Had this car for 5 months now and can't wait to drive it each day. We live in the Rockies and travel to Salt Lake Utah valley often. Love the ride up and down the mountains. No lost of power coming up. Fuel average is 40 mpg. Sport car all the way!

I can't agree with the assessment made by the Edmunds reviewer about handling and performance. Having owned multiple sports cars (911s, 914, MGB, CRX Si etc) over the years, my just acquired 2014 EX model has surpassed my expectations, provides impressive lateral grip even with all season tires (more than most passengers will want to endure) and the acceleration in sport mode is comparable to a Miata, and more than adequate in normal. I just averaged 42.6 mpg on a 250 mile back highway road trip with speeds averaging 70mph. Interior fit and finish and quality of materials are on par with cars costing many thousands more, and the instrumention and dash is well designed and monitors many functions. All in all, this car deserved to carry the torch of the long revered CRX, and no it doesn't need a back seat!

2013 Honda CR-Z EX 2dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6M)

This is the only hybrid on the market that is available with a manual transmission. It is a 2-seater, with a very large cargo area, great for trips to Costco. The car is fun to drive, reliable like most Hondas, and performs well. It has 3 driving modes--normal, eco, and sport. I usually drive in eco mode, but it will really take off in sport mode. Looks great too! Still no maintenance required, other than oil and filter changes and new tires.

when you look at the stats and specs that this car is givin its misleading. saying its not fast enuf or the gasmilage isnt what its supost to be, i must disagree i got the 6mt and was told 31-38 thats not what im getting im up to 43 avg. and the 0-60 they claim im blowing it away and i havent even givin it all its got its about 6 sec witch is faster then any car in its price range the sport and eco buttons make a huge diffrence and the s+ gives you something extra too. i think if honda and other companies would have tested it properly they would have sold more. i wasnt going to buy it after looking up online reviews but after testing it i couldnt refuse its far more then they give it credit

Sporty 6 Speed Manual!

I picked up this little 2013, 6 speed manual CR-Z after the original owner hit a deer in it. The damage wasn’t horrible. I put a junkyard bumper, fender, and hood on it, and started driving it. I am amazed with the car! It is very peppy, fast and nimble. I have two nice Mercedes, and find myself driving this CR-Z most of the time. I put about $20 bucks gas in it a week. I am highly impressed with it. It doesn’t use a drop of any fluids, and low miles. I have since decided to keep it, and sell one of the Mercedes.
