The Honda CRX remains one of the great small performance cars of the eighties and early nineties, combining featherweight engineering, sharp double wishbone handling and Honda reliability in a compact two seat hatch shape. Depending on market and year, engines ranged from eager carburetted units to the famous fuel injected VTEC variants, giving the CRX a lively character that made modest power feel exciting. Its low driving position, short wheelbase and visibility helped create a kart like feel, while impressive fuel economy made it just as useful for commuting as weekend back road fun. For owners in Australia, Automotive Superstore makes it easy to keep this cult classic feeling fresh with service parts, filters, ignition components, suspension upgrades, brakes, lighting, fluids and accessories suited to restoration, maintenance or tasteful modification.

Part of the CRX legend is cultural: it became a favourite of autocrossers, club racers and import enthusiasts because it was affordable, tunable and remarkably durable. The second generation Si and VTEC models are especially prized, and clean examples have become collectible as nostalgia for compact, analogue Hondas grows. A fun piece of trivia is that the CRX was marketed as the Civic Renaissance Experimental, a name that suits its blend of efficiency and sporty intent. Whether your CRX is a preserved survivor, daily driver or project build, parts can protect its lightweight magic.
