Love my CR-Z in Oklahoma - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

My last vehicle was a Hummer H2. Yea, that is from one end of the spectrum to the other. The H2? Just something I had to do and get out of my system. LOL My husband currently drives a Pilot, but I have owned several Hondas through the years and each one was awesome. I saw a picture of the CR-Z and had to have one! There weren't a whole lot of them within a days drive from me, but I found a sweet black little number, with tinted windows, in Oklahoma City. I love it! After 3 months, I still have not seen another one, anywhere. Everyone looks at my car wherever I go. And my gasoline bill? How about $30 a month versus $150 - $180 a month. The big adjustment for me has been being so low to the ground as opposed to the H2. But I love it!

Hey, welcome to the forum and congrats on your CR-Z..

Yea, from a H2 where you can see everyone in front of you to a CR-Z where you can't see beyond the Prius in front has to be a big change along with all the other obvious differences.. But lov'n the gas bill now, eh.. or the lack thereof...

Welcome, runner1909.
The new car sounds sweet, and I'll bet you get lots of looks.
Not quite as high as an elephant's eye (well, someone had to say it, so might as well get it over with), but pretty darn nice, and plenty sporty.
What you lose in height, you gain in maneuverability - speaking as an Avalanche owner, just throw your Z into a few fast tight curves, and think of how the Hummer would have responded. That'll bring a smile to your face. Not to mention the fuel savings.

Hey I'm located in Oklahoma also! Good to see another fellow Oklahoman here ^^. I love my crz as well! I have only seen a few crz around here - none of which when I was driving though.

Congratulations, and welcome to the forum. Hope you continue to enjoy your CRZ. I have looked for CRZ's on the road since May and still have never seen one. Kind of fun to be so special!
