Consumer Reviews
"After a year it is more fun than evGreat on AZ moutain roads. Sport mode is fun on twisties, but Econ is also fun in town trying to see many mpg you can get and still keep up with traffic. The electric motor gets the CRZ off from a stop very quickly."

"Purchased our 2012 CRZ in late Dec of 2011 (traded in my wife's 2010 Honda Fit which was little on the bumpy side for her). I have driven, what is now my car, 20K miles in 4.5 months. Please Note; I am not an economy car person, but I really like this car. I was attracted by the sweeping exterior looks, then realized the ride is as good as a Civic, the passing power is decent, the comfort level is excellent for weight of the car (longer than 3 to 4 hour trips are no problem for this independent senior citizen business owner). The kicker is I drive 75 to 77 mph and consistently go 320 miles for 8.5 to 8.7 gallons of corn gas - and the added feature is the Highway Patrol do NOT bother me. Frankly, I don't care what gas costs when I drive this car (coming from owner of new 2012 BMW X6 dual turbo, 2 C5 Corvette convertibles - one modified, 2010 V6 Malibu, 250 HD Ford pickup, Chevy Blazer w/ snow blade). When my wife and I go out to the mall, or any other goof-off trip, we always take the CRZ for manuvering in traffic and parking in packed lots and it is so cool when the motor shuts off at stoplights while everyone else is spewing fumes. What is also surprising is how many shopping packages, or nursery plants, or groceries, or dry cleaning, or travel clothes and shaving kits you can get in the hatchback. I really like this car; it is solid on icy roads and the air conditioning compressor does not noticeable reduce performance. I do have one note to HONDA - to make it perfect, keep the ECON Hybrid but add a turbo or a supercharger for a little more of the kid in me."

"I've owned the 2012 CR-Z for about two months now and my biggest complaint is that I'm constantly making up errands just so I have a reason to go for a drive. I truly love this car. Ignore the bad reviews and drive it yourself, you'll see. It's plenty quick (and that's coming from someone who has owned only 200+ HP car before this), drives like a go-kart (FUN!) and oozes Honda quality. But the best part - I get 43 MPG without even trying, and fall only to around 37 MPG when I drive it hard (I have the 6-speed manual tranny). All this AND it's cheap at $19K! What's not to love?"
