TOP 5 REASONS why I LOVE! my Honda CR-Z!

[@merc7paul]

Finally a crz KZbinr, I've had mine since 2011 no issues with battery or anything else over 160k miles (260k Kms) literally only thing that pisses me off is the lack of power and can't carry anyone in the rear seats but I have no friends so it's cool

[@UbanteGarage]

Sukun Unosawa 🤣🤣🤣 we can be friends bro 🤷🏾‍♂️ but I’m stoked to hear that! 160k! Looking forward to hitting that on mine 😂 and yea it’s definitely a commuter/ fun run car and beneficial to have a 4 seater on the side 😅

[@Cinnnaban]

This is really good to hear because I'm coming up on 100k on mine; bought at 60k about a year ago; and the only thing I'm worried about is nightmare battery maintenance;

[@ExecutiveChefAndre]

The car looks amazing and also I dont want to drive other people around, the more seats the more people no no hehe

[@domenicmuto4738]

Just came across your message on this video. I'm actually about to purchase a 2011 crz with 132,000 miles on it do you recommend it, and has your car been reliable for you? As well even with the cvt transmission has it been reliable for you?

[@ryanpartlan5813]

I think every CRZ owner loves their CRZ ;) Just got mine 2 weeks ago and I think it's an awesome little car!

[@UbanteGarage]

ryan partlan I agree! But there is a few things i dislike and found to dislike over the last 4 years... that video will be up soon! 😅

[@Prince_Unknown1]

Ryan, did you get it as a daily ?

[@Dongesp]

I love mine! My first one was a 2014, very basic trim. When I found out Honda was stoping after the 2016, I went and bought a new 2016.

[@BatManokov]

It's has a Cult following 🖤

[@juliaxander]

I think the CRZ is a super under rated car. I love how small it is, the gas mileage. I get compliments on mine all the time. At least around where I live, you never see a CRZ at the car shows either

[@UbanteGarage]

totally agree. Im debating on buying another one lmfao jk kinda

But why put a wing on it? Thats stupid.

I got a 2011 manual today with 6-speed. I am so excited. I possibly will get my hood and roof painted. The motor and everything are great. My air conditioner was not put on however when in the Economy mode it's ice cold. If anyone else can advise on the air please do. I am reading manual. Again I am a Happy camper. Nice Video

[@charliegilg5756]

Aloha from Hawaii! As for gas mileage, I use Ethanol Free gas. I tested it after two complete tank fulls. The MPG went up to 42-44 local driving and 51 highway. I also tried it on my 2002 Odyssey van, but it didn't make any difference. My CR-Z tires are supposedly made for good mileage, and I have the CVT. I do love this thing, except for the (stock) low front end that seems to scrape everything. I'm currently fixing the bumper and adding a camera above the front license plate so I can stop BEFORE I hit the curb. Love your videos. Keep them coming!

[@UbanteGarage]

Damn thats high mpg! Good to see my content is reaching back home in da islands! cheee

[@justloading6377]

I got a 2011 one yesterday for my first car. People stared at it a lot on the drive to my apartment and at first, I was confused but it looks so different compared to a lot of other cars. I kind of understand why.

It’s a very good looking car Forsure! And there isn’t many running around at all. My wife got recorded driving and got pissed lol It’s just the beginning 😂

I would recommend it Forsure! It’s just a fun car with more pros then cons

[@Rncfbnx]

Definitely looking at this for a daily. I have a 20’ Type R right now and while I love it and have been using it as a daily for 7-8 months now. But I want a CRZ for a more chill drive especially when I’m feeling lazy.

[@mjshaheed]

The Euro version of the car came with the backseat. It is really disappointing that the US version didnt come with it. They also had GT version in Europe.

