Finally got to drive my CR-Z today.

383 miles, hills (Southern VT, NH), less than half was interstate.
Was able to get 45 MPG for the entire trip.

Mostly my speed was about the speed limit +3 MPH,
Sometimes faster, sometimes slower (heavy traffic.)

Congrats! Do you have the CVT transmission or manual 6 speed?

Diane...congrats!!!!

Still waiting on mine...

Like to hear some input from a female...what you think about the car?

Needs stiffer sway bars and about 1/2 inch shorter (and stiffer) springs.
(Some girls like to race cars.)

Also, it would be great if the sound system adjusted for road noise.

The chiller glove box is trick.

Today was a 300 mile trip from Nashua NH over the Green Mountains to Saratoga Springs, NY and back (to visit family).

I was good, except for the miles long stretch of 8% grade where I was going fast enough up the mountain rode to only be legal in some parts of Texas.

Still got 44 mpg for the trip.

If you are ever on Rt. 9 in VT, stop and have lunch at the Royal Diner just outside of Brattleboro.
