Honda CRX

...would become mine: the 1991 Honda CRX. Now normally I was a stick-shift girl, having owned three consecutively, and I was noticeably disappointed when I noted the big knobby thing with a button on it protruding from the position where one would find the gears.. but I was a woman of the world and was willing to give it a go - and with absolutely no persuasion from the salesman I was buckled in and cruising around the streets for my (very extensive) ...
...can compare it to a Honda Civic (but with a flat behind) equipped with a smallish 1600cc engine with twin carbs, but when I say small this car could do 120km/hr and still be as smooth as 50km/hr - luckily it was a Japanese import and the little bell would go if I went over 110, it would have been so easy to do 140 without even knowing it!. A sporty car with two doors, and a very small back seat (a very soft leatherette) and a reasonable sized trunk ...

Review of Honda CRX

This was my second car, and it was and may always be my best car! With its Japanese design It was strong and sturdy. I only had two problems with it the whole 2 years I had it one, was the break pads got worn out (easy to replace) and the clutch lead stretched and that was replaced not so expensive either. Its a nippy car and sits so low to the ground you wonder how you ever get in it. Once you take off the roof, (bit awkward on the manual version ...
...You can get this car with an automatic roof but I heard there can be some problems with this as if the electrics go the roof will be stuck and it could be stuck mid way. Even though its a small car you dont feel squashed inside as its quite roomy and spacious. A friend of mine drove it hes 6ft 2 a foot taller than me and felt it was still roomy. You can put the chair right back as for extra leg room and it goes back further than alot of cars. There ...

Review of Honda CRX

...my eye. The car a Honda CRX. See the problem with me is that If I see something I like I get my heart set on it and try my hardest to get it(even cameron diaz and jessica alba hehe!) So off I went looking for the car I wanted. The problem is though they are quite hard to find and seem to sell at a dearer price than the book value. Eventually I found one which was really cheap for what it was and to be honest I was expecting there to be something ...
...The car is a Honda civic crx 1.6esi Two seats, and a metallic blue coulour. Removable roof, this basically unclips inside the car and slides into a compartment in the boot. It is really easy to do and isn,t heavy or time consuming. You can do it in about a minute. When the top is on it looks like a normal hard top car. Electric windows including a electric rear window which is unusaul but so fun and addictive I can,t stop playing with it. Bucket ...

Review of Honda CRX

I've had my little CRX Del Sol for about 6 months now and I have to say I am totally hooked. I bought it off ebay for £900. Its a 1993 Jap import 1.5 VXi which was imported into this country in 2004. Because it hasn't spent long in the damp British climate, it is immaculate. No rust, no marks, nothing. It was one of those cars which was definitely an impulse purchase, and probably the best one I've ever made. It looks fab, and gets loads of comments, ...
...version which you have to take off and pop in the boot. It is a little heavy, but perfectly manageable. At least there are no leaks or rattles, which can apparently happen with the electric roof. It seems to be happy pootling about town, but get it on a country road, put your foot down, wait a slight pause, and then the kickdown from the automatic transmission is phenomenal! The brakes feel a little squishy, but as with everything on this little ...

Review of Honda CRX

The Honda CRX first hit the showrooms in the mid eighties in the form of a small and sporty 2 + 2 coupe. Think of it like a Ford Puma sent back in time and you can see how forward thinking our Japanese friends are. With its 1.5i 16 valve engine and low low weight it made for a sporty alternative to the mainstream hot hatches of the day, XR3i and Pug 205 GTi to name 2. A school boy at the time, the CRX was right at the top of my wish list. Honda ...
...position to own one. But Honda had made further plans for the by now cult status CRX and quite dramatic they were too. Remove the rear seats and make the CRX a convertible!!! So my ownership began - a gleaming Milano Red ESi with boot spoiler!! Making a £16k dent in my bank account oouch!! In 1992 there were 2 models, the model I owned the 125bhp ESi and the 160bhp Vti. Both had the now well known VTEC valve lift system, the ESi having a single ...

Review of Honda CRX

I have had my Honda CRX Japanese import for a year and a half now - that's two summers of cruising around in a convertible! No, it's not practical, and yes it sometimes drips water from the roof where the seal is not as tight as it could be, but put The Fresh Prince "Summer Time" on the 6 CD player, crank it up, and put the roof down electronically and WHO CARES???!!! Everyone stops and stares when the boot lifts up, arms reach out to grab the roof ...
...the boot again. Even the RAC man who came out to change my tyre for me (no, I'm not a naff female, I was just at work so didn't want to get dirty and besides, I pay for it don't I??!!!)hadn't seen one before and asked for a demo. Needless to say, he was as impressed as everyone else! I haven't met anyone yet who didn't think 1. it was great or 2. what a great way to pull a bloke! (or bird I guess...!). So I can't fit more than a suitcase in the ...

