235K miles, modded, parts removed, no A/C, no cat, [problematic for certain states] and spent time in the salt belt. PASS. Especially for that kind of coin.
Hell, I have 3 grand into a 93 Miata that had 32K on the odometer and no winters. In 5 years of ownership it has needed a clutch master [30 bucks or so and maybe 45 minutes] and new rubber last year. |

I’ve had two.
Long story but had and drove 2. Had them for several years. Had to replace the timing belt and clutch on both. The clutch was probably my fault. Fun to drive. |

The few kids that had those when I was in HS, they were just a staging apparatus for subwoofers.
Nobody modded them as they were turds and too small for your average corn fed Virginian to fit in. |

I used to race slalom courses. HP didn't matter much, as there were few straightaways and the ones there were, were short. The CRX was one of the fastest unmodified cars to run the course. With good tires, it was almost unbeatable.

We still all wanted one in the early 90's. Two of my buddies made it happen, and they were the coolest cars in the high school parking lot. The stoner smoking circle had a few beat to shit muscle cars though, that I would probably appreciate more now.

My first two cars were CRXs. I started in an '87, then bought a '92. Those cars were a blast to drive on the twisty backroads. And with the seats leaned back, there was so much room for activities.
