Lots of Room for a 2-Seater!

First off, I love my CRZ. We were on a waiting list to get one when they first came out. Test drove it, and it was instant love. Having had the car for about two years now, we still love it. Part of me wishes they would come out with a 4 seater version, but then I guess it would loose some of its appeal? There is a WHOLE lot of room in this tiny car. I kid you not, we bought a queen sized bed frame, mattress, etc (From Ikea of course -.-) and we fit it in the car?! Amazing. It also fits multiple full sized bikes, without taking off the wheels. I don't recommend it.. you might mark your interior plastics.. It's really fun to drive and great on gas. We easily average about 40mpg

I'm not a treehugger. This car caught me with it's design and road feel. The performance is available to you, and as a bonus you get some pretty amazing gas savings. I've been averaging between 43-48mpg on the highway. Everything about this car is tailored to the driver and you really feel that this is your vehicle, not the passengers. It's quick to accelerate, handles great around corners, and is a fun car. The rear of the car has plenty of storage space unless of course you have a Great Dane. Plenty of leg room, great sound system, and exceptional quality really add value to this vehicle. Not to mention it takes up so little space in the garage.

I absolutley love this car. It is sporty, has a cool 3d dash, has some power in sport mode, and has style! It is not a tire shreader ... but much 1000X better than the veloster I traded in! The car even handels decent. Yes, it does not have rear seats and the real mpg is about 35-37mpg in eco mode ... 30-32mpg in sport mode ... but it is perfect as the daily go to work car.

Have had my Z for about four years now just love it . It's The most fun I've had in a car in a long time . I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone not sure why people think no backseat Is a bad thing . other cars have backseats and are very uncomfortable .most people drive in cars by themselves . I get 37 miles per gallon always have it in sport. ( guess I could get better gas mileage if I try probably wouldn't be as much fun )

100k miles in 3 years of commuting 120 miles a day

Bought this car in 2020 at an auction. At first I thought it was too small and hated that there were no back seats. It turned out to be the biggest blessing ever especially after gas prices and used cars shot up in value. I commute 65 miles to work one way. I bought the car with 67k miles on it and now it has over 160k. It still runs pretty much exactly the way it did when I bought it, great! Only major repair was the clutch burning out at around 150k miles which is pretty much expected. Besides that just regular maintenance. I have had some electrical issues with the headlights due to the previous owner installing ridiculous headlights but I can't blame that on the car. I have even driven this car in heavy rain and light snow storms (northeast US) although I don't recommend it, I've never gotten stuck due to nice traction control feature. I'm 5'10'', 215 lbs and I don't love getting in and out of the car but other than that its pretty comfortable. I've actually taken the wife and dog on road trips with a full trunk many times, somehow we made it work. It was worth it for a car that I know won't break down and gets 40mpg. At first I wanted to flip the car and get a civic but now I think I'm going to ride this baby to the wheels fall off... and then probably buy some new wheels. Thank you God for this car!
