Honda CRX 1.6 ESi 2d (1993/K) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
For just £2k, it'll turn every head, get one with extras such as air con, it's a convertible, but sitting in traffic with a hot sun is lethal.
Costs
Guzzles fuel when pushed, mechanical parts cheap, bodywork expensive, group 14 insurance, not group 14 performance.

On the road
Driving
Harsh ride, good steering but understeers badly.
Performance
Good for summer cruising, it's no Ferrari, and even lowly Clios can take it. I had a lighter flywheel fitted to increase the acceleration. Next to no torque.

Living with it
Reliability
I have had a new engine, and new a few bits, but none the cars fault, it starts no matter what.
Image
Looking slightly dated, but still holding well. Avoid red, green and silver for best looks.
Comfort
Nice seats, poor headrests that don't adjust, steering rack raises and lowers.

Security and Service
Security
Came with no alarm, and only 4 pins hold the roof on. I have a Cat1 alarm and top of the range steering lock.
Service
Very helpful, pricing high but service makes up for that.
