5 THINGS WE LOVE ABOUT THE HONDA CR-Z!!

[@lunaticfade4044]

Couldn’t find a manual for sale, but found a automatic in my color….it’s been 2 months and I can say after having owned a EH Hatch, CRX, and two del Sols….the CR-Z fits well into the Honda 2 door family…one of the finest cars I’ve ever owned.

[@fallingclouds_]

Trunk space is definitely one of my favorite things. I usually keep my rear “seats” down and never use the privacy cover. That’s enough space for me to comfortably sleep in the back of my CRZ when the driver and passenger seats are leaned forward. I’m 5’8” for reference. I encourage anyone my height or shorter to give it a try just make sure u get a sleep mat or some kinda cushion cuz the floor of the trunk is pretty hard and uncomfortable

[@BalancePointMedia]

I actually love the fake seats up with the privacy cover being used lol, I kinda enjoy seeing out much I can fit in a tiny hatch back without having to pop the back.

Friends....Living the "other side" of "THE POND" you will be alarmed to know that just 3844 of the Honda CR-Z were manufactured for the UK Market, (with the steering on the correct side !!). Needless to confirm this Hybrid is now becoming extremely RARE...in particular with a superb 6 Speed HONDA Manual shift...most unusual....and truly Beautiful to look at. The driving experience is literally SECOND TO NONE...only single issue, take care when opening the Doors, the handle mechanism can break, (expensive and cumbersome to replace)....ENJOY YOUR PURCHASE...ABOVE ALL "STAY SAFE"...G.A.R.

broken handle on plastic snapping recently in 2002 honda heh.. common and yes.. a pain for one tiny plastic subpar piece the size of one peanut.

[@hansbuehler]

Your boy interrupts you continually! Maybe buying a CRZ today, thanks for the helpful video.

[@BalancePointMedia]

We like to think of it as a playful banter. Hope the CRZ pick up was fruitful!

[@fantomphoenix6170]

Gotta love the glove box cooler :) Also just learned you can get it to low gear with the CVT transmission by holding both paddles in, or at least for the 2013+

[@LCasapulla]

I love my 2013 EX CVT in Passion Berry Pearl…183K original miles. Still gets 38 to 40 mpg on the coastal California freeways. I’ve had to replace a worn-out cat and shocks/struts. Oil at 5K miles or earlier. She purrs. Got a new Integra 6 so I can spread miles between the lovely little Z. Needs paint but otherwise a glorious little car. I hope you clean yours up well inside and out. Need to know more to fix up yours, let me know and search the crzforum.

[@JSAFIXIT]

I'm looking into getting one of these. I currently own a fit as well, so I'm familiar with the platform but this looks so much nicer.

[@ajm9249]

This video has good vibes all around haha especially from the pup

[@bruceyung70]

Good review with lots of tidbits and thank you!

[@BalancePointMedia]

Thank you, we appreciate it!

[@stp479]

Sharp car and gets compliments wherever we go.

[@batmandeltaforce]

They really should reintroduce the crx with the Honda VTEC - K20C1 engine... 4WD

[@BalancePointMedia]

That would be insane lol

[@xletzyy]

Dang this gray is hot. I drive a bright red 2012.

[@hirampeter5467]

The only problem with the CRZ are the door handles. As the doors are heavy, the handle mechanism gives way quickly, and cannot be repaired. I am referring to the CRZ 2010 Model. As a result, the handle/s got to be replaced. My son who has his car in Ireland is frustrated with his right side handle mechanism. He ordered and got one on line. He will get it fixed tomorrow 8th Seotember'23. Hope that this is ok IF NOT PROBLEM. Do you have any idea of this handle problem? Please share a comment if possible. Thanks Hiram Peter.

[@BalancePointMedia]

My drivers side handle is a little wonky at the moment, I find that placing my thumb on the plastic in front of the door handle, gives it a more positive engagement to open nicely. Then once the door pops a little bit I’ll pull it open by the door itself, and not the handle. Haven’t had to replace the handle yet, but I’m sure I eventually will have to.

[@hman9581]

I have had mine for 7 years and had no real problems. I have black CRZ and the only problem which I have experienced so far is roof paint crazing.

[@cesarcazares6728]

When do the 15x8 TE’s come in?

[@shanefanon]

So ... what actually is the MPG's that the CR-Z is expected to achieve ?

[@BalancePointMedia]

It’s rated at 35 city/ 39 highway, my average is still going up, when I got the car it was between 27-29 I can’t remember exactly which off hand, but I’m currently at 32.8, and it’s still been climbing steadily.

[@ceirafagan8537]

I just bought mine and I was wondering if you could give me some more information on the battery and what more it does and how you know when it’s going back and also when you should or if you need to change it!!

[@dertythegrower]

seven to ten years and most 2010ish era ev need a new battery.. and it can be from 3k in a toyota hybrid to 10k for a tesla replacement these days

[@dertythegrower]

i meant ev, not rv ☝️

[@tc6793]

Let's do a K Swap

[@BalancePointMedia]

I do absolutely plan on k swapping the car, but not while on daily duty. Once I don’t have to take it to work all the time though. Absolutely!

@@fatrobdouble it was a clean title auto we got for $1000 so it was a no brainer
