Greetings from NJ! - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

mr_abc · 01-21-2012, 09:20 AM

My name is Allen. I reside around the NJ/NYC metro area. I work at a non profit and I like craft beer. I currently have an 06 Subaru Legacy GT Manual that I'm trying to part ways with in favor of a CR-Z (hopefully). I'm also a member at legacygt.com under the same username.

I'm very interested in a used Manual CR-Z, any color except black (shows swirls too easily). It definitely fits the bill as far as my 6 mile city round trip is concerned. I like how the CR-Z's est. city mpg is greater than my Legacy's highway mpg. That's definitely a win for my wallet.

I still haven't been able to to test drive a CR-Z yet. Hopefully it's as fun to drive as everyone says it is and maybe I'll be able to overlook the the lack of power the CR-Z has compared to my Legacy. The only other thing holding me back are the lack of back seats, but I figured, this is probably the right time to sport a 2 seater while I'm 25 and not yet married.

Welcome!
The car seems to fit your bill, and I think the best thing to do is give it a test drive with an open mind. I think you'll be impressed (but then again, I MIGHT be biased)

Good luck with your decision. You will find lots of information here, but if you cannot locate the answers you need, there's a huge amount of knowledge here to draw on.
