1987 Honda Civic CRX Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Alright, 87 Honda Crx Si, this car ahd to be one of the best cars Honda had ever made at the time. Their were Beating on Porsche 944 in the Racing scene back in the 80's. Even tho they had the power and felt like a race car, it still got great gas mileage. It takes 15 bucks to fill this car up with Gas and it last long. These cars are really fun to drive because they have so much power for having a little 1.5 Ew4 d15a3 engine. This car hasnt needed any engine repairs since ive had it in 2000. And for my car being in a few accidents from previous owners and its still holding up its a great car to have. Also, these cars have a mind of their own!Mar 13, 2011

For a 24-year-old car that has been primarily an autocrosser since 1997, it's doing fantastic. Amlost 200,000 km and it (amazingly for a Honda) burns no oil. My CRX (a Canadian-market 1.5) is a non-emissions-equipped carbureted model with a 2-barrel Keihin carb and no catalytic converter. This car, even though it is a racer, is incredibly cheap to run. Mileage is awesome; C$30.00 fills the tank from empty and I regularly see 325-350 km per tank in city driving. On the highway mileage increases by almost 30%. Typical for a Honda, the maintenance requirements are almost non-existent. The car cost me $1000 to purchase and, despite having sat for two years before my purchase, only cost me $300 to put back on the road. This CRX is a blast to drive. I have owned over 35 cars and this is one of the most fun cars I have ever had. It is beginning to rust (again) and will need some floor repairs after this winter but overall I can see me having this car for yers to come.Sep 18, 2010

I had an si model in Rio Red and it was a blast to drive. Its cornering ability was simply amazing. It could whip around corners and the rear end held every time. It could have used more horsepower and driving it during a snowstorm in Alaska was an experience - but with snow tires it actually got around pretty well. It had one odd problem that I was never able to solve. Somehow water leaked into the car and pooled up on the floor behind the passenger seat. During a heavy rainstorm the water got deep enough to start leaking into the computer mounted under the passenger seat. After driving it for ten years and 151,000 miles I sold it to a mechanic at the local Honda dealership. He couldn't find the source of the leak either. Jun 22, 2010

$300 beater that i bought shortly after selling wagon. powered by same 1.5 SOHC 12V carb inline 4. low on power, but also low on weight. car is very very peppy for its low power output (close ratio five speed) dependable car until the head eventually blew and cracked. Great interior layout, but very spartan. reasonable nimble handling, but limited by prehistoric suspension set up (torson bars) cheap insurance, cheap parts, reliable honda. Rusts kills it and also poor maintenance. easy to find this car on the road, as CRXes in general are quite rare... first gens are even rarer. declining numbers due to rust best to purchase 1.5 Si (injection) model over the S (carb)Mar 18, 2010

This car truly handles like a toy ! It's incredibly light so the acceleration is really impressive. It's an old car but it's well built and being behind the wheel makes you smile ! You have to try this tiny funny car ! There is no air con., no electric windows/mirrors, but this makes the car really light and thrilling to drive ! 130HP / 850kg = great fun !!! When swapped with a stronger engine (180hp), it becomes a ROCKET !! Try it, and you'll want one, trust me ;)Nov 25, 2008

This car is all about lightness and agility! It's simply the best handling car I've ever driven. Turns can be sharp and quick, with minimal understeer, and surprising stability. The low stance of this car lets you know exactly what its engineering will allow you to do. If I could find a 1991 CRX Si in decent condition, that would be one of my first tuning projects. I learned to drive in this car, and from day one until the day the engine seized on the freeway, I loved it! The engine's demise was not my fault, by the way...my dad was driving it...I still can't forgive him for forgetting to change oil =PMar 14, 2008
