Used 2011 Honda CR-Z Consumer Reviews
Fun and sporty!
So far averaging 35.3 mpg on my first 200 miles, about 70/30 city vs highway. Very fun to drive w/ paddle shifters, navigation/ bluetooth interface works seamlessly which is typical of Honda. A little disappointed that no sunroof option is offered and no rear camera as visibility is a bit of an issue. Also no back seat option like over seas. However, no first year model glitches found yet.
Sports hybrid of the future
Coming from a big sedan to this car is a big change. This car is small, low and sporty. It is not very fast or gets 60 miles a gallon. However I get over 43 mpg in hybrid mode and better then 0 to 60 in 10 sec. in sports mode. I drive in the city mostly so extreme speed is not needed, and I am a bachelor and always wondered why I needed back seats. This car is perfect for me for the price and life style.

Terribly dissapointing
Looks better than in pictures. Seat is nice but adjustment for height is proper as it tilts at the same time. Shifter is very good. Rear wheels are too much tucked inside the fenders. The car is reluctant to accelerate at any rpm. Engine noise is not what one would expect from a Honda. Revs built slowly. Brake pedal feels unnatural with no initial bite. Steering does not feel connected, like most electric steering systems. Clutch is very too soft, hard to feel the engagement point.
The Cat's meow
This is a great car, Get one!
Repair bills make me think I bought a Bentley
It's a great car for about 75,000 miles. At eight years old, it badly needs a paint job, it is cracking and peeling worse than the paint on any car I've ever owned, even those over 20 years old. Parts are insanely expensive. A blower motor for the air conditioner is $550 for the part and $300 labor to replace. I replaced one on a Taurus for less than $300. The VSA control module is $3,200, one sixth the price of the car, and that is the part without labor. While at the dealer, I overheard someone discussing an $11,000 transmission on a CR-V. The dealer also wanted $700 for a cargo cover that I can get for $55 aftermarket. It's a good car if you don't keep it too long, but you'd think you were driving a Bentley when the repairs start coming in.
