2012 Honda CR-Z consumer reviews

Got this car in 2017 with 80k miles. In the spring summer and fall the car got about 35-39 mpg. In the winter it went to a low of 32 mpg. Saved tons on gas only filling up the roughly 8 gal tank once a month. The ride is fun just straight fun! The handling feels fantastic in total control at all times! It both rides like and feels like a go kart right turns and fast acceleration. Don’t be fooled by the small engine the car can easily reach 60 mph and above and maintain it. Would highly revoke this car for anyone looking for something 10k or under that is looking for a car that while being not too expensive looks unique and high end. Plenty of trunk space almost a deceiving amount with adjustable “back seat”. There is a “back seat” but without seatbelts it is not legal to have passengers l. With surround sound the speakers have quality sound that goes all around the car and sound nice. Personally put the car through tough circumstances driving it through dirt rounds in the winter up a mountain and it handled beautifully despite not being made for that at all. Performs best on back roads where speed limit is 30-50 mph. Objectively I would say that the only downsides are there are only two seats but being small can have pros too and the cold weather and the car being particularly electric the battery depletes semi often. Also on some models or maybe all (idk I only had one model) the lights are not automatic and and there will be a beep sometimes if you leave them on when the keys are out but there have been times when it did not and I left the lights on. But all in all the car is quick, fast, stable, and more reliable and sturdy then it seems. Again the handling feels amazing and works wonders in corners. HIGHLY RECOMMEND bang for your buck.

This car is fast, stylish, and compact which has a lot of trunk space. Very reliable never had any mechanical issues, runs smoothly. The a/c blows strong and cold. I get a lot of compliments because of the sleek look and aesthetics of the car.

I love this car. Easy to drive, economical and quick handling for a car of its pedigree. Fit and finish are excellent. Seats fit well but not the most comfortable on long drives.

I use this car for shorter trips (work/groceries/appointments), mainly in the summertime. I rarely drive any car with more than two people in it. So this Honda model made perfect sense for me. The cruise control is perfectly tuned - does not drop on uphill climbs. So highway driving is a pleasure. The lack of a backup camera is okay with me - but I would trade it in on a new one if they still manufactured this model!

This is one of the best cars I have ever owned! It is fuel efficient, comfortable low maintenance. I would buy another just like the one I currently own.

Perfect first car, Average MPG 38/42 city/hwy; If you want something different you should consider it. The Honda CR-Z is a two-seater sporty hybrid; Even though it?s a small hatchback, the CR-Z has about 25 cubic feet of cargo space; manufactured in Japan.

The gas mileage on this hybrid was excellent and it was very fun to drive! The exterior styling was also very cool. Having only two seats was inconvenient at times.

This is an excellent car for a single person. It only seats two but has 25 square feet of storage. It is fun to drive and gets great has milage.

The most common complaint is that this car is slow, which is true. This car shares a small 1.5L engine with the previous Honda fit, with a little extra power added from the hybrid system. However, it is an amazing handling car. Because of these traits the car is a blast to drive hard on backroads, and you can enjoy this fun little car without breaking traffic laws like cars with more power. In my 25k miles owning this car, I have averaged a little over 41 mpg. Few cars can claim to be this fun AND this economical! The 3 stars for comfort was given due to the harsh ride over rougher roads. This car has a fairly stiff suspension to improve handling and cornering abilities for "spirited" driving. As a result, it does not have the smoothest ride. In my opinion, the rough ride is worth the good handling!

I bought my 2012 CRZ in Jan. 2013, so over 4 years and I've only had trouble with the AC which was easily fixed at the dealership. Also had trouble with the tire pressure warning coming on all the time, but I invested in a full set of high performance tires and doesn't happen so much anymore. I definitely recommend this for a single person since it only takes one passenger. But I love the mileage and I do a lot of commuting so over 40+ mpg regularly.
