2012 Honda CR-Z User Reviews

Pros

Looks great, fun to drive, great mpg...

Cons

Rear view, but the side mirrors make up for it.

Purchased As New

It's difficult to find a well-designed and hot-engineered car that looks as good and offers as much technology standard for under $23,000. Honda has done it, and I really enjoy driving this fun little car anywhere. I sold my SLC and XJ6 and haven't regretted it. I'm hoping the next version of the CRZ will be even better!...read morehide

Pros

awesome gas mileage, sporty ride, one of a kind look.

Cons

not as fast as it looks, not so great acceleration.

Purchased As New

I love this car it has great gas mileage if you drive sensibly you can get around 42 mpg and still look great doing it. Awesome handling when you want to play on some backroads. Only bad things are that there is very little leg room, and it is not as fast as it looks. Great overall car though.

Pros

Feels like a sports car with great MPG

Cons

Only seats 2.

Purchased As New

The car is excellent overall. I average about 35mpg combined with any loss of power. The car has three modes to drive, Sport mode, EcoMode, and Normal mode. I love that i can shift between modes fluidly while driving. I use sport mode to get on the highways, and then kick back into Eco mode, with cruise control on. The cars power is amazing for its size. You will never have a problem getting around other drivers or accelerating quickly with sport mode on. Also the car is ahead of its time in terms of styling, it looks like nothing on the road today, and the interior looks much better than most anything. The ice blue controls and displays make you feel your in some high tech rocket ship. I love that its a good hybrid that turns heads, and also performs well. It combines the efficiency of Prius, with the power and style of sports car. When you get this car you will find excuses to get on the road, with the hybrid engine, you wont have to feel guilty about it either....read morehide

Purchased As New

I purchased my cr-z ex with nav. about a year ago, I now have 16,230 miles on it . fun to drive still getting head turning looks. I made some power improvement... k&n air system, s.s. exhaust, honda does a poor job of promotion on this car. no ad's in car mag's... no ad's on t.v. when honda shows it's car line up the cr-z is not in it. and the only differants in the 2012 model is a black interior... when most guys were looking for the turbo model !!! In all I still love my cr-z...read morehide

Pros

good fuel economy, spoety look and feel, lots of cargo space

Cons

rear visibility, plastic interior that is hard to clean

Purchased As New

I love the sporty look and feel of this car and the three driving modes give me control and flexibility. I live in fear of having an accident in this car as the visibility is very limited. The interior looks dirty very quickly and the plastic like materials do not clean easily. Car was garaged for a month while I was on vacation and the battery was dead when I returned. However, I still love driving this less than ideal vehicle....read morehide

I have a 2011 CRZ. I really like this car . The only problem I have is the visability driving at night time. On a hilly, curvy road the visability is about 10 ft. ahead. It looks like a window shade has been pulled 2/3's of the way down. I think this is unsafe. I have contacted the Honda customer service and I am awaiting a reply. The person I talked to at the 1-800# didn't have a clue. Is it the HID headlights?...read morehide

Pros

honda

Cons

calling it a hybrid

Purchased As Not Purchased

This is not a true hybrid! Honda uses a motor assist, the electric motor never moves the car on its own. IMA does improve fuel economy but to class it as a hybrid is just a marketing game. MILD HYBRID!!!
