Honda CRX (1984 - 1992) 1.6i (130bhp) 3d (1990/H) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I wanted something rare! It's different, and always turned heads.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Girlfriend at the time loved it, called it "The spaceship". Mum felt the ride was a little harsh though.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, but I'd probably go for a V-Tec or SiR next time around.

What are you likely to buy next?

I bought french, argh!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£2,500

When did you buy the car?

August 2005

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, I bought it from a friend.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

One of my best mates so all good! Had to pick the car up from quite a fair way away though.

What's it like to drive?

No power steering, which drove me mad. But apart from that probably the best car I've owned. Loved the ride and always looked forward to giving it a good thrashing! More exciting than newer cars with 50bhp+ more.

What's it like to park?

Again, the no power steering made it hard.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Had a bump in the car and despite throwing nearly £1000 at it, the steering's never been the same again. Electric sunroof stopped working. Heating dials broke off. Boot never stayed open. Revving is erratic. Clutch went, and gearbox was worn (but it was on 90k miles).

What's most practical about your car?

Not much! Weren't too bad on petrol though.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Added on induction kit and exhaust and my god it sounding amazing and pulled very well! Best pull from any of it's rivals.
