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.

A Safe and Fun "Sport" Hybrid
I bought this car after driving a 2006 VW GTI 1.8T for over six years. I will say that the CR-Z is a fun little car to drive, but has VERY slow acceleration. Pretty good storage space considering you're giving up a backseat. The WORST thing about this car was the blind spots caused by the rear hatch door and window design. My CR-Z was totaled two days after I bought it. I was rear ended while standing still by someone going about 45 mph and walked away with pretty bad whiplash but not much else. It's a safe car. A good value for the money but I'd wait for them to work out the design flaws before investing in one. Again the blind spots are TERRIBLE.
