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.

When driving with low beams on the visibility is terrible. it looks like a dark shade is pulled down 2/3s of the way on the windshield. On a hilly, curvy road you can see the posts , but not the sign on top of it.. I think it is dangerous. I have written Honda and have talked to the BB for Auto and filled out a kit they supplied. Honda in Calif. says there is nothing wrong with the headlights. . I am sure I will hear from the Better Business for Autos.

Really cool looking vehicle, sporty for a hybrid and fun to drive. Unfortunately, these Honda’s are about as reliable as a fart in the wind. Don’t be surprised when you walk out to your CRZ on a 32 degree or below morning and it doesn’t start. The 12V battery in these cars is absolute JUNK. Too small to even crank the motor, you will find yourself replacing these batteries FREQUENTLY ($200.00 a piece). I hope you enjoy paying for Tow trucks, because this car will be on the back of a tow truck multiple times a year. Don’t take it anywhere too far from home, it will likely not start and leave you stranded. I have been a Honda fan since I could drive, but this car made me question the brands quality at this point. The Air Conditioner is very weak (you will be sweating profusely on 85+ degree days), and the AC compressor is known to go out. I replaced mine multiple times. Overall, the best part about this vehicle was the 6 speed manual transmission, if it wasn’t for that, i would give it a 1 star review. Absolute junk, stay away.

Just traded in my Honda CRZ after 2 years. Bought it new, not at all worth the 20k I paid. This is a car that has all the potential, but none of the thought process it needs to be unique and worth it. The interior is typical cheap crap that scratches VERY easy. Since the car is low to the ground, you'll mainly do this getting out of the car. The engine shuts off when you stop the car, and this car dents VERY EASY. Engine shutoff was getting worse in mine. Also, it's slow as hell. Get ready for insane blindspots in this car. The hatch is not positioned properly, so changing lanes on the highway/backing up will be, let's say..fun LOL. My new Dodge dart is faster and gets the same gas mileage.
