2015 Honda CR-Z EX 2dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I bought this car for commuting to work. Now my wife wants to take it as much or more than I do. Sporty look. Enough cargo for both of us to get away for a few days. Gas mileage is better than advertised, especially in ECON mode. The only issues I have are legroom is a bit tight for me (I am 6'3") and the radio does not pair without a cable. Otherwise the car is absolutely great! I see a lot of Prius on the road, but would buy 10 CRZ's before I'd buy one of those. A few months have passed since the original post. Still enjoying the CRZ; it has exceeded my expectations. The only issue I have had is connecting my iPhone to play music. Worked for a while, but now I am unable to get a connection. Wireless would have been a better alternative. Otherwise, very pleased overall.

best driver-oriented hybrid for the money

I get compliments. It handles the road better than its competition. It can be driven hard and return 26 to the gallon. The transmission has no slop at 24,000 miles, the steering is still sharp. It has excellent storage capacity. It's easy as heck to park, and with proper orientation of the mirrors and a tiny bit of moving your head like any safe driver would, the sleek rear end does hinder you with blind spots.

The Coolest Hybrid on the Market

I fell in love with the CR-Z the moment I laid eyes on it. I loved the 80's sports car look (which is based on the old CR-X) and the very modern interior design. Better yet, the car is economical with crazy good gas mileage. The reviews of this car don't do it justice- this car is not intended to be a sports car. It's meant to be a hybrid that's fun to drive and performs like a sports car, and on that count it passes with flying colors. One complaint I frequently saw is about rear and side visibility. I've had no problems once I got used to the car.
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.

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!

Bought nearly new 2015 with only 8,000 miles. This is a 2nd car for me used purely for highway commuting or some fun driving from time to time. It’s just me so the lack of a back seat means nothing. I’m 6’1” and the seat is very comfortable. Seat isn’t even all the way back. In sport mode it is not straight line fast, but is very quick. Steering is sharp and sticks to the road pretty well. I would classify this as very fun to drive compared to any compact/subcompact. It’s not a true sports car and all the reviews knocking it aren’t fair in my opinion. For what it is, it’s a blast to drive. Best of all, my pure highway commute using eco mode and cruise control is bringing back 48+ mpg every tank. I plan to keep this as long as possible as a commuter. Only downside for me is getting in. You do really almost fall in. Sits pretty low. Getting out isn’t bad though.

A not-so-hot Honda

The CR-Z is very sporty looking, and it probably has the Honda quality, but driving it is uninspiring. The blind spot to the rear is severe, you really need a back-up camera. The seats are low and no matter where you position the steering wheel, it blocks some of the many gauges. I didn't buy it.
I love the crz I had a 2015
