Its finally in the showroom and it looks better then I thought it would.

[satek]

Vtec....does it kick in?

[TheSalesman]

I havn't driven it yet...its just a fit motor with more torque.
I'm waiting for a 6spd to get here to test drive. We only have 1 and its in the showroom.

[Mr.Jay]

lots of interest in the car?

for me it does nothing

[TheSalesman]

^ no idea...we'll see how the sales are but already sold 1.

[donjalapeno]

picture or it never happend

[kknater]

Saw it yesterday at the Honda dealership on Hastings and Gamma.

No offense to the salesperson who talked to me yesterday, but he didn't know anything about the car. Telling me its a s2k replacement...

[TheSalesman]

Telling me its a s2k replacement...

LOL

[flagella]

ask him what s2000 is.

[BEEB]

What took your dealer so long? I'd seen it on the street last week already... :D

[Meister1982]

Telling me its a s2k replacement...

well it sort of is in a way, because Honda pretty much make NO 2 seat sports car anymore LOL

but then again it's like saying the tundra is the replacement for the supra because they don't make any front engine rear wheel drive cars anymore

[TheSalesman]

It was here on thursday.

Its an s2000 replacement because it has HID!!!

[Jgresch]

Only one hid? Can you pay extra for both headlamps to be HID equipt?

[TheSalesman]

sorry, it only comes with 1. Driver side only

[Jgresch]

typical

[TheSalesman]

ok for 1 day only...you will get both sides if you buy one from me.

[spoon.ek9]

what's the curb weight of this car? i'm sure down the road someone is going to throw a k20 in there :lol

[TheSalesman]

^ about 2650lbs for the 6spd

[dinamix]

23k? i'll take a used civic SI instead

I got the chance to drive the CR-Z for a bit, altough it was an automatic one.
Handles better then any other current 2010-2011 honda. Gauges take a while to get used to.
The speedometer is like a hologram or something, really weird.

@richmond Honda.

I must say, its a nice car in person :)

[LiquidTurbo]

Fucking terrible blindspot however.

[busdriverman]

i sat in a crz today at richmond honda, where i work. the seats are pretty decent and the overall look of the car is not bad. it is quite sport looking but the lack of rear seats is kinda...inconvenient.

[AccordCouped]

looks pretty nice from the front.. not feeling the back though. reminds me of a damn insight

[tofu1413]

is it trading in ITR worthy...?? ;)

[Onassis]

I got to test drive one in Japan, it feels quicker than it drives - almost exactly like my old stock CRX.

I'm gonna hold out for one until hasport drops the k20 mounts or until the HKS supercharger comes.

man that black one looks nice...

It's definitely a comfortable car, i sat on the white one that was at Richmond Honda. They had 2 on the day of delivery, and supposedly 2 in warehouse. Both sold around afternoon ish, and shortly after the other 2 in the warehouse were called for aswell. Not sure how the JDM version was able to fit 2 seats in the back...there was no room at all!

[spoon.ek9]

hmmm black seems the be the best colour choice. even though i love white the most for almost every car :lol

[dano02veloz]

Looks kinda cool... but is it RWD?? LOL, I'm gonna assume it isn't - which makes it... a fancy looking, but much less practical Fit Hatch?

[Gachinto]

can't be a rwd ... i think

[spoon.ek9]

maybe i'll stop by richmond honda today and take a look!

[jstn86]

...Not sure how the JDM version was able to fit 2 seats in the back...there was no room at all!...

average asian male or females are pretty short...

i think avg height for a male is probably around 170-175cm or so.... ?

and japanese... they are just short in general.. haha (no offense)

[donjalapeno]

that last silver one looks sick

[twitchyzero]

i dont think i can ever get used to that rear-end

[svelt]

It's the only exciting product in Honda's entire stable (including Acura) for the long forseeable future.

But S2k replacement it is not. Not sure if it even is a CRX replacement, a stock 1.5L CRX could probably outrun this boat.

it can be a 2+2.

You might be able to fit a kid or small asian girl back there if you had to.

How hard is it to convert it to JDM spec for the rear seats? (2 Seats + back cushions + Seat belts). Can you just order the JDM p/n and bolt it on?

[CP.AR]

who wants to buy my gas guzzling TL

[Jgresch]

^ trade it in ;)

+1

It it's just a bolt on process, then this car is a strong consideration!

At least it won't be a death trap like the old crx 2+2 :p

Call me a Luddite, but I doubt this comes even remotely close to the old CRX in terms of driveability, handling, and overall fun. The CRX sold like hotcakes because it was raw, cheap on gas, and light.

Dropped by Rmd honda today to check it out..

salesman was very very polite. showed me the white showroom model.

looks better in person, love the interior. exterior.. the front bothers me.


he thought i was crazy to think about selling the ITR and getting one of these.. HAHA

quoted five grand down, looking at about 325ish + tax for financing.. not too bad actually..

only wish is that it'll get a larger motor, and make it rev higher with a DOHC head..

[Derek128]

Drove the 6spd last weekend and disappointed :-(

The steering feedback & throttle response are fucked up
in Sport mode was still ok.
in Normal mode was like......Eh? (very light steering & slow throttle response)
in the fucking ECO mode was like WTF WTF.......I felt nth!!! (almost no feedback from the steering wheel, throttle response was just wrong)


Its a gd looking & very easy to drive car
but I'm disappointed with Honda

[FerrariEnzo]

is it me or does it look kinda like a 2door version of the Toyota Prius?

