Question 1

Is the Honda CR-X EF8 SiR the same as the USDM CR-X Si?

Accepted Answer

No. The EF8 SiR sold in Japan came with the B16A VTEC engine (160PS), double-wishbone suspension, and was never officially sold in the U.S. The U.S.-spec Si used a D16 engine with less power and different suspension geometry.

Question 2

Can the Honda CR-X EF8 be daily driven?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Despite its rev-happy nature, the EF8 is surprisingly usable. It averages 30mpg in real-world use, parts availability is solid in Japan and the aftermarket, and its small footprint is great for urban environments. Just be aware of age-related wear and common issues like caliper corrosion and sunroof drain leaks.