[@bikerdude7858]

Stumbled on ya. Yeppers- You either love them on don't understand them. I picked up a "13" EX - purple basically new with 25K 3 years ago from a dealer that was sitting collecting dust. Offered a ridiculous low price and just waited. About 2 months later - guess who called! Now drove it 30,000 miles with 000000 problems. 42 MPG Average. So love the Sport mode on Freeway Cruise. Funny thing is when I roll up on Subaru punks and they see this OG (57 yr) in the seat. Take the hybrid badge off the back and replaced with a Boosted badge. Such a hoot.

[@UbanteGarage]

Damn thats awesome that you got it for a steal! They're awesome cars and its always funny seeing kids not knowing these cars are hybrids trying to line up 😂

[@cokecamilo]

I bought a 14 model in 2016 with 50k miles. 2022 is almost here and I am at 63k miles. This car is cheap and super fun to drive. Now that I finished my PhD and got a big boy job I want to do a serious performance enhancement on it ... Any ideas? I saw your other video with the suggestions for bars for handling improvement, but I am willing to drop some cash on an engine, or even go crazier with an additional electric power plant... I am willing to turn this car into a sleeper car 🚗

[@Darylrb1983]

At one point they made a supercharger kit for it. There MAY be a turbo kit, I could be wrong. If you're looking for power.

Haha if you want new with style I’d definitely get a crz! And yes girls do love these cars 😂

[@lunaticfade4044]

Honestly I prefer the base model radios to the upgraded screens...the screens have a few neat options on them...but the stripped down utilitarian radios of the base models just give the car a more "roadster" feel...besides the NAV systems at this point are outdated...the real gem of the dashboard of any CR-Z is the gauge cluster and the little radio screen in the upgraded models feel like they're trying to compete with the gauges .

[@voltron979]

After this video.., I think I made my choice for my next car... CRZ!!! THANKS for helping me making up my mind bro.

I'm trying to find why people love this I have a 2013 honda civic, in the spring/summer/fall (I live in a very cold state in the Winter so MPG drops to about 30mpg) but I usually get 35MPG in all the other seasons. It pull 140 horsepower, which is more than the CRZ. Gets almost the same MPG, and is much bigger. All for right near the same price, plus no need to worry about a hybrid battery. It's dead simple. Yeah. It doesn't look the best compared to a CRZ, but it's better in almost every other way from what I can find.

[@raquelrenae1762]

Just a drivers choice most of us already loved the crx so we got the crz and I don’t like giving people rides and add a turbo and it can hang wit the big boys

Hey I have a 2014 CRZ EX and I am wondering if you can recomend a reflector for the windshield. Since the windshield is so long and the visors are short I have trouble finding reflectors that can stay put especially under the California sun.

@@UbanteGarage I think I have mistaken myself. I mean a sun shade. I tinted most of my windows, except for the windshield since California law barely lets you tint it, I have been searching for a sun shade where it can cover a fair amount and not fall off since the visors are short on the CRZ.

[@UbanteGarage]

if you want gas mileage and fun canyon carving get the crz. If you need a little more space and 4 seats get the focus

[@morallyemptycorruptedmaggot]

Tough choice. Both cheap. The ST clearly outperforms the CRZ in everyway, but the CRZ is so much more unique and probably more rewarding to mod and get more out of. But then the ST has the aftermarket support... jeez.

@@UbanteGarage it looks super clean man. Well taken care of. I've never had one and I hear the negatives about it so I'm iffy about the purchase.

[@UbanteGarage]

What would it be used for?

[@alekdamyanov375]

For those looking to pick up a CR-Z and planning to K swap I advise to look for a 2011 or 2012 as the K20Z3 engine from an Si fits like a glove. All you need is Hasport mounts and harness and you're ready to go. Minimal hacking required.

[@UbanteGarage]

Alek Damyanov good to know! All I need is mounts and the harness 😁

[@UbanteGarage]

It will but the 2011-12 is the easiest when it comes to wiring and less mods to work

[@joshrees2742]

Seriously considering selling my SC400 and getting one of these, I need a better daily for the amount I drive. How's the hybrid battery on these? I've been trying to find more info but just trying to figure out whats high for mileage on them. I found a 2011 with around 85k miles for a good price but I don't want to get it and have to worry about the battery replacement cost.

