Two seater, awesome mileage fun!
It's been a great car. The only trouble we have had is with a air sensor in one of the tires. It gets good mileage. It costs $25 to fill it up and it will go all week. It's the perfect little excursion car for my husband and I. We always get comments on it, too. Its beautiful!

It speaks to who I am. Both the unique style and it being hybrid make a statement as to how I view Life.
This is my first hybrid car and I feel good about that as it helps the environment and gets me good gas mileage. I love the style. It looks like a small spaceship. My only regret is I had to buy used instead of new, like I wanted.

It is a safe automobile. It does not get good gas mileage.
I love keyless entry. I hate you cant leave close doors while running. I hate the interior color. I love the color.

The sound system is amazing I like the options for mode I want. Cost effective
So easy and smooth to drive and navigate I love the sleekness overall look of it and how it has the ECO mode or the sport mode goes really fast on the highway it's great on gas. I love the hatchback feature gives me a lot of room in the trunk to store things and the seats are comfortable

It's a sporty car that gets decent mileage and is very fun.
It's pretty slow but extremely fun to drive. When I save up some money I will eventually put a turbo on it to make it a lot faster. So far I have had no problems except the most common of when you install any type of lights you get error codes. Overall a great vehicle.

It's reliable, gas saver and hybrid. I can rely on it and will last for a very long time.
I like that it's fuel efficient. It can go up to 43 miles per gallon in the freeway. I don't like that it is only a two seater.

2012 Honda cr z review and car details.
I have owned the 2012 cr-z for about two months now and my biggest complaint is that I am 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 is plenty quick (and that is 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.

Blind spots, car low to the ground, broken parts.
It has terrible blind spots on the sides, other than that it performs very well. On my car the container that hold the windshield wiper fluid broke and no longer will hold fluid. Unsure how that happened, possibly because of bottoming our due to the cars lowness to the ground.

Quick little car that is a great commuter!
This is a great little car it is quick and reliable. The only problems that it has are purely cosmetic. It has some big blond spots but you get use to them and start checking over your shoulder more, and it does not have a center console but you can buy one on amazon for a pretty good price. Other than that it's a great car.
