Congrats Molaram! How do you like the car so far?

Just love it. Cruised out to Banff a few days ago...just wish my wife wouldn't always be driving it when I get home!

Any of the Calgary crew pick up their CRZ with some accessories? I bought at T&T in the North East and bought a few factory accessories with mine. They have come in slowly and I now have to wait till July for the last two (day night mirror with compass & door edge film). Have you had any issues getting accessories? I was wondering if it was just my dealer that was having issues.

Thanks!

Hi Guys, finally, a dedicated forum of CRZ enthusiast for Calgarians, I'm planning to get me one, any "need to know" info before I dive in to this? prices in t&t, crowfoot, anderson seems to run at 26ish, did the owners get a similar deal? Also, I'm concern about the Calgary weather because our snow goes inches thick, can CRZ handle this? or are we expected to use this only on summer? guys really need your inputs, this will be my very 1st car (i hope) so I wanted to choose something really fun and worthit, thanks!

I only purchased mine in March which was technically at the tail end of Winter. But I fully plan to drive mine year yound. I'm just gonna throw an autostart and winter tires on.

As a side note...I had my tinting done recently at Shadowtint in Calgary. I don't reccommend anyone to go there. The workmanship was shoddy...Seemed like if you didn't drive a porche or an Audi, you were treated differently. My CRZ has had to go back 3 times so far and its still not right. (Still have some airbubles on my back window.

OH OH OH! I bet the white one was me!
I got mine from Maged at Okotoks Honda as well - great guy!
I drove the blue 6 speed at Honda West a LOT, but their customer service (I found) really lacking, so went with Okotoks Honda as well.
I absolutely hate Honda Dealerships to be honest, but so far Okotoks Honda hasn't been too bad - on the service end. They effed up horribly on the paper end and had to redraw things 3 times because they submitted incorrectly?! Eeeeeep.
Having said that - Lucy is FAR more than worth it.
It's exactly like driving my first gen Honda Insight but with more pep and more options.
it's really exciting to have more Albertan's with CRZ's as there was like 2 or 3 first gen HI's on the road when I was driving mine.
Anyone interested in getting together when it's not -30?
Yes. I am super nerdy like that and would love to see others CRZ's / talk about fuel mileage etc etc

Keep warm!

Kinda quiet in here, but I thought I'd stop in and say hello. I got approved for the financing on a CR-Z on Friday, and I'll be picking it up Monday. Excited to join the Calgary team.

Got a steal of a deal from Calgary West. The quote I got from T&T was significantly more, and their recommendation was 'take the better offer' so I did.

So, still quiet in here, but I've officially joined the club. Is it awkward that I'm the second White CR-Z on my street? If you're here neighbour, looking at your car on my nightly dog-walk was part of the inspiration.

Hope to see more of you around town

I saw a silver one on the south end of Deerfoot a few weeks ago, and I know there's a silver one bumming around High River.
Haven't seen any blue ones running around yet, though.

Well I live in the NW but commute to the south daily, so we might pass eventually. White CRZ's waving at each other
