Hello from Stackman - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

I commute over 90 miles a day through DC beltway traffic! So far I. Getting 40 mpg using mostly Econ mode. Have not done sport mode much- not sure how to use as it seems to rev too high. I have a cvt automatic. Would like to hear more.

Welcome to the CRaZy forum! I was commuting from Orange to Springfield VA (about 140mi/day) until a week ago. Now it's just once a week

Managed almost 14k mi since July... There are a few DMV members on here- we're actually trying to get a meet next year so we can share our love of the Z! Enjoy your ride and we look forward to pics like Mr Scotty says above ^^

Welcome. Sport mode is designed so we can really squeeze every bit of proformance out of the car. It will keep the RPM's up higher and wind out to red line. It also activates the paddles. The paddles help you use the gear ratios to your benifit. It allows for compression braking on twisty roads.

Have fun with it.

Hello and welcome. I'm sure that you'll love the Z as much as we do
