Used Car of the Day: 1991 Honda CRX Si

by Tim Healey

Published: November 13th, 2023

Today we bring you one of the original hot hatches -- a 1991 Honda CRX Si.

This one needs a new master cylinder to be roadworthy, but the engine starts and runs.

Browsing the photos, we see it has a manual transmission and needs some restoration, at least cosmetically -- we see paint bubbles along the sunroof and a worn-out interior.

The seller knows this car needs work -- the asking price for this Florida-based ride is $3,500.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Not only were these lightweight and great handling, Honda shifters of that era were wonderfully engaging. I truly hope that somebody restores this and does not 'modify' it.

I guess back in 95 I should have bought the Acura Integra that was my second choice after the Probe. Mistake on my part - what's still in the garage in unmolested condition would be worth more like $40K instead of 5...

  You never see those Probes anymore, but the GT from that gen was so much fun. I miss cars like that

Theflyersfan Keep the car. It's reliable, hasn't nickeled and dimed you to death, and it looks like you're a homeowner so something with a back seat and a trunk is really helpful! As I've discovered becoming a homeowner with a car with no back seat and a trunk the size of a large cooler, even simple Target or Ikea runs get complicated if you don't ride up with a friend with a larger car. And I wonder if the old VW has now been left in Price Hill with the keys in the ignition and a "Please take me" sign taped to the windshield? The problems it had weren't going to improve with time.
SPPPP I don't think it's a sign of pressure from external competition, but rather a healthy sign of letting practicality trump triumphalism on the assembly floor. Does a 1-piece casting make sense? Imagine the huge investment (no pun intended) in the tooling for that structure. Now imagine that a change in regulation or market conditions requires a change to the structure. You're going to build all the tooling all over again? Why not use "gigacasting" selectively, to build right-sized modules that can be assembled simply and repeatably? Changing 1/3 of the tooling is much less costly. Additionally, it makes the vehicles repairable, instead of being subject to total loss in a minor accident.
Formula m Oh my first Ford learning experience was with a sales manager who is a former stripclub manager with a Satan’s choice tattoo on his forearm… was very eye opening. You can imagine how he has contributed to Ottawa over his long tenure with Ford. Hopefully A.I. gives a different experience
Slavuta This video explains the whole situation and also goes back when Musk was laughing off chinese companies
SPPPP Nice vehicle. My only fear with driving it so little is rodent damage - but I guess keeping it in the garage cuts that risk down a lot.