Review of Honda CRX

Strange title???? Not when you realise that I am talking of the earlier CRXs the hard top one round about 1990! This car from the side profile looks like a flea ready to jump, and thats prertty much what it is with 170bhp it is a very rapid hatch! Standard car figs are 0-60 is 8 secs with a top end of round about 130 mph. I have probably had more fun in this car than any other car i have ever owned. Although the car takes the majority of the credit ...
...to speed cameras and other speed trap devices. however I will leave that subject well alone or I will rant on for too long and your reading this review for the car arent you not for my rants!!! Being a hatchback it is surprising how much you can put in the boot of this car with the back seat down and even with it up you can get enough for a weekend away. The back seat is pretty much useless unless you want extra storage space but if so then just ...

Review of Honda CRX

...previous review. MK II Honda CRX is NOT a boy racer car at all. The majority of UK owned MK II's are owned by enthusiasts from the owners club and are taken complete care of regardless of cost . I spent £500 on mine just last month, no not on neon lights and a body kit. New clutch, new discs and calipers, new exhaust (Standard), CV boots and Tax. I fitted all the parts myself as Honda's labour charges are ridiculous and I don't trust anybody else ...
...the driver. Being the first honda with independant dual wishbone point to point suspension it handles like a go-kart and was the inspiration for the entire Honda Type R series of cars. The majority of the UK models are starting to rust away but a tidy example can be found if your willing to pay a little more. (I payed £2.5k for mine and its pretty much rust free). Some of the cars have been ..Brutalised with body kits. horrible custom paint jobs, ...

Review of Honda CRX

I have owned a Honda CRX Del Sol SIR (Japanese import model) since october 2003 and have loved every second of owning and driving it. The key plus points with this car is simply that I have been able to own a small sporty convertable car that has 167bhp and a funky as hell electric transtop roof (way before the mercedes SLK was even on the drawing board). I also have a car with PAS and Traction control, not to forget the heated mirrors, 6 CD changer ...
...the import model means there have been a few minor inconveniences such as needing headlights shipped from Japan but this only took 2 weeks. Other than that it has been great. Forgetting the fact mine is an import (and in very good condition for its age and very high spec) I think all the CRX Del Sol range are great cars for anyone wanting something sporty and relatively uncommon. Once you start trying to spot them you could find it hard to find any ...

Review of Honda CRX

...look around.....we decided on the Honda crx Del Sol.....The actual model was the sporty SiR model which has 170BHP as standard and is a jap import. The engine is a 1.6 DOHC Vtec and was manufatured in 1994, M reg. I feel that we could not have bought a better car for the money as we paid £4400 and have upto now never had a problem with it, however, i have replaced the battery brake pads and exhaust. The car runs perfectly and is a better drive ...
...i opted for a genuine honda replacement part. I visited many local, companies eg, quick-fit, nation tyres etc but these could not supply a replacement exhaust ( One company offered to bend a rover exhaust to fit......NO TA!!!) so i had to go through a specialist in chester and the new exhaust system cost £280 for the centre and back box, However the other parts like brake pads etc are standard uk parts. The car is very well built, with electric ...

Review of Honda CRX

I've owned a 1991 MK2 Honda CRX VT for around 18 months now. This is the older version than the mk3 convertible, and much more of a "drivers" car. As soon as you step into this incredibly low slung sports hatch, and into the very supportive bucket seats, you know you're in for something special. The handling is superb and the steering gives you lots of feedback. It is even well equppied considering the age, coming with electric windows, sunroof and ...
...now has 175,000 miles on the clock. In that time I have had to replace 2 tyres, and a track rod end for the MOT, THAT'S IT. The famous reliability of Honda really isn't a myth, I'm sure this car has many thousands of miles left in it yet. ...

WOW!! This is a great car! I love it, it has everything you could want from a car, it has that definate great sporty looking design which i personaly love. It has a good powerful engine, when you cruising down the motorway you can feel it. It has many features, electric windows, good steering, alloys, good stereo and more. I think that it is a great car for the two reasons that it looks great and the engine sounds great. The only downside to this ...

Review of Honda CRX

I've had my (UK) CRX Mark III (that's the one with the targa top) for nearly two years and it was the best thing I ever bought. Fast off the blocks good fun on country roads and not too painful on the motorway. I'd always fancied one ever since I saw my first, and finding this one second hand was an absolute must buy! Mine has the manual roof - I've been offered straight swaps by people with the electronic roof because apparently they break fairly ...
...Mark II is a proper boy racers car and quite a lot of the Mark IIIs have gone the same way. The boot ain't that big, but then with the roof up you can get enough luggage for a week away for two in there (wouldn't try it with the roof down though). All in all I'm in love with mine, and (touch wood) I'll be keeping it for years to come... ...

Review of Honda CRX

I own a 1985 Honda Crx, it is extremely dependable, and when I need to replace parts, they are usually very cheep and easy to access. It has enough room to install an after market stereo, and LOTS of speakers and other sound system devices. My top speed was 150KM an hour (90Miles). So if you want to go fast, you will need to install after market equipment. It has no attachments for car seats so if you have a baby it is very difficult to get the ...
