My CR-Z is sleek and fast. This car hugs the road like it's a part of your body. I've had a few sports cars before, and this one measures up in both style and handling. The low profile makes you feel almost like you're sitting on the ground. One of the most fun cars to drive I've ever owned. Great gas mileage is standard with Honda to begin with, but I think this one actually beats the listed mpg on the sticker. I got mine for just under 22k, without a trade-in, but I did have to wait a week for my color choice (blue).
Story
Within the first two weeks of owning this car I took myself and a friend into the deep woods for a camping trip. Two tents, a cooler, sleeping bags and fishing gear - with room to spare. We were worried that we'd get stuck in the mud with the low profile of the car, but with a bit of careful driving we made it in and out of the boonies without a hitch!
Pros
Gas mileage on this vehicle is terrific. I think it gets more per gallon than the window sticker, but it might be due to my driving habits. When it's all cleaned up and shining, this little beast really turns heads. Plenty of cargo space in the rear means just about any trip can take your gear wherever you need, or bring it home from picking it up! The comfortable and sporty seats look and feel like you're driving a race car, so be careful with that gas pedal!.
Cons
Cabin space is a bit lacking, but well made up for in the back. I can pack in a weekend worth of camping gear with room to spare. It is a bit of a bumpy ride on unpaved or gravel roads, but that's to be expected from anything outside of a big 4x4. I wouldn't recommend this one for anyone much over six feet tall, as legroom on the driver side is about maxed out with my six foot frame. I got the stock rims because the upgraded rims would have added another 2k to the price, and the style offered didn't impress me.

I love how smooth of a drive my CRZ gives me. It corners so well, it's a breeze to park, it still feels tight and I've had absolutely no issues and I've put over 45,000 miles on it in two years. Some people might say that as a two seater it lacks space, but I didn't buy this car for the cargo or people room. I wouldn't recommend getting it with paddle shifters. I had to search around for a traditional manual transmission, but it was worth the search!
Story
I live in North Carolina and driving this car through the mountains on the Blue Ridge Parkway makes the monthly payment worth it. She corners just the way I want her to, and I've never once had the car do anything I didn't expect it to. The car is super light and always wants to go!
Pros
My top feature would simply be how well it handles. It moves smoothly and fluently. It's also got three modes: Sport, Normal, and Econ. The Hybrid and Econ features really make it great on gas. But I also love Sport Mode if I'm looking to have some fun. This is also the easiest car to parallel park and handled pretty good in snow, as long as the snow wasn't higher than 5 inches.
Cons
It's an expensive vehicle to maintain. Oil changes aren't cheap on full synthetic, and the tire size runs on the high end too. You just need to know any routine maintenance will be on the upper end. I also hate the reverse lockout feature, but you win some and lose some.
