Honda Civic CRX

|
The Mk 1 Honda Civic CRX was first produced in 1983 and is a lightweight sport hatchback. In the US market, the CRX was marketed as an economy sport hatchback, having room for just two passengers. European markets, however, received a more powerful 130 PS engine, and four seats.
Restyled in 1988 and produced through 1991, the CRX was very popular for its performance (the "Si" model), quick handling, and good fuel economy (the "HF" model could reliably achieve better than 50 miles per gallon, more than a decade before gas-electric hybrids appeared on the market). The CRX Si was Motor Trends Import Car of the Year for 1988.
It was replaced in 1991 by the Mk 3 CR-X Del Sol, a targa top 2-seater of the Civic platform. The Del Sol was discontinued in 1997 for US markets, and 1998 for other markets.
