A very special Honda Fit

For people looking for a unique hybrid that comes with a 6 speed manual option and some of the best styling in its class

Pros

  • Ride and Handling: While not the fastest, the car takes off the line very well and due to the balance of the front and rear ends it handles corners confidently.
  • Fuel Economy: EPA states the car gets 37 MPG on average but it isnt too difficult to get 40-45 with a light foot and long coasting stops.
  • Dashboard: One of the flashiest dashboards ive seen and displays a lot of information all at once

Cons

  • Power: 130 horsepower in the end is not that fast and expect other cars to catch up to you after that initial takeoff
  • Interior Space: The US model doesn't come with backseats and trying to squeeze someone back there can get scary if you need to
  • Value: Since it is technically a Honda Fit platform, the cat can cost up to $4-5k more which can be a big deal breaker since the Fit has 5 seats

Happiness Is The Honda CR-Z

Unique design and very well thought out amenities.

Pros

  • Styling: Modern design. Reliably and cost of ownership.
  • Fuel Economy: 39 miles per gallon highway, 36 City
  • Technology and Entertainment: Efficient and makes me feel safe.

Cons

  • Cabin Noise: Distracting sometimes
  • Interior Space: A 2 seater, I knew that when I bought it. I have a large Honda Accord if I want a bigger ride.

Fun without the speeding tickets.

The CR-Z is a fun little car that is great for commuting or just bombing around town. It looks great, too.

Pros

  • Ride and Handling: Great handling little runabout.
  • Styling: This car looks faster than it is ... a plus. I saw a couple taking pictures of my CR-z in the parking lot of Costco! They didn't realize it was my car as we passed each other. They were talking about how cool they thought it was.
  • Cargo Space: Like all good hatchbacks, the CR-z's cargo capacity is way above it's pay grade.

Cons

  • Visibility: Rear visibility is ... well there is no rear visibility, but you get use to it.
  • Ride and Handling: I wouldn't recommend the CR-z for extended road trips. The ride can be a bit harsh.
  • Power: I wanted a manual transmission but couldn't find a car with a stick and less than 75K miles so when this car appeared near me I snapped it up. I'm still not use to the CVT but if I don't concentrate on it, the car does fine particularly in "sport" mode.
