The CR-Z is a success for HONDA and its owners

In spite of its apparent small size, the front cabin is full size and comparable to much larger cars. The rear hatchback area is quite good and swallows up most everything I put into the car. It is not an SUV but plenty of gear and luggage fits back there. The CR-Z is extremely economical and returns about 39-40 mpg. I have the automatic variable transmission which is smooth and reliable. The ride is quite comfortable, the seats are excellent quality and comfort. Headroom is good and the A/C is excellent. The beautiful dash instruments are amazing and very helpful. The super large digital speedometer is the greatest! It takes a few days to get used to the engine shutting down at traffic lights and it becomes normal after a while. The engine springs to life instantly whenever you release the brake. It is an amazing system. The only fair criticism of the car's design is the blind spot on the rear quarters. The rear hatch lift gate has the annoying horizontal bar of the window. After a short while, even that becomes acclimated to. Using and relying on the large side mirrors becomes a standard habit. Of course, the CR-Z is a very appealing and dynamic looking car. I frequently am given favorable comments of appearance of the car.

I love my 2013 Purple CR-Z

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

I have only had my CR-Z for two months, but I love it. I owned a 1985 CRX-SI, and the CR-Z is the flower child of the CRX with current tech functionality. When looking for a new vehicle, my main requirement was it had to be PURPLE, and the Passion Berry Pearl is a beautiful deep/dark purple. The continuously variable transmission is an adjustment, since I always drove a manual transmission, but I enjoy not having to use a clutch. I am still waiting to get the mileage mentioned on the Honda website, but most of my driving so far has been city driving, with lots of hills and stop and go. Still, I am averaging 30 mpg. I look forward to my first road trip to test the fuel efficiency.
An awesome blend--

I had a 2006 Mini. Same MPG as my CRZ but used premium. The CRZ has proven to be more practical for stuff than the Mini was for me. Traded the Mini in 18 months on an Prius. 50 MPG--but--BORING !! No driver connection at all. Makes the CRZ feel like an Elise! My CRZ is base with a CVT-- BUT paddle shifters and sport mode and this buggy can zoom down a twisty country road with great aplomb and put a smile on an road course instructors face too. I have been getting 38-42 MPG per tank as well. I've tested the Fiesta, Focus and some Asian itty-bittys. The CRZ is much sportier as a momentum car, not a point and squirt car like most car magazine reviewers want. I just wish it was RWD. updated 3/12/16-- I traded the CRZ in. It had 73,000 miles on it and was still doing all the things as I first reviewed. However--It was getting loud. A sign to me it was showing wear. The exhaust, engine, road noise, suspension and rattles. It was still getting near 40 mpg combined --even on winter gas. One of its biggest downfalls-- nobody wanted to work on it but the dealer. I had a battery issue that left it unwilling to start. My preferred neighborhood repair shop (which works on everything from Chevies to Lamboghinis) said they weren't equipped to deal with hybrids beyond inspection and oil changes. However, AAA gave it a jump the first time and all was well--for 2 weeks. Second time the jump didn't work--nothing. I had it towed to the dealer. Nearly a week later they called to say it was ready. Now in their defense, the car was dropped on them out of the blue on a Friday morning, so they had to find a window to check on it. The repair order did not indicate what (if anything) was repaired. They said they did not replace the battery and it did look like the same battery. However, it did work for the weeks I drove it before being stashed for the winter. But, since Honda decided to drop the model--So did I. I traded it on a 2008 BMW 128i convertible with 89,000 miles. Except for the rattles that I suspect come with a convertible, everything about it is quieter.--- And it Is RWD !

My 3rd Honda hybrid

It's not sporty nor hybrid enough for the hard-core in either camp but I find it a great compromise. That may sound bad to some but I love it for that & can't say enough about the CVT. Having one before and another on our other car, I am pleased with the economy of a CVT anyway but this one including the three modes (four when you figure out the "Sport" can work as automatic OR paddle shifted) makes for a quite broad range of "compromise". Enjoy!

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.

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!

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

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.

It looks and behaves like a sport car...but it is still a hybrid. I purchased it for a terrific price with only 21000 miles on it...it got 42 to 43 on the freeway and gets 36 in the city...not bad!
