Honda CRZ Forum : Welcome! Introduce yourself!

[borcth]

Hello, new crz owner as of today. And it's my bday today. Can you believe the odds? I was a proud owner of a 2000 honda prelude. Your typical honda enthusiast. Doing every mod i can think of. 5spd swap, re did the interior in leather, ecu swap..blah. I recently had a slight fender bender with my lude. It was paid off and I was really feeling a new car. It got to the point where I couldnt go 6 months w/o an issue. Anyway, i really like the crz. I hope to get alot of positive comments on the road in future time. I already like the aftermarket/factory backup for this car. It's a good sign.

I own the following and can't wait to get a black EX with a 6-speed to add to my "collection":

However, I think I'm going to wait (and this will be tuff!) til next year with the dream that they might have a sunroof available on the US model.

87 CRX-Si, 5 speed
93 del sol Si, 5 speed
01 S2000, 6 speed
07 Civic Si Coupe, 6 speed

All in black; my wife just bought an '010 Accord Coupe in Belize Blue (sharp color). These cars have never been in the shop, I do everything myself. Unfortunately, I have to get rid of the CRX because the rear frame rusted out (too many NY winters filled with salt). Since I'll never find another nice CRX, I think the CRZ will be a comparable replacement.

I was going to wait for toyots/subaru's new coupe. But I couldnt wait with the issues surmounting on my prelude any longer.

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!

I wasn't thinking about a new car until I took my smart in for service, while I was waiting, I went over to the Honda dealer next door, and saw the CRZ, I can't wait to get to drive one, I'm really interested in a 6 speed, and I'm thinking the Blue looks pretty good, or wait for the red. Anyone else here in Indiana get one yet?

Not yet, but i'm close. my dealer has a silver ex navi cvt that i test drove and could buy, but i don't want silver or navi. he told me about a red ex cvt that was built 2 days ago that is coming in in 2 weeks. i told him i would buy it. i didn't know red was hard to come by. it was my first choice of colors but would have taken white or blue.

anyone know of someone who wants to buy my pretty 2008 bright blue accord ex coupe with 37k miles?

What's up? I saw this link on the Bulletproof Automotive news letter I receive. I've been a long time Honda fan (I've owned a 2004 EP3,2003 S2000,and a 1997 EK hatch) can't wait to get my hands on a CR-Zed!
