It's a hybrid that gets better than advertised gas mileage.
Love the gas mileage. Love the small size and the fact that it only seats two people. Love that it is versatile as a hatchback. Complaint that I had to replace the IMA system under warranty.

Reliable and cheap on gas.
Fast and saves gas. I is the perfect commuter vehicle. I like the sporty look and comfort of drive. It doesn't have the immediate pick up speed that other cars have.

Small, reliable, and nimble 2-seat hatchback with multiple drive modes and solid fuel economy.
Very reliable and fun to drive while efficient for commuting moderate distances to work and having a solid amount of space in rear. Ideal for someone that does not have kids as there is no rear seats. Averages around 35mpg. USB plug in for music and bluetooth for hands free calling. Comfortable seats in more of a sport position. Multiple driving modes allow for quick switching depending on situation. Definitely good to be able to swap when you need more power or when you're looking for maximum fuel economy.

Cute and environmentally safe!
My 2011 Honda CR-Z is the best! It gets around 35-42 MPG depending on the day and whether I drive on the highway or city. The blind spots are terrible, but if you add the rounded mirrors that attach to the side mirrors help A TON! Other than that I have noticed no problem.s

It's unique and fun to drive
I use my car to drive back and forth to work every day. It's a hybrid so very good on gas, I fill up about once every 3 weeks. It's fun to drive and sometimes people stop me in parking lots to ask me about my car. It is unique. I have not had any maintenance issues with my car.

Honda CRZ the Gas Sipper the dealer is unable to work on successfully.
I love my CRZ and have not had any mechanical issues with the hybrid engine. It sips gas like no other car I have owned. The cockpit is comfortable and secure. My only complaints would be that the airbags were recalled and it took over 4 years before they had enough airbags to replace mine, then they messed up the sensor (all at the Honda dealer) now it is always showing an airbag issue. They also messed up my tire sensors and those also are constant on with an issue. Bottom line, great car, fun to drive, amazing gas mileage. Just do not let the Honda Dealer do any repairs or warranty work!

Loving the 6 speed manual option .
I absolutely love my vehicle! The gas mileage is amazing and inexpensive to fill. The fact that it is partially hybrid helps. There is very low maintenance required for this vehicle, for example oil changes once every 6 months. There are three different driving options, so no performance power or speed is lost. This vehicle is more than capable of keeping up with traffic. Love it, love it, love it!

Why I love my cr-z: from a former CR-V lover to a cr-z lover.
Other than the airbag continuing to show it needs something, I have had no problems with this car. It gets great gas mileage, it is comfortable and has a surprising amount of room in the back for a 2-seater. Air is cold, heat is warm, you can literally park anywhere!

It's a good family car and a good car for traveling.
I like the car but it is loud. It is spacious and would recommend.
accountCircle Marco A
It is a car that is fun to drive it is sporty and great on mileages.
It is a fun car to drive for you and another person. It has great mileage specially in eco. The car is reliable it has a large trunk and plenty of space. The only problem I have is the rear view mirror, it is difficult to see but it is not a deal breaker.
accountCircle William H
Good car for the cost, but it is lacking many features.
Somewhat sporty. Two-door Insurance too high. Good gas mileage, but was expecting better. Too much road noise to actually use built-in system for phone calls. Map system very outdated.
accountCircle Jus K
Cheap running but expensive to fix
I like that my car is electric and gas. Saves money on fuel. The town side is replacing the battery. It costs average 3000 dollars. I will sell my car before then to avoid this big expense. Other than that cars runs great and quiet
accountCircle Justin A
Great on gas and dependable, not the most roomy car though
It's excellent on gas, that's the main reason I bought it. But it also has a terrible blind spot. I've had several close calls because of the blind spot.

Small car that can carry a lot.
Great gas conservation and excellent steering ratios. Love being able to turn full circle on most city streets, the blue cobalt color is stunning. Dents and scratches are not easily seen. It is able to fit into my small garage wonderfully. The interior is just my size.
