Honda CRX. At Review Centre we have thousands of reviews of cars including other Honda makes and models, both new and used, like the Honda Civic, Honda Accord and the Honda Jazz.
The Honda CRX is a two seat coupe with a hard top which was produced as an extension of the Honda Civic range. Review Centre reviewers have been overwhelming bowled over by the V-Tec version, confirming Honda's tidy reputation in the sports car bracket.
The Mk 1 Honda Civic CR-X was first produced in 1983 as a lightweight sport hatchback but came into its own right after a few modifications.
The sports V-Tec version was added with a powerful 1.6-litre variable valve timing engine which as our reviewers testify is a wonderful thing to hear when it is in full song. Bodywork was of the strictly two plus two type with very little room for passengers in the rear.
The Honda CR-X was originally launched as the Honda Ballade Sports CR-X in Japan and the first generation CR-X was sold in some places as the Honda Civic CR-X. The
CRX is reported to mean: 'Civic Renaissance-Experimental'.
