I traded in my 2007 Ford edge for the 2011 cr-z ex CVT. At first I had to get used to much less room and lower visibility but fun driving and spending 50% less gas money is great and helps to comfort me in other ways.

Title: me, before I bought this thing off a coworker. Now, I'm confident he knew something I didn't. Is it as nimble as the EF-generation CR-X? No. Does the LEA motor spin into the lower stratosphere with the charisma of a B-series or even a D15? No. Does it have a substantial aftermarket like every other Honda built between 1985 and three days ago? No. Does it have any power at all? Not really. What is does have is a surprisingly nice six-speed transmission, a surprising amount of low-end torque courtesy of the pancake electric motor, and a chassis that, while never rising to the raw feel of Hondas of yore, will still happily remind you that it has a wheelbase shorter than that of an R50 Mini (i.e. twitchy, but chuckable). And a surprisingly large cargo area. And decent gas mileage. And it's a two-seater, hybrid, manual, hatchback. Is it more fun to drive than a Miata? No. Is is as fuel efficient as a Prius? No. Does it have the soul of old Honda? Debatable. But if you step away from all of those expectations and take the car as it is, you'll find a surprisingly nice, reliable, engaging-enough car to drive to work, and a nimble-ish, planted, chuckable platform in the twisties. Is it a compromise? Yes. But it's not compromised. It's not going to go down in history as the second coming of a front-driver legend, but it is a truly decent, very usable, fun, and reliable automobile.

After researching a few months before it was released, I was expecting to be disappointed when I went to take a test drive the day dealers received a few. I read about rear visibility issues (common in hatchback), and I was expecting poor handling/power (hybrid). I loved the outside look but THOUGHT I would drive and decide not to buy. Wrong! While I understand the enthusiasts of the old CR-X wanting an Si model with more power, this vehicle performed well! It is a true balance between sport/fun and economy. Sure, I can't pass another car at 100mph on the freeway like I could in my BMW Z4, but this is one fun car if you can deal with it seating only 2.
Works for Me !

Have 1000 miles on it now. I bought the automatic. Lots of fun. The fuel mileage is increasing now that I"m driving it in "Normal" all the time. Getting 38.4 mpg now. Has plenty of PEP. Handling is good. No the smoothest ride because the battery under the trunk is so heavy. Hope it holds up! Happy so far! Got 7.0 seconds 0-60 on the 5th try in "Sport-Mode".

OK - Don't miss the point on this one. The CR-Z is not the fastest, prettiest, or "est" car out there in anyway- But, it is a nice balance of fuel economy and flirtations fun to drive. And it is big on the tech side. The 6 speed manual makes it a lot more drivable that any Toyota. If you want a big, fat, dumb muscle car - buy a Chrysler - um - Fiat. And my 30 something and 40 something friends (all edjamacated and stuff) get it.
