I used to have a '90 CRX Si, red. Great gas mileage, decent performance for stock. I just sold it 2 years ago, and it was a rare one that was rust free. Only couple rock chips in hood and couple small door dings, but no rust around the rear wheel openings. Interior was perfect shape. But, I spent more money repairing the mechanics on that things than any of my 6 other GM cars I've had combined. 2 distributers, igniter, coil, wheel bearings, clutch, 3 sets of axles, which I found out after I sold it to a friend for $2k, that the diff was busted. Plus the maintenance itemsA month after I sold to him the diff locked up pulling into his driveway. I had a spare engine and trans that I gave to him. He fixed it, then about a month after that he came out of the mall, and found it underneath an S10 blazer. I guess it was raining, and 2 ladies, one in an Astro and one in an Expedition were going to fast, hit each other, and pushed his CRX under the blazer. Insurance gave him $3700 for it, after he just bought it a couple months earlier from me for $2k. Either way, if I could find another one in as good exterior condition as the one I had I would buy it and swap the motor of course.

From what I hear, it's pretty rare to have lots of mechanical problems with a CRX. Most of the time, they're worry-free as long as they're well-maintained. It is a Honda, after all.

Re: Your opinion: are CRX's ugly?

personally, i think that the crx is awesome. I think that it has very contemporary lines that make it look less like a fourteen-year old design, and more like a current model. I love the lines of the hood and fenders, and I don't even mind the flat rear deck. It handles great, it's super light, it's easy to insure, and it's good on gas, what else can anyone want? In my opinion, anyone who clowns on the CRX is just jealous that they don't have one, and that they're driving some POS domestic!!

ps girlsrace2, where are you in ohio? I'm in Louisville, KY...

Any chance I can get one of those? It'd make the college commute a lot more interesting.

Re: Your opinion: are CRX's ugly?

i think the crx is an awesom car and the hatch is great as well, i own an 88 dx hatch and it is the best handling car i have ever owned, it will be one of the fastest i have owned once it gets the b18b swap done to it with it's jackson racing supercharger it will blow suv's and truck out of the water

Re: Your opinion: are CRX's ugly?

Ok nobody flame me but I think stock CRX's are ugly. Only body kits I like are the Wings West and the Black Widow (Which i'll be ordering soon). I think they're good being light and everything and totally versatile. I just dont like the stock look, if it wasnt for the flat back on the rear of the vehicle, ALOT of people would like them... Hell my mom thinks its ugly cuz of that, my best friend, hmm who else ? >.< sucks but once i get the kit, its like bling blingin with my 17's BAGGED!!!!
