Honda CRX: Significantly worse than average crash test rating
crx was designed to 1988 safety standards whatd you expect?
plus ive been in a wreck with a 89 wagovan, a 98 maxima and a 07 sonata. the wagovan hit a tree at 40 mph dead on with 7 people in the car i walked away with just a headache and the guy in the trunk had a bruise on his funny bone, the maxima got hit in the rear left side by a ford edge going 30 and the guy in the back almost had to go to the hospital and the sonata crumpled like a pop can upon being rear ended. air bags went off and i had bruising from the seat belt. the wagovan was the safest of them all in a real life scenario

I wanna help reanimate the 4 year-dead zombie!
Actually, I was surprised that the CRX in 1989 was 4-star front collision and 5-star Side.
In 1989, did the stars represent a scale of how quick and painless death was going to be, or does that actually mean safe?
Then again, cars were a hell of a lot smaller back then....
But yes, if you are concerned of safety, a CRX is not for you.
New compact and sub-compact cars are pretty amazing (Turns out with technology you can work WITH physics instead of just buying a tank and hoping for the best), but I am sure in 20 years they will be a joke.
Risk of death is the penalty for not being born rich, I guess...

I'm sure he's moved on by now.
