Back in highschool you used to see a lot of these CRX's on the parking lot among most of the students "most of them used to go into mechanic class at the time" and let me tell you, these Hondas were amazing along with the EG's and EX ect. When it comes to 90's cars, this one, the Eclipse and the Civic "both versions" and the MR2 are some of my favorite cars from the era.

i have a ‘90 crx sitting in my garage right now. really need to get that thing going again, i miss it

[jefferysmith]

I work at a Honda dealer. I have a customer who is the original owner of a 91 CRX Si. It’s his only car and he still loves it. It’s no garage Queen, but still quite presentable.

92 horse power lol crazy to think that back in the day we used to think that was fast. I had a CRX when I was 17. Great car. Right now I’m in a 2022 civic sport touring hatchback in boost blue. Best car.

I loved these back in the day. They're practically unicorns now (especially if you find one that hasn't been riced out). This is definitely an '80s icon; you could still spec the first couple of years with carburetors, I believe. Can't imagine what finding one of those would be like today.

I’m especially glad you did this one. I had two CRX’s- a 1984 and then a 1988. Both DX’s. People usually don’t know there were three models of each body style. FE, DX and Si. I truly enjoyed driving those little cars. I sometimes wish I still had one. Ah the good old days. 😊 Ironically the home market ones had back seats. Also A/C was optional, which was a must-have for me in Georgia!

What a classic. I REALLY love the wheels the owner found for this car. EXTREMELY rare to see eight spoke wheels like this because they looks similar to Wanatabes. Very good choice.
The only shame about these wonder vehicles is that so many kids just beat the hell out of them and finding a nice one that isn't out of this world in price is extremely difficult.

I owned a 90 Civic SI and loved it. It was a great little car. Reliable, light and fun to drive. That generation CRX reminded me of the F-117 Stealth Fighter plan from Desert Storm!

[marcterry]

Thanks for reviewing this car. I have one and still search YouTube to see if there is any new crx vids. We need more crx vids!

Nice review, you got nearly everything right (more than most reviews) and I LOVE seeing how much you appreciate this car. I bought an '84 CRX and then sold Hondas and Acuras from '85 to 2015. A/C and radios were dealer installed options on all CRX trim levels all 8 years of their model run. The enclosed cargo area was standard on 2nd gen DX and Si trims, and Japanese and Euro CRX did have a back seat - nicknamed a two-mile seat. That's why the U.S. version LOOKS like it could have one. My guess is "two mile seat" GREATLY overestimated it's capabilities! Absolutely correct on the emergency seatbelt release (nobody gets that right!) and your impression of the shifter? Car and Driver (and others) said for decades that Honda made the world's best feeling shifter - including high dollar performance and exotics. Really nice review, thank you so much!

I've always loved these cars. My cousin used to have a gray one; it had cool wheels & a boomin stereo system in it!

[kebabaluba]

I had one of those, had it i same colour but my was euro spec with B16 Vtec engine. 160 hp in that light car was a blast. Had to let it go with sadness due to massive rust in the rocker panels.

[FrightfulAccountant]

Honda's golden years. They won F1 every year and they put out the best street cars ever.

[calicocalthecopperkid]

I believe this was a aluminum frame w/ 50-50 weight balance which made it BOSS like no other.

[willyhwang]

what a cool hot hatch.
80s/90s Hondas rock!

[XenonZcar]

In Japan, Rear Seats were available. The First Gen also had optional Digital Dashes.

I bought an 88 CRX Si brand new. Sold it 12 years later. Loved the car.

[Camo-Dan]

This is such a great video. I absolutely love the color of this one albiet a bit sun faded. Never knew that about the sun roofs but the sun roof is my favorite part of my 1990 crx si. Wish it still opened up. Have to fix it among 900 other things to keep it driving is tough. I’ve seen two other crx’s around me over the last few years. I love this car so much. It’s a dream to drive. I swapped a new used d16a6 into it last winter to keep it going. Painted it the year before. Loved the footage of driving it from the cockpit. Great video!

My '88 just turned 200k miles. I'm a musician and my CRX hauled full bass and keyboard rigs around for years. All it needs is a paint job.😁

While being sub 2000 lbs is very impressive, especially for the 80s, the triumph spitfire 3 had a curb weight of 1567 lbs!! That includes the 400 lbs iron block engine and transmission. A modern aluminum drivetrain swap could get you well under 1500 lbs! Modern cars in the 2200 lbs range would be the NA Miata and Mk3 MR2. Basically nothing will ever be that light again.