[@UbanteGarage]

I don’t blame you man, sc400’s are dope but these are great little cars! High mileage would be 100+ tbh, and the batteries are different on newer models. You’d have to look for info on that.. mine just passed 115k and it’s still going strong. Battery lights can go on as early as 80k to as late as 250+ but most people panic and it’s just the normal 12v battery 😂

[@juniorrod3035]

Where you get the seat covers?

[@UbanteGarage]

clazzio! you can find them on google

[@MegaSanta27]

Love my 14' bro! the black interior is definitely a plus in this model 😍 and I feel ya on the replica parts deal. Shouldn't be bashed for it if the person couldn't tell from the very first time seeing it, your replica wing I'd legit af 👍

[@UbanteGarage]

Yea I’m pretty j when it comes to having grey interior 😂 but I support rep parts for the most part as long as they make it fit right. Not wheels tho... lol

Those wheels look awesome on that car

Thanks! favorite wheel on any car!

Feeling one of these but there are only auto’s around me (which isn’t a deal breaker in my books). Thoughts?

[@UbanteGarage]

If your looking for a fun car 6spd is the way to go. I’d wait for one of those

[@ruboy]

@@UbanteGarage Thanks for your input, man! Sadly I don’t think one will ever show :( I’m in Australia where they really didn’t make huge sales - it’d just be my lil’ daily anyways

[@KingNeu]

Been in the market for a manual CRZ. The only things holding me back on it is the batteries on these and insurance & parts/repairs are costly. I hear they need to be replaced way too soon (under 120k miles) and those go for $2000+ 😅.

[@UbanteGarage]

ImNeu there people with 200k+ original battery. I’m at 116k no issues. But I get your worries

Thing I'm worried about is how much it cost for a hybrid battery replacement I'm looking at an 11 plate with 40 thousand miles on the clock would it be too expensive to replace as I think it would run ok for another 6 years without changing it ?

[@UbanteGarage]

andrew that’s really low miles

[@UbanteGarage]

I’d be worried about if it’s been running routinely to keep the battery healthy. If these cars aren’t driven for more than a month the hybrid battery goes bad. I’m not saying that one is bad cause I’d definitely be interested myself. But I’d make sure to test drive it long enough for anything they did to reset codes to pop up again. If all seems good it should be good. If it’s bad and you replace it I’m not sure how long they normally last. But mine is on the original. 9 years old with no issues with the hybrid battery

[@Andrew-el8xi]

Great ok thanks for getting back too me ..your car is awesome . Black's really hard too get hold ov .I'm from England there mostly white but I love the shape ..thanks for the tips ..

[@ImJustLeon]

Also comes with a 10 year battery warranty from the factory on newer models. I think older models had a 8 year battery warranty. Hopefully someone can verify this for me.

[@tro552]

John Ubante x UbeyMade how many miles on yours after 9 years bro... I’m in the same boat as most on here I think? Don’t want to buy a second hand one if I’ve gotta change battery’s! Got any tips for a second hand buyer to look out for?

@@UbanteGarage hey John thx for your help. I only need to restore the seats for it to be perfect. sent you a pictures of the seats on instagram. I think I am getting a really good deal interior will be a 8.5 or 9 after the seats are done and exterior is deff a 9/10 I got him to cut the price down to 14.5 and he puts new tires on it. I am just wondering how much am I looking at for restoring the seats. After all that I guess 14.5 sounds really fair but I really need to know what you think first please.

@@UbanteGarage That's awesome, I've seen people also using the Tein Basis Z coilovers and said it was good as well. I'm still not sure if I go this way, only thing I really did to mine was getting a replica Mugen spoiler and tinted rear lights and that's it, although I love the car I see it in a way that in the future I'll probably need a bigger car and it already is kind of inconvenient for it being a 2 seater. That's why I've been so thoughtful about going full modding it or not lol. Awesome videos man, I subscribed! Keep up the cool content :)
