1988 Honda CRX Si - POV Driving Impressions

That thing is in MINT condition, I am awestruck

[@FastGojira]

Squeak rattle and roll. Not in the best shape, add in some hard engine ticking 😂😂😂 I understand a good sewing machine sound. And then there's BEAT ON. This car had hit the bends HARD 😂😂 put away wet with a good buff on the paint

@@FastGojira the car is fine. the squeak youre hearing is coming from the latch mechanism on the trunk lid.

[@jarekstorm6331]

I had one of these new off the lot in 1991, and it ticked liked that day 1. All Hondas did back then. And yeah, a nearly 40-year-old car is going to have a few rattles and squeaks.

[@Techcensorshipbot]

I love the way these 80s and the early 90s honda 4 cylinders sound. They are the definition of fun driving a slow car fast.

[@Mx5pro]

The nostalgia of this car brings back so many emotions of the past

[@wackyklinger602]

These cars just really make me wish I grew up in this era. The new cars are cool and all, but they are nothing compared to these classics.

[@staticoverlay]

I worked as a detailer in an area with a lot of wealthy people and we were all used to seeing AMGs and Bentleys and such nobody noticed or cared, but if someone came with a mint 90s Civic or something that got talked about and admired

[@Atothen1234]

My dad had a CRX Si and a C4 corvette. Didn’t realize the CRX Si would be a classic when I was 16 but I definitely had my fun driving it though.

[@sheldonlamey7010]

I own both 5th and 6th Civic EX Coupes because I've held on to them since I got them in 06 and 08 I also daily a 7th gen sedan all manuals....I'm old enough now to see this trend where the older people have cool stuff(a cheap house/ cars ) because they were around when the prices were cheap and old enough to buy things that expensive ( lucky really). I had a mustard seed of hope in the 5th and 6th Gen Civic Coupes because in the supermarket there was Jeep Magazine, Camaro, Mustang, Diesel, general Japanese tuner magazine, and Honda Tuning Magazine. I thought why would an economy car have its own magazine... I thought to myself yeah these things are gonna be cool to own in the future especially since the aftermarket was great for such a non-sports car. Look now there are 5th and 6th gens doing 6s and 7s in the quarter mile, bucket loads of engine swaps and AWD swaps.. I had a hunch but didn't really know the aftermarket and performance world records would be this crazy...never sell a car you love you'll regret it for the rest of your life especially in this economy. My parents bought the 6th gen first $3500 I saved up from my pizza job and bought the 5th gen $1800 In 2008 best $1800 I ever spent I could never get a Civic without spliced wiring for that now....they're still under 3K though which is wild.

[@morecowbell69]

There was nothing special about CRX's when they were new. They may have had some following at the time, but to most people, they just were funny looking econoboxes.

[@jacobw886]

I grew up in the 80s and 90s and cars weren’t that great. Lots of cheap plastic interiors that creaked a lot with ugly cloth interiors. The engines were slow, especially for an econobox like this one. It’s very cool to see a mint car from this era but that’s mostly because of nostalgia. Cars are much better nowadays.

[@deanlgreen]

Had this exact car, it went extremely well for a 1.6 litre engine (maxed out at 200km/hr once on a country road, very scary). Loved every time I drove it. Hi from Australia.

[@aaronreed9863]

I had the same one too in high school and all through college. Best years if my life. Great car. No regrets.

[@slimfastfret]

Except we are kucky to have ZC engines in them in Australia, japan, europe unlike US market.

It get's a bit floaty at those speeds.... LOL I once hit pretty close to that on the way home one night on a very long trip (I was really sick of driving and ready to be home) and anytime I went over a hill I could feel the car longing to leave the ground.

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

@@slimfastfret I replaced the stock engine with a ZC when the timing belt on my original engine snapped one night. To make it fit under the head we left the cam sprocket cover off and it was a thing of beauty to watch them spinning when the engine was on.

[@slimfastfret]

@@ashleighelizabeth5916 Your're from the usa ? how'd you get a D16A9 DOHC engine from ? i heard that snapping the timing belt on D16 engines would never kill them (except at crazy speeds) as they are non interferencial engines. You must have had a blast in your car. i own a EDM '88 CRX myself, i love it to bits, but i blowned my engine like a dumb. Lookinf for a replacement...

[@shred_pow_pow]

My first car was a black 91 Si with a full B16A2 conversion with LSD. 17 year old me had no idea how good I had it.

[@ashleighelizabeth5916]

Hell of a nice first car!

[@DaisyTheSadboi]

This is a car. This is driving purity. You are one with the vehicle, there's nothing to distract you from the road, the simplicity in these machines is one of the things I love about them.

