TL;DR: This AUTOart 1:18 Honda CR-X Si Ballade Sport in black reproduces the lightweight 1984 hatchback, with opening doors. It is a used model, and the box shows traces of storage. A recognizable early Japanese sport-hatch subject.
The CR-X built its reputation on light weight rather than raw power, a formula Honda leaned on throughout the 1980s, and the Ballade Sport badge marks the Japanese domestic version of the car sold elsewhere simply as the CR-X.
The zinc-alloy body gives the model a solid, compact heft, appropriate for a car whose entire engineering brief centered on shedding weight rather than adding bulk. The doors open, revealing a simplified cabin that still carries the CR-X's low, sloped hatchback glass, one of its most distinctive design cues. Panel gaps run a bit wider than premium resin tooling, typical for this tier, and the black paint holds an even, glossy finish without the deeper metallic depth a costlier clear coat would add. The proportions stay honest to the real car's stubby wheelbase and short overhangs, details that matter on a subject this compact since there's little bodywork to hide behind. This is a used example, and the outer box shows traces of storage, ordinary wear on the carton that says nothing about the casting inside, which presents cleanly.
Honda built the CR-X around the same philosophy that would later define the Civic Si and the Integra Type R, low mass paired with a high-revving engine rather than brute displacement, and that lineage makes an early CR-X a useful starting point for a Honda performance chronology. Its small footprint at 1:18 also means it takes up less shelf space than larger contemporaries, letting a collector fit several compact Japanese sport models into the same row without crowding. Set beside period rivals from other Japanese manufacturers, the CR-X's boxy, low-slung hatchback shape stands out as genuinely distinct.
