CONS:
Choppy ride. The car's tight suspension and short wheelbase can make life difficult, especially over rough roads.
Excessive body roll during hard cornering.
No power assist on steering. Makes parking more like a workout. :-)
Rear visibility limited due to steep angle of rear hatch window. (Second-gen CRXs addressed this problem with a see-through rear tailgate.)
Brake rotors are sometimes prone to overheating and warping, causing shimmy during braking.
Carburetor quirks (base plate) appear on high-mileage cars, causing a cold engine to die right after starting.
CV joint boots prone to tearing, and must be monitored frequently to avoid costly CV joint repairs.
</TD></TR></TABLE>
Choppy ride:Suspension-easily fixed
Boddy Roll- Sway bars (DA or ST)
Power Steering- Big deal, I still park mine w/ one hand sometimes
Rear visibility-use side mirrors
Rotors-learn how to brake
CV joints- Its a Honda, CRX is no worse than any other model
Carburetor-Whats that

f u c k that! i paid $150 a month for everything but collision...and full coverage was $200...state required (lowest possible) was $125 for me...

that is because you are 18... i only pay 70 bucks a month for mine, and im only 21. give it a few years, and when you get older you'll see it start to fall down.

Re: Pros And Cons Of The CRX (VegasEFHB)
2nd gen is the pinnacle of crx...and even so far as to say Honda.
I can't find anything wrong with the Crx Hf even if i tried.....Besides the the normal crx stuff...rust...Front fender cracking on the door... and water.....
other then that the crx is pretty much flawless...in my opinion but i'm a nut job.

Re: Pros And Cons Of The CRX (kulangot)
the fender has never hit the door on my crx. unless it has been installed wrong or damaged, thats the only way i could see it being a problem.
