Honda CR-Z
The Honda CR-Z, introduced in 2011, combines the efficiency of a hybrid with the fun-to-drive spirit of a sports coupe. Its attractive styling is inspired by the automaker's iconic CR-X model from the 1980s, but its powertrain is all modern. Combining a 1.5-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor, it delivers good performance and even better fuel economy. Handling is also a CR-Z strong suit, while the available six-speed manual transmission further enhances driver engagement. However, the little Honda does have a few shortcomings. Its hybrid system, while efficient, lacks the oomph that some may expect given its sporty looks. Also, the CR-Z's two-seat configuration limits its everyday practicality. Additionally, some owners find that rear visibility is compromised due to the car's split rear window design. Buyers should also note that Honda discontinued the CR-Z after the 2016 model year.

I wish the driver side vents blew on me. They blow above my head. And I'm 5'9". And I wish there was an armrest between the seats. Love love love the headlights.

Would love arm rests in this car. Would also love for the passenger seat to fold down/forward for more space when loading stuffing the hatch. My PT Cruiser had it and it was an awesome feature. I love everything about it except it is red. I wanted it in blue but couldn't wait 2-3 months for the color to come in.

I love driving my new Honda CRZ. I only wish it was quieter. It's a little noisy.

I love my new car! I LOVED my old car too, my Honda CRX and thought nothing could take her place, this car has quickly surpassed her, she's just a modern updated version. There was no other choice in a new car for me and I was so happy to find out that the follow up to the CRX is a Hybrid! This comes in super handy since a lot of my driving is local. :}
