Used 2014 Honda CR-Z Consumer Reviews
"Sport Hybrid" That isn't that sporty or efficient
I test drove a 2012 CR-Z EX manual transmission with 65K miles . I read every review and long term test in preperation before stepping on the lot. For a little context, I have owned a 02 Accord DX, 93' Civic DX, and a 2010 Honda Fit Base all manual transmissions. I know small Honda's pretty well and hoped the CR-Z would be a moderately zippy 2 seater that could spirit-fully take a turn. What I found was a car that was slower and did not handle as well as my Fit. On the upside, the CR-Z is extremely cheap to insure(Hybrid owners are considered safer) and gets pretty good MPG. The downside, well it's not really GOOD at anything. Again, it's not a good sports car or hybrid. There are a handful of Hondas that can offer a fun driving experience with comparable MPG and more than two seats. So why would you bother? Maybe it's the styling or perhaps the size works well for you in the city or you just want something different. Either way, if you know what you're getting into it's not a bad car it just doesn't make sense.

200k miles and still going
I have own seven cars in my lifetime and this is by far my favorite to drive. My car is 7 years old and it has 200,000 miles on it... I'm going to end up keeping this when I purchase my next car. Update Sold car at 206k

Sporty looking, comfy, but small.
This is a sporty commuter car, not for long distance travel. This car is a blast on the back roads handles nice and is responsive and is efficient. That’s where it ends! The car is under powered and suffers on the highway economy tanks to 30-36 mpg with isn’t awful but considering that it’s a hybrid is very disappointing. It’s a two seater with little storage and not comfortable for long trips.
