Video description
Today we take a look at the Honda CRX Si! A car I have wanted to try for a very long time. How light is it? How does it compare to it's sibling the EF hatch? Should you buy it? We answer these questions today!The CR-X name has many supposed definitions, the most widely accepted is Civic Renaissance Experimental. The car was manufactured from 1983 through 1991 when it was replaced with the CR-X del Sol.
Final note: This review is not my way of saying the EF hatch is lack luster. I much preferred this but truthfully you could probably shorten the gearing in the EF Civic Si and put suspension on it to make it drive just as well if not better. Objectively they were very similar, my preference is towards the CRX in stock form :)
This video is recorded with binaural audio. Wear headphones for the best experience :)
