Honda Civic CRX
A Civic may not be a sports car, but the two-seat CRX did its best to amaze us with its smart looks, great handling and peppy powertrain. It was offered from 1984 to 1987 during the Civic’s third-generation production cycle, and again from 1988 to 1991 in the fourth-generation model. Of course, the Si trim was the one to get, with 91 horsepower in the first CRX—which weighed less than 2000 pounds—and 108 in the second—which weighed about 2200 lbs.