[josel_atr]

hmmm im curious to see one in person. the rear "seats" are interesting. but i really like how how the fold down for more room.

[Bender Unit]

Does anyone know if Transportation Canada classified this car as a 2 seaters or 2+2 ?

[TheSalesman]

its a 2 seater.
Those "seats" in the back are bins for storage...not seating.
There are not seat belts in the back.

[sas]

quoted five grand down, looking at about 325ish + tax for financing.. not too bad actually..

What dealership did you visit?

I think its time for a test drive. Haven't been excited about a Honda product in awhile. Albeit, I don't have any high expectations in regards to performance but if its a Honda at least the gearbox should be decent.

[Bender Unit]

Therefore, it will be illegal to carry passengers in those "Rear Seat"
Shame~

[Spectre_Cdn]

is it me or does it look kinda like a 2door version of the Toyota Prius?

More like a 2-door version of the Insight.

[RabidRat]

I wonder if you could safely (and legally) install the JDM rear seats and seatbelts. If you could then I'd seriously consider this.

I'm sick of two-seaters. They were cool when we were 17 but now it doesn't make sense anymore unless you have a second car haha.

The car is not made to be fast. Its made to be a fun sporty car that is good on gas just like the original crx. That didn't have a B16 or B18c or anything of that sort. It was not very fast either but still fun to drive.

[josel_atr]

dropped by at kingsway honda yesterday.

the crz looks nicer that what id thought it would be. interior/exterior is really hawt. i would seriously consider one as a second car next to the evo since they are exactly opposite powerwise/gas mileage/body style etc etc. if someone finds out how to put extra seats in the rear + seat belts, i would buy one...

[AznK]

pretty nice

[spoon.ek9]

test drove it today. i gotta say, it was better than i expected. i would be happy to have one as a DD.

[orange7]

is the 2012 new civic a complete face lift or just some minor changes?

[TheSalesman]

^ complete facelift
It was supposed to be 2011 but they delayed it for 1 year.

[oldsnail]

So whose got a CR-Z here?

[Shun Izaki]

saw a white one going southbound on knight today, looks pretty good actually.

[spoon.ek9]

So whose got a CR-Z here?

my friend is 1 of the 2 people who ordered one at richmond honda. it's currently backordered as dealerships are being limited to 2 per month (according to my salesman buddy).

[!Yaminashi]

Saw a middle aged white guy driving one on the mary hill bypass headed the opposite direction yesterday morning. The front doesnt look bad at all, in fact to me it was pretty eye catching

[Alpine]

Saw a white one on the Alex Fraser bridge last week.. It doesn't look good in pictures but in motion it looks quite attractive. Unfortunately it comes off as quite a large car :(

[Was 1983 Z28]

Alright, I don't post here any more, but I gotta step in on this one because this is one car's really made an impression on me; moreso, in fact, than 99% of all the other cars I've ever tested.

I've been driving a CR-Z for the past couple weeks as a journalist, and basically, it's absolutely awesome. It's quite nearly perfect, gets phenomenal gas mileage, doesn't look like a dork/chick-mobile like so many other hybrids, and is pretty fun to drive. Don't bother with econ or normal mode though, if anyone here takes one for a test drive, just leave it in sport! I published a full review here (http://www.carguideweb.com/articles/8691/), and excuse the stock photography, my camera's back from the repair shop today and I plan to snap a few of the CR-Z later!

[q0192837465]

all the ones I saw are white. does it come in any other colors?

[Spectre_Cdn]

^ Red and blue I think. So yeah... white is the obvious choice lol.

[TheSalesman]

There is no red.
The 3 color choices are white, gray and blue.

[gilly]

WHY ONLY 2 SEATER?????? damn.

Any chance of a type R version or a more powerful model in the future?

hopefully there will be a type R version that isn't a hybrid

[TheSalesman]

yes I am sure.
You can even check the honda website.

Article in the local paper claims Canada is only getting 500 cars for this year.

[TypeRNammer]

my only complaint about this car is the giant blind spots heh. nothing a wink mirror/broadyway wide angle can't solve tho :D

my biggest complaint is no rear seats

[Was 1983 Z28]

Yes, only three colours in Canada (hence my comment about the camera); white, blue and grey. The US gets five colours; white, grey, black, blue, and red. I wish they'd expanded the palette a bit because I would have loved to see the old Type-R yellow come back on this thing... as I would have a whole myriad of primary and fluorescent colours!

[RabidRat]

Yeah my two main complaints:
-no back seats
-ginormous blind spots

[too_slow]

And no Audi-esque front LED DRLs! I saw quite a few in Japan last week and it's quite a head turner in person.. I wonder how the weight distribution would change if you were to remove the IMA equipment..

[Was 1983 Z28]

Not by much, the motor is tiny and mounted between the engine and transmission, and the battery weighs something like 15 to 20 pounds underneath the trunk.

And there definitely are blind spots, but I'd say they're no worse than what you get from the 370Z, btw.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

my biggest complaint is no power

[ToyotaPowah]

I looked at one in Abby yesterday. Thinking of heading back for a test drive this week. I wonder what I can get for a trade-in on my 07 Si...