[@dangerdonk6670]

This describes the magic of the CRX (Si specifically). I tell people all the time, a CRX Si is analog everything. The double-wishbone suspension paired with rack and pinion steering makes the car feel like an extension of your body and you are connected to the road. Every turn, rev feels like you control it and can feel it. Nothing modern feels like this whatsoever and if modern car enthusiasts drove a CRX Si they would probably be shocked how disconnected just about everything modern today feels by way of electronic everything, assisted everything. I often tell people, a CRX Si is basically the perfect driving car and a Prime automobile if there ever was one. It got lost in a sea of high powered cars from that time but society figured out years later what many of us knew back then. Power:weight ratio matters more than just raw power. Nothing from this timeline or since drives like a CRX Si.

[@DaisyTheSadboi]

@@dangerdonk6670 I also harken back to the James May school of car ownership: it's not how much power you have, but how much power you can use. Having an 800 HP fire spitting Supra might get you cool guy points but you'll only really be able to use a few of those horses at a time and never really reach the limits of the car. Whereas with these kinds of cars they're basically at their limit the second they're pushed. Feeling fast is usually more fun than actually going fast.

[@Red88Rex]

Yeah they have a cable clutch and manual steering rack. Feels like driving a go kart.

[@jcooper_]

Even through video, there's just a brilliant sense of purity that shines through with most Hondas. Any other slow-ish econobox would be a yawn, but this somehow manages to ooze so much charm

[@jarekstorm6331]

This was a hot hatch, not econo. The HF was the economy version. This was the sport.

[@josecrespo602]

Did y'all see how delicately TheTopher opened up that rear hatch at 1:45? That's exactly how you touch a car that clean!

Honda's best years, mid to late 80's and all of the 90's.

[@speedcanada1]

IMHO this generation of Civic (1988-1991) and the Accord 3rd (1886-1989) & 4th (1990-1993) generation were peak Honda. The ones after may have had cool elements and paper improvements, but they started to lose the “perfection” these cars attained. FWIW, I owned a 1984 Accord LX, 1987 Accord EXi, 1990 Civic Si, 1992 Civic Si, 1997 Civic Si Coupe and a 1997 Accord - the 1987 and 1990 were the best of the bunch. Never went back to Honda after the 1997 Accord.

[@bradjensen4927]

I had a yellow Si, back in college, and I LOOOOOOVED that car!! I would regularly skip my afternoon classes, just to go for a fun drive.... I drove it more than 100k miles, in just over 4 years! It was the most fun I've ever had with a car, and I still miss it, nearly every day. I have never loved another car as much, though my current Mini Roadster is a *very* close second. Even if I owned a Ferrari now, I would still miss the CRX!

Truth! After the early 2000s, Honda really abandoned their fanbase, and what made their cars truly great.

I hope you got to drive that BEAUTIFUL NSX in the background. That first gen NSX is among my top favorite cars.

[@jjrosaria]

I love Honda's attention to detail in this era. They were the absolute best at the time! One of my favourite details are the wheels being left and right directional (the car actually has its left and right wheels mixed up. What I mean is that because they are turbine style, if mounted correctly. The wheels always point the correct orientation!

[@nicksevers07]

That is a very nice car. This definitely makes me wish I lived the lifestyle (I'm 17) of the 70s-90s era. Granted newer vehicles are nice, but I miss the simplicity and reliability of the older vehicles, more than the new ones. Great video and I look forward to watching more.

Thank you for this! I once owned a 1989 CRX Si that looked exactly like this one. I still remember reading and re-reading an artcile (in Car & Driver if I remember rightly) that called it the "Thin Wallet Ferrari". To this day, it was still my favorite car I've owned. Not the fastest, obviously, but the purest and the most fun. I was very young back then (not so much anymore) and I fondly remember having no back seats, manual windows, and a true sunroof! No glass, so it can't truly be called a moonroof. Still miss that car to this day. Were I wealthy I would make the current owner of that CRX an offer he could not refuse.

Maybe the best pov stock Si video ive seen. Felt like driving my 88 all over again... From happy revs down to the sunroof noises.

[@dig494]

My first brand new car was a 1985 Civic S hatchback with the manual. The Si came out in 86. 85 was old throttle body intake before port injection. 1.5 liters of raw power (not really). Put like 200k on that car. Still miss it. I wish Honda would get back to basics more than they do nowadays.

Thanks Topher for providing me the opportunity to relive a lot of fun times. My first car was a 1988 Si, in black, and it was a hoot to drive. I have a 2022 Si today, and with all its tech and comfort features it suits my current stage in life just as well as the '88 did back then. Hats off to the owner for taking such good care of her. One small correction - the B16 introduced in the '88 Si DID have V-tec. Always loved listening to it switch over.

[@kenhanson4015]

I bought the first black CRX SI in Amarillo Texas in early 88. I drove it 195,000 miles in 19 years, then sold it to my brother. I think it has over 250,000 now. He has done some engine work on it, the only thing I had go wrong was an igniter module that takes the place of points. Fifty bucks for the part, and 50 to put it in at an independent shop. Try to find that kind of reliability now, even in a Honda. Best car I ever had and ever will have. I wish I could go back and do it all over again. Thanks for the ride down memory lane.

