Honda CRX



The Honda CRX was a car that was built from 1983 to 1991. There are 2 generations of the car. This is my favorite Japanese car and definitely in my top 10 favorite cars. The engines that came with the first generation has a 1.3 or 1.5 liter engine. The 2nd generation has a 1.4 or 1.6 liter engine. In Japan the car came with an option of a VTEC engine is later seen in the Integra in the US. This offered 150hp! The great thing about these cars is that it is a fun, fast, and affordable car. This car is also a great gas saver. The 2nd generation got 41mpg!!! When most people think of a car that gets 40mpg's back in the 90's, they think of a car that is either expensive or ugly. The CRX was able to be a sports car while saving gas money. For being a Honda the car can ran well over 200,000 miles on the engine. The CRX could be a great car for autocross/racing or a daily commuter car. I have seen CRX's online that have 300,000 miles on them, and still running good. The CRX has won many awards. The CR-X was Motor Trend's Import Car of the Millenium for 1990. It also made Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1985. The redesigned CR-X was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1988. The CR-X Si was Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year for 1988. The 1988 CR-X Si was named one of Road & Track's 10 Best Cars of All Time.

  1. Honda CRX is for people that like to drive slow and hold traffic. Also the CRX is really ugly, now its not as bad as Volkswagon that you love so much. Italian and American cars are the best. Also you say that this car could be auto-cross worthy. The car is front wheel drive, you don't know what your talking about. They are only fun to do e-brakers in because they're worthless.

  2. I like the way that your blogs focus on a different car and type of car every time. It is a very good way to set it up. And it also makes reading it much easier. The writting style is easy to read too I like it. Keep it up.
