Honda's new CRX Si boasts sporty handling features THE 1989 Honda CRX offers all the fun and excitement of a sporty two-seat configuration, plus aerodynamic styling and numerous advanced engineering features. The two models available — the CRX and the CRX Si — feature fuel-injected aluminum alloy engines that provide both perfor- mance and economy, while a double-wishbone suspension in front and rear provides positive handling and comfortable ride. With its low hoodline, slim halogen headlights, nearly-flush side glass and carefully designed rear window slope, the 1989 CRX offers excellent aerodynamic effi- ciency. The CRX and CRX Si boast a coefficient of drag of only 0.30. Outward visibility is enhanced by the lower hoodiine and narrow A-pillars, giving the CRX interior a spacious, sporty feel. The rear hatch of the CRX allows access to a cargo area of over 657 litres (23 cu.ft.}, with a lockable recessed storage com- ‘partment. A double-wishbone rear suspen- sion design contributes to this in- creased cargo capacity, the largest of any two-seat car in its class. A L.S-litre, 16-valve SOHC engine with dual-point fuel injec- tion provides 92 horsepower for the 1989 CRX. A 4-speed automatic transmis- sion with lockup torque converter is an available option, with a 5- speed manual transmission as standard equipment. Convenience features including dual remote-operated door mir- rors, adjustable steering column, and a removable rigid cargo area cover give the new CRX added comfort and convenience. The CRX Si, meanwhile, offers outstanding performance again in 1989 with its 1.6-litre, SOHC 16- valve engine with multi-point Pro- grammed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) providing 108 horsepower. Gas-pressurized shock ab- sorbers, front and rear stabilizer bars and wide 14-inch alloy wheels with 60-series high-performance tires combine with the Si’s deuble-wishbone suspension for sporty handling characteristics. Additional standard features for the CRX Si include a power sunroof, a rear window wiper/ washer, and a quartz digital clock. Both the CRX and CRX Si models are available in several color and interior trim combina- tions. Both models are available in Rio Red (with black interior) and Polar White (blue - CRX; black - Si).
