SI badge then i was like ill take it. I looked at the odometer it said 261000 i was like damn the i looked at the speedo and it said 200 i then relized it was a canada car and everything was in kilometers i drive it all the way home on less than 10 dollars in gas and havent complained yet. I LOVE THIS CAR!

Model Reviewed: civic crx hf

Strength:

extremely reliable and dependable car. outstanding gas mileage and handling. this is without a doubt the best car i have ever owned, and at 56, i have owned alot of cars. most of the parts are still original. i have repaced the radiator, battery several times, brakes redone at 157,000, timing chain around 125,000. i do not change oil/filter to every 7-10,000 miles.

Weakness:

with only 62 hp, it is a little slow to get up to speed, but the 43 mpg more han offsets that. i have some rust, but i live on the beach so that is to be expected.

i bought this car new. it now has over 287,000 miles and still runs great. i average about 43 mpg. i bought a 2001 civic hx 1 1/2 yrs ago and while it has more power, it only averages 38 mpg. if crx's were still available, i would have bought another one.

Model Reviewed: CRX DX

Strength:

tasteful styling, reliability, handling, mileage (35mpg with sticky tires), space (how about a 14-kit drum set and two comfortable people?!?), value, available accessories

Weakness:

The head gaskets tend to wear out in extreme cold temperatures just like all cars with aluminum head/cast iron block engines. Watch for misaligned headlights (easiest way to spot accidents) and fender rust if you're buying.

This car has to be the best-designed car in the world. It is the perfect mix of practicality, sportiness, and potential. And the fact that its reliability is STILL nearly bulletproof twelve years later is icing on the cake! I have 207,000 miles on mine and it still runs smoother than any new car and doesn't leak anywhere. And that's in Alaska without a garage.

Strength:

roomy, lightweight, handles great and most of all it´s powerful

Weakness:

sunroof tends to clog up and leak.hatch pumps blow very quickly(twice in 6months)

i bought my crx a few months back...and what i like about it were the ratios between money and hp´s. i´ve got a 91"1,6l v-tec which comes stock at a 158 hp and weighing under a 1000kgs it´s a wild ride... i think i´m gonna keep this car a little while longer... wouldn´t you

Strength:

Just enough HP to pull the car. Awesome handling not to mention the gas mileage.

Weakness:

Seats only two but who needs a four seater if your only goin to work or school.

Great car!!! Very fast for only 92 HP. Easy to drive. I love this car I had to buy another. I have 178000 on my 89 and 189000 on my 88. Both run great. I only had a tune up and frequent oil changes and it runs like new. Swap any B series motor into this car and boom, performance is boosted.
