1990 Honda Civic CRX Si 2dr Coupe
I bought my 90 CRX Si new in Feb of 90 and I have never regretted it. I have thought about purchasing a newer car but because it's such a reliable car and runs beautifully, it's hard to justify needing another vehicle, new or otherwise. And it looks good, especially in red with the black trim. After waxing, it looks like a shiny lady bug. The engine has 265,000 miles and is as smooth … and quiet as ever. Regular valve adjustment are a good way to maintain this. But it's a very well built car - built to last. I have saved THOUSANDS because I bought this car and not the Ford Escort GT I was also considering-don't ask me why. Honda is an Engine company that happens to build cars...
Reliability and Economy at it's best!

1990 Honda Civic CRX HF 2dr Coupe
This is a great late 80's early 90's high fuel mileage economy car. It's not the most comfortable for long trips, but it works wonders for my long daily commute. I've owned this car since 1989 (it's a 1990), and I still love this car. I have had the engine rebuilt around 290K, and the clutch replaced 4 times, suspension bushings at 325K, new tires when needed, but other than that, I … have no complaints--those are norma lwear and tear items anyways. I currently have 821,457 miles on the odometer and look forward to reachingt he one million mile mark! Honda builds quality and reliable cars. Most cars well taken care of will give you years of reliable service! Way to go Honda!
One of the geatest Hondas built

1990 Honda Civic CRX 2dr Coupe
I have owned a CRX for going on 2 years now. It is by far the best car I have ever owned. I bought it with a JDM B16 swap in it. Even though it has a bigger engine than stock, it still gets about the same MPG, averaging about 28-30 in town and 36-38 on the highway. Having the extra power makes it more fun to drive too. Now having almost 260,000 miles on her, she is still kickin down the … road.
CRX IS THE BEST

1990 Honda Civic CRX HF 2dr Coupe
The CRX is a very reliable car for
daily communiting. My CRX has 211,000
miles and I would still drive it
anywhere. The 5 speed transmition
shifts smoothly and tightly. The
engine still sounds new. It does not
use one drop of oil. It has great
visibility from the cockpit. For
having low horsepower, this car still
moves along very fast. I wish they
remade these cars.
