Help or Advice on new buyer - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

_92 · 02-08-2012, 08:55 AM

Hi guys, I am looking to get a new car any where between £10k and £20k ish. The CR-Z is one that is interesting me, though theres a couple questions I got for current users.

The rear visability - how bad actually is it? Is it a real problem or can you manage?

Also I am from the UK, so the one if i decide to get will have 2 seats at the back, that can fold down. If anyone from the UK has one, can you tell me if you can or can't fit anyone in the back.

I've watched several review videos, but it'd be good to hear from people first hand about the car itself.

Thanks in advance.

The rear visibility only comes up at one time: backing out of a parking space. A few people here were bothered enough by it that they rigged a camera to hook into the nav system. Me? I just go slow and keep looking..

Out on the highway, it doesn't make a lick of difference. The side mirrors are fine, when adjusted as intended (little-to-no paint visible), and often the rear has the benefit of blocking out someone's obnoxious headlights

Welcome to the forum! Rear visibility has not been a problem for me at all and certainly is no worse than in the Prius. But you really need to do a test drive to see if its suitable for YOU.