[@CPMUNSEY]

One of my good friends had a yellow 91 CRX Si that he bought brand new. It had two JL 10W6’s and a 1000watt Sound Stream amp in the hatch. That car made me fall in love with Honda and I’ve been team Honda ever since.

Thanks for posting this clip. I’ve been lowkey obsessed with this car for such a long time! Love early 80’s cars, always have, it’s just a different feel to driving them. I do get all the saftey reasons for the way modern cars look and drive, but i just don’t like them ( except a few, mazda mx5, etc). Now everything is a crossover, suv, such a sad scenery for the car industry. Also i am big fan fan of manuals, and after 23 years of driving and always having manuals, still not bored of them. Looking forward for new clips like these! Keep em coming!

[@robertgray8320]

I had a 92 CRX Si back the day. I still miss it. I miss the sound of those engines too. One of the best cars ever made IMO. Great video!

[@HumbleBearcat]

I had a 1988 CRX Si just like this one except it was bright yellow which was much prettier. The car was bought from my high school friend who was the first owner. That car is the car that I miss the most because it was so much fun to drive. Unfortunately, some idiot hit my parked car and ran. After the repair was done, the paint job didn't look quite well so I sold it, but I regret later.

[@YouCanCallMeDon]

A great car. I had an 1984 CRX, red, silver accent. I loved that car. It was zippy, great handling, great gas mileage, super reliable. I would buy one new if they made them today. It was great in snow too... very exceptional. I did a 19 hour drive (normally 12) from NC to NY, and the snow was quite deep for much of the trip on I95... there were almost no other cars on the highway, and most were off the side of the road, stranded. But I managed to get all the way home in a terrible snow storm. Most epic drive I ever did. So many good memories in that car.

I worked at a Honda dealership 89-90 and autocrossed my CRX-Si demos. It was in D-Stock, I was winning a lot (won my SCCA Regional Championship), and extra fun with a different color car complete with window sticker & dealer plate. Tech Inspection looking for cheats, "What's the point?" The only flaw, if is what it was, was that on race rubber (shaved DOT legal Yokohama gumballs) there was a lot of body roll. My only problem (other than getting found out) was keeping them from installing the A/C, which was always dealer-installed from a kit. As soon as the installed it, I sold it. 70lbs on the wrong end of the car made a hell of a difference. Great car, great steering feel, great braking feel. It is all about the friction circle, and you were in direct contact. Brilliant.

[@davekincade8141]

My first car was a red 91 Si and still puts a grin on my face every time I think about it. Honda rocked back in those days!

Bought my white 1991 CRX Si brand new. Went tent camping out of it all over the USA. My favorite car. Many fond memories with this car. The seatbelts were attached to the door, so they put themselves on when closing the door.

UDSM SI's for 88-89 only had the SOHC 1.6 for 105bwhp. USDM 90-91 same thing but tuned for 108bwhp. Lots of people swap for B16 variants however, but the stock D16A6 1.6 was a perfect pair for the power:weight ratio. The 150bwhp DOHC options were the cherry on top though.

Uggh that car is so clean. The late 80s and early 90s really were the epidemy of quality, style, simplicity, and reliability. Its genuinely been downhill since then. If they started producing this exact model again, they would make an absolute killing. Like an identical model. Down the the dashboard plastic molding and 80s digital clock. With the modern mandatory tech needed to make it legal of course. Sure the extra tech would make it a little more expensive than what it sold for originally, but not by much. And if you think about it, it probably wouldn't cost them much to produce again either. All people want right now is a car that people can actually afford, and something like this could be that. It hurts to see how disconnected the auto industry is at the moment.

My bro and his friends had a crx club where they all had a crx with various additions (4 cars). Such fun cars to customize. 1999-2001 crx club.

I had a 1987 CRX Si, my first new car. I loved that thing. ❤

Great video. My first new car was an '86 CRX 1.5 in red. Always wishing I had one more day with it.

Wanted one of those so badly when I was a teen … such a cool ride; a guy at my HS had a blue one and I always thought it was one of the dopest rides.

Amazing car. I graduated HS when these cars were popular, they were everywhere. Just don’t get in an accident in one. I think it’s a 2 of 5 in crash safety. Both feet broken, both legs broken and pelvis.

The only brand-new car I ever owned... a red 1988 exactly like this one. Motor Trend named it the Car of the Year and said if Bo Derek was a car, she'd be a CRX si. I was sold! It was the most fun car I've ever owned, but I see this example has the same flaw mine had, and one that drove me absolutely crazy, and that was the squeak from the back hatch. I must have taken mine back to the dealer at least five times to have that squeak fixed, until I finally decided it was obviously unfixable. Still an awesome car in spite of that damn squeak!

Few of my friends had this back in highschool. Excellent DIY car.

Peak Honda right here. No cup-holders either. I would wedge my coffee tumbler between the console and the passenger seat. Held it perfectly.
