Anybody have a honda cr-Z?
Discussion
I'm considering one to replace the wifes mk3 Mx5 if/when we have a baby. I'm hoping the Mazda will be fine for a bit, but this seems a good left field replacement. I've got an Accord estate so don't need another big cat, just some for the day to day duties. What's it like to drive? Is it worthy of a 6am Sunday morning drive?
To me going from a R32 mk5 golf to this 1.5 cr-z yes its not as fast or noisey but if you wNt to save money its around £32 to fill from empty and £20 a year to roadtax and get average 300miles at 36mpg but press sport and turn off tcs and it seems like it turns into a little sports car almost asthough the suspension tightens and the throttle response is improved, as you own a honda you probably know ivtec kicks in fully at around 4000rpm and does power hard and revs high its not by any means slow but i found this article i hope helps you sum it up better than i can http://www.torquenews.com/1574/2015-honda-cr-z-des...
Have a read and let me know what you think,
I used to work for honda and enjoyed the roadtests which persuaded me to buy one a few years later,

Your accord looks nice! And yes I agree a small little eco-power-fun doesn't seem right but it is a nippy little car!, I dont know if you have your local to a Honda dealer if you could roadtest a CR-z although when I checked in Solihull non were in dealer stock! But I checked earlier today and some are maybe see if they would let you borrow one with intent to buy? Over a weekend or something? To see how it suits you etc!?
To be honest we've only just started trying for a baby, so the Mx5 should be OK for this summer. At the moment the wifes shortlist is a Kia Soul or a Jazz. Bit I'd like to keep to something a bit more interesting and the Crz seems to fit the bill perfectly. If/when we started looking for one I'll try and find one so I can try a stroller and car seat it. Do you know if it's got Isofix in the back? Strangely the Mx5 has got isofix in the front sp someone foresaw the Mx5 as a family car.lol
Yeah that's the sort of thing. I'll probably start looming next spring I'd imagine depending on if any miniGazzas arrive.
This is her Mx5
A little tip if your ever in a convertible with an electric. Roof and you happen to have a top hat on, take it off before you put the roof up otherwise your neck tends to get shorter. Lol.
