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

THX1136 That's so cool. This one is close to what I had accumulated with the 84 Shelby Charger I owned. Since it only had a 5 digit odo no one would know it had over 406k. I kept track of everyplace it turned over with only 2 still lodged in my 71 yo brain. If I had taken care of it cosmetically as well as I did mechanically I still think I could have gotten to 500k which was a goal I set for myself. The Toyota mentioned is quite impressive at over 900k. Thanks for the write up, Murilee!
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Nice to see. I like the Top 10 list and seeing "80s Mercedes" within.
Redapple2 jeffbut they (gm) dont want to ... their (gm ) pick up is 4th behind ford/ram, Toyota. GM has the Best engineers in the world. (gm has )More truck profit than the other 3 (manufacturers (ford, ram , toyota)). (The combined sales of ) Silverado + Sierra+ Tahoe + Yukon sales = (yields ) 2x ford total (profit from trucks) @ $15,000 profit per. (therefore gm has )Tons of $ (money ) to invest in the BEST truck. No. They make crap. Garbage. Evil gm Vampire. (expound / corrections )
UnoGeeks Great information. Unogeeks is the top SAP ABAP Training Institute, which provides the best SAP ABAP Training
ToolGuy This thing here is interesting.For example, I can select "Historical" and "EV stock" and "Cars" and "USA" and see how many BEVs and PHEVs were on U.S. roads from 2010 to 2023."EV stock share" is also interesting. Or perhaps you prefer "EV sales share".If you are in the U.S., whatever you do, do not select "World" in the 'Region' dropdown. It might blow your small insular mind. 😉
