Hello everyone,
I'm from Finland and have just placed an order for a Deep Sapphire Blue CR-Z GT (comes w/o Navi here in the north). I'm having to wait 'til January 2011, can you believe that?! It will be a tough time, I'm already dreaming of the CR-Z almost every night
It will be my first car, and I'm looking forward to the experience (I've been a petrolhead without a ride for about 10 years now). I never quite saw myself driving a Honda, though, but the CR-Z just strikes such a good balance between sporting and eco credentials, that I think it's perfect for me. Despite most people dissing a bit the eco-mode, I think I'll be using that for most of the time in the city, chasing ever higher mpg's and saving the sport-mode for the infrequent dashes through some nice roads in the countryside.
As I'm taking delivery in January, I'm very curious to see how it'll handle the Finnish winter, the -30 degree centigrade cold days, the icy roads etc. I'm sure the handling will be top notch, but it's gonna be interesting to see how the mpg's compare to the summer months.
See you around!
