Great performance, decent fuel economy, fun to drive. Pity it had been abused, but still ran well for the most part. Got pretty rust, had some squeaks and rattles. I would love to have had it in better condition, though.Feb 15, 2010

40 words about Rex hmmmm It a decent car... It has a lot of potential. If the guy Josh bought it from wasnt such a Dbag it would be a pretty sweet car. This is the car I learned how to drive stick in and it got me hooked.Dec 06, 2009

Was a good car for the short term process. Made the trip up to the Okanagan, which will go down in history as a complete disaster. This was a great card to drive, good handling and acceleration for the year. Brand new it would have been fun.Nov 01, 2009

Performance - There was non, it has a 1.5L 4 cylinder that was gutless Build - It was pretty tough in general, i slid off in a ditch at 80 almost flipped, started it up and drove out, so I'd say it was pretty tough. Appearance - This car was Fugly! No doubt about it, but it was transportation non the less.Jul 16, 2009

I LOVED THIS CAR. Says it all really. The engine was awsome, the way it just kept revving. Handling was great as it was such a light car and it was well put together but you expect the with Jap motors. If I could find a good one, I would have another.May 10, 2009

There were 2 models - the 1.6 and the V-TEC. There was only about 10 BHP difference between the two models. Common issues with the car was body work rust, areas in particular that were a problem were the rear wheel arches and the sun roof. There was also issues with the spark ignitor on this model, but a reasonable cheap thing to fix. Of its time it was the fastest standard 1.6 on the market. Would easily reach 130mph. It would handle like a roller skate, a little pocket rocket!Sep 08, 2008

This car is a sport compact classic! Super reliable, awesome gas mileage, fun to drive. I have own this thing for 8 years and never had any mayor problems. If you can find one in good condition buy it! I recommend the Si model but any other model with the 5 speed tranny. Aug 31, 2008

I hate the fact that it has terrrible headlights. It has poor quality on the pressure tubes to trunk. Could be a little more sportscar look on the outside.As for the inside Its dashboard looks like the one who designed it was having a really bad day on his job.Aug 26, 2008

I only had it for a short amount of time but it was a fun sporty car that got killer gas mileage. It felt firm on the road and was like driving a fast go cart because it was so low to the ground. Ran like a champ and never really needed anything.Aug 20, 2008

This is a great little car. The gas mileage is great and gets up and goes. Its alittle small on interior room, but its cheap and a great tuner car to race. I love driving it its like a touring car great around turns. There are so many after market parts for them and you get the reliability of the honda name.Aug 13, 2008

Awesome handling, very quick, and cheap to maintain. Makes an excellent project car to make it look fast and actually be fast. Fun to drive. There are parts everywhere for these cars and you can buy them in decent condition for dirt cheap. Seems like you're driving a big go-cart, it's awesome.Aug 01, 2008

Had the Euro 1.6-16 - the 16v DOHC (D16 or ZC engine) in the UK - good for 130 hp which in a car this size was'nt bad . Superb grip and pretty good handling from double wishbone suspension all round. Good fun to drive - these little Hondas love to be revved hard. Very popular in autocross in the US and when modified make great track cars. VTEC was 30hp more (UK version) but the added weight of aircon and power steering made the cars perform pretty equally on a circuit. Great trackday car!Jun 19, 2008

everything form the HF to the Si gets good gas mileage, some better than the others. The CRX platform is a very interesting looking car that most people seem to love, kids like the "Matchbox" look, girls think its cute, and guys can't get past the great performance. The Honda engines are rock solid and supply more than enough grunt to pull along these little cars. The transmissions are geared pretty steep, but the still do well on long distance highway trips. The handling of the CRX is amazing! The short wheelbase and lightweight make it an ideal car for short, quick turns such as in autocross. Since most of the weight is on the front of the vehicle (around 55-60% of it) the crx can also kick out the rear end while doing some high speed turns, which is a blast for more experienced drivers. The interior is tastefully done for a 1980's vehicle and is host to many storage compartments, some of which even lock.Feb 19, 2008

Performance, Handling and economy all in one little package. Makes good use of avaiable space. 143mph, 55mpg, just not at the same time! once timed this car downhil 0-60 5.5! Jan 14, 2008

This car is hardly to compare with the original CRX because lots of technical mods have been made. In terms of reliability, I had some problems (broken brake-hose because of the extreme suspension, problems with the ignition), but I always used to forget these things very fast because my ED9 was such a nice and fast car that caused me so much driving pleasure.

My buddies car, I tried to learn standard on it but realized I suck at it. Its body was covered in the plague (rust). He had lots of issues with it, engine swap old one was burning oil, gas tank leaked. However it was fun to drive in once he had the new engine, other boy racers always tried to race him not knowing the new engine was way more powerful then the last. Great memories in this thing, it will be missed.Dec 11, 2007
