New owner in West Midlands, UK - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

irc · 09-24-2011, 08:33 AM

I'm really enjoying my new manual gearbox (of course!) Black CRZ Sport. I've driven 400 miles and currently getting around 47 UK MPG.

Eco mode is s-l-o-w so I mostly drive in normal mode. I've used sport mode when traffic allows. I am surprised how well the car goes in sport mode; much better than I noticed in the test drive vehicle. I ran a CRV CDTi previously so maybe the Z is comparatively fast.

Running in? Err, nope...maximum attack from the word go.

I sometimes see another Z on the way to the office, another Black model.

When did you order it?
I've had an order in since the start of June. It was supposed to be here Mid Sept but no sign of it yet.

Hi Phat Panda

I live near Worcester. I work quite near to Telford, near Albrighton....I don't see many Z's around, maybe I'll see you next time I'm in Telford.

Hi Tractorboy

Sorry that you have had to wait so long...I ordered it at the beginning of August for delivery in September. I wanted Black so there was no problem when the dealer told me that I could have Black, a mis-build (in Blue) or wait months.

I wanted the factory alloy options but they told me that they would be 'early' 2012.

I don't think that there are many cars 'in the system'.
