Favorite, Surprising CR-Z Feature - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

So, we all bought our CR-Zs probably because of the car's looks or engine or color or whatever. But, after having your CR-Z, what small, surprising feature do you like the best?

For me, it is the rear hatch handle. Use it to avoid getting fingerprints on the outside. It is perfectly placed, even for a lefty. Just a slight tug and the hatch drops down and latches with a solid thunk.

Before purchase I had researched the CR-Z fully here, downloaded the owner's manual, etc.

I dug the technology and there were no surprises there, nor with ergonomic things.

So even though I had read about it, my pleasant surprise was Auto Idle Stop w/6MT.

I had accepted (before purchase) that Auto Idle Stop would have a mind of its own.

NOT! My surprise was how easy it is to control its occurance with the 6MT.

^I also didn't know that! Thanks!

One surprising feature that I liked about this car is the faint blue console and floor lighting. I know some guys try to make it brighter, but I like more subtle features like that; not too distracting, yet functional enough to find what you are looking for.

I discovered the handle a couple months ago and wondered why I would need it as I've always just put my hand on the top surface (gently) and closed it. But today for the first time I actually tried it and can't believe how much easier it is to close with the handle!

I like the fact that the cargo cover can be mounted on the floor. Then used as a divider like one of the "grocery" nets. Such a simple way to make extra use of something that's already there.

Rear handle and Cargo divider are cool but I really like the arm rest. The factory arm rest top can be slid forward. Makes long trips more comfortable.

The switched fuse spot was my favorite discovery... I have so many random 12v accessories wired up to this car it's not even funny.
