I have the 2011 with the manual and haven’t regretted it for a day. So much fun to drive. Also one thing you didn’t stress enough: the steering and handling of the crz is insanely good. Literally feels like a go cart. Otherwise great video!

My wife and I own our 2011 CR-Z since Sept 2010. We still have it for 11 years and today it have 109K miles. We still love our CRZ. Now we got our child, we use this car only if we drive solo. Currently, we drive this car around 5K miles annually and spend $30 a month on gas at $3.20 per gallon. I did all the oil change, coolant, and transmission fluid change myself during the life of vehicle. It was very easy! The only big service was the spark plug and valve adjustment that cost me at $500ish. It can be an easy job, however, there is one spark plug ,at the far end ,that is hard to reach. I didn't want to mess with it. Overall, Great video and review!

Hi Derrick - Thanks for a great video - I`ve got a Crz GT 2012 6MT for about 2 years now and it is a lovely car. I have change the emblem to red, looks great on the blue car ;) (use a creditcard to disassemble the oem emblems) then i mounted a Mugen rear wing, Remus exhaust catback + Diffuser, Ge8 manifold and Takeda Momentum Cold Air Intake System w/Pro 5R Filter and 18" Aez Steam Graphite wheels, But the best thing i mounted on the car was the rear view camera. - A really reliable little car, never had any trouble with it.

Only problem I have with CrZ after 3 days of owning it is that I have a feeling that I have a bad visibility in the rear, mostly on the rear sides... How do you feel it? Is there anny suggestion to feel more comfy?

For what it's worth mine is now going on 10 years and 320,000 miles and while the IMA system is a little bit weak, it holds a charge very well and it functions and has 60% life left. According to the dealership. I suspect it will wear out before 400,000 miles but there is an aftermarket battery that's bigger and beefier than the original for about $2,000.
