A hybrid that feels like a sports car.
It does not feel like a box like some other hybrids. It has a nice interior and it has 3 driving modes; regular (normal pick-up ect), economy (a little less get up and go) and sport (when you need an extra kick of performance). Unlike other hybrid vehicles I test drove it does not lack power and does not seem like a cheap plastic toy car.

Perfect car for on-the-move lifestyle!
I got the CR-Z 5 years ago and it still works beautifully. The only services I've needed to do were routine and I travel a large amount of miles. The only minor issues I've ever had are that the headlights have to be manually turned on and off and I frequently forget to turn them off, and that when I come to frequent stops on a hot day, it gets very hot from the car turning off automatically. Aside from that, I personally love that feature because it saves a lot of gas. I fill my car up as frequently as anyone else but the cost to fill up is much less. Some of my favorite things about the car are that I can't lock the car with the keys unless the car doors are closed (so I can't lock in keys), the hatchback provides a lot of trunk space which is good for traveling, and the back up camera is crystal clear. I wouldn't want any other car for my on the move lifestyle.

Best car I have ever owned!
Totally reliable. I have done normal maintenance (oil changes, filters, tire rotation) only. She does 0-60 in 10 seconds, but also gets great mileage (45 mpg) when driven conservatively. She handles great on snow and ice with blizzak tires, no studs. I love this car and will keep her forever!!

A sporty hybrid?? You bet!
This two-seater hatchback hybrid is a fun a sporty ride. Gets just under 40 per gallon so not as good as the Prius but way more power and way more fun to drive. I haven't had it very long yet so I cannot speak to ongoing reliability but for a fun sporty ride it is great!

Most reliable car we've ever had.
The Honda CR-V is such a relatable car for first time buyers, repeat buyers, new family’s, etc. We've had Honda’s all our lives and they will run forever. Keep up with the basic maintenance features of owning a car and you will have a Honda forever, or geese trade in value for a new one.

My vehicle is perfect for my age group (16-24).
Never really had problems but it drives very smooth and I love that it has a backup camera. The car is perfect for drive in movies and getting where you need to go. The locks itself if it is been unlocked for too long which is really nice if you always forget to lock your car.

I gets about 50 miles to the gallon. It typically takes me 3 weeks to go through a tank of gas.
I have yet to experience a problem. It drives smooth. It get great gas mileage. I love how all the stereo and dashboard is angled to the driver. I love how small it is yet it doesn't feel cramped. I like the sporty look it has even though it is a hybrid.

My car could use some maintenance and love.
My car has been pretty reliable, however it is getting quite old. I'll hold onto as long as I can, but in the meantime I'm looking for a new car. My only complaint is that some of It's driver features are obscured by the wheel.

Small, sporty hybrid with style.
While the car is a bit low for me, it is a fun car to drive and gets me where I need to go. Since it is a hybrid, I enjoy the positive environmental impact, however I might need to replace the battery soon and that can cost up to $10k. While I love Honda's, I will not likely but this particular model again.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Elizabeth S.

It has fantastic gas mileage, it is very aesthetically pleasing (in my not so humble opinion), I find it fun to drive. It is also a sport hybrid, so acceleration pickup is actually just as good as other non hybrid sedans I have driven, even better than some.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Elizabeth S.

It only has two seats. It is a pro for now, but I won't be able to keep the car when I have a kid because I can't keep a car seat in the front seat. Another con is not of the car itself, but that they discontinued making the vehicle making future repairs potentially harder.
