I bought mine brand new in 2013, Ive driven 230 something thousand miles. It’s a great car always factory trained service. I plan on getting half a million on it.
Have a 2015 in Milano Red in 6MT. Got mine at a dealership 4 years ago. They mislabeled it as a CVT when it was a manual according to the pictures. Got it and never looked back since.
@@TreadDepthChannel Me too! Have been searching for so long for this exact spec... found it and called the dealership immediately. Car will be making a trip from sunny Florida all the way up to Michigan where it will be cared for by yours truly! I guess Kyle found his new car (and a great car at that if what I heard was true)!
@Bound Dragons Absolutely love it. 1,300 Mile drive home went flawless and I honestly love every single thing on this car. It's the perfect daily and honestly exceeded all my expectations
I just purchased a supercharged one with HPD suspension and exhaust for 8,500. The clutch is going out and it needs a new hybrid battery. Putting a new bumblebee battery in it for $2,500 and a new clutch for 1500. It's a nice little car. Puts out 200 horsepower and go 0 to 60 and 6.5 seconds...
Hey buddy, I've loved this car ever since I bought my 2014 Mazda 3 Spot GS (not sure of the US trim naming schemes)!! Sick ride.. I've always really loved this car. And the purple is really sick!! That's not only one of the damn finest-looking Hondas out there, this is one of my favorite cars out there, especially with that 6-speed!
I have a 2011 cvt with 340,000 Kms and just added a 2016 manual, honestly I can't get enough, I ride liter bikes and honest a car with 400hp feels just as slow as 130hp, I just drive around town and just stare at the beautiful design it's been 14 years and it has aged beautifully inside and out
I have a '15 EX CVT. Had an '11 CVT Base new. I'll get a ZF2 6MT one day. Not looking for the cars of my past as much; though I'd love a 20B FD. I've owned 2 8s, 3 FCs, among others. This car is fun, economical, reliable (low mile well cared for). I find them fun. I can overpay for two cherry Zs for what I'd pay for one nice Blue FK8 Type R or build a Hondata turbo Z and a HPD supercharged on. Have one a sleeper and one with Mugen parts and all 'dressed up'. These are fun, well handling little things.
Have a JDM one from 2011, black CVT. it was imported from Japan into Ireland in July so I’m the first owner outside of Japan! Really cool car and fun to drive (yes even in CVT!) I also had a Gen 1 Jazz (Fit in the US) in a similar purple colour!
They last between 200,000 and $250,000 miles and they cost about $2,000 to replace with an aftermarket beefy high performance battery that's even better than the original and gives you more power and miles per gallon
@@roycarder6179 look at bumblebee batteries. Honda CRZ bumblebee battery, you can Google it, they have a lifetime warranty if you want to keep the car forever
My account on the forum has been deactivated but Ive got a 2011 6 speed in Orlando that Ive turboed about 5 years ago. Ive owned this car for ten years and it's just one of my favorite cars ever made. Ive got 260k on it with next to zero issues that werent self inflicted. Its output has been nerfed at 200whp until I can afford to build the bottom end, and it's just so much fun to drive. First budget mod should be the Spoon front sway bar! And yeah, Im pretty sure I know who's car that was as well! 😂😂
Sir, would you please tell me about the process of how to buy this car, cause I had been searching for an hour but I didn't find the details about this car, would you just tell me, that when did you buy this car like which year like in a present year or Past years?
I own a bolt. It’s a really great utility. It’s a nice car and it works well, operation costs are very low. It’s dreadfully boring in my opinion, though
The Bolt was a good daily. Just boring and the range limitation was becoming a problem for my commute, going from once a week charge to twice in most cases. Operation costs for this CRZ are not much more than the Bolt EV, considering I’m a technician. I do miss the features of the Bolt, like the Bose sound, Apple CarPlay, the display and 360 camera, auto door locks, etc. but that doesn’t make up for the massive difference is fun while commuting.
idk about 2016, I actually just found out after seeing your post 2016's existed, I thought 2015 was the last year, I own a 2015. Turns out they went til July 2016. But it might just be that some have a spare and some don't. That was the case in the 2015 model year. Mine doesn't have a spare, never did, but it does have the layout for a spare. Some models did have a spare, some didn't. Doesn't really make sense why they would offer ones with a spare and some not. But I bought used, so not much control over that. Or color. I have a white one, but I would prefer blue. Hope to repaint it blue eventually, or maybe I'll decide on a different color.
Purchased mine new in 2010 in cookeville tn. It now has over 300k serviced by the book! I purchased it there because Chris Hammon manages the best service department in the nation . they even have a concierge !!!!!! Check them out
They were smoking crack when they made that bombastic gauge cluster. But everything else I guess they had a bad hangover That's all I can say. It was so cool for it's time...

So I found a 6 speed CRZ in Boston and am loving it!

Sounds spicy 🌶️
7:13 finally hits 15mph 😂
But fun 15mph. I kinda want one of these, I think they’re more acquirable than a old crx plus more modern and comfy
It is a very modern feely car which is nice, everything works and doesnt rattle
The CRZ is such a fun machine. I’m an owner(first) of a manual 2013 model myself. Do you mind sharing the complete wheel specs on the RPF1s?
Have you had any issues with it for all those years?
Thank you for this down-to-earth expert opinion on CR-Z. It is very informative. I also saw your Hot Wheel videos. You have a wonderful taste on cars.
Lube your doorrubbers regulatory prevents the doors from sticking, and the doorhandle to break.
Excellent advice
god fuck these door handles. already had to buy another one
sick color yo🤙 i got 6spd manual but i just got crème white . i’m gonna k swap mine soon though

That's pretty awesome, purple is the way!
CVT better gas mileage and can focus more on driving! Especially in traffic!
I mean they're all JDM's every single one was made in japan just check the VIN number's first letter
Having a CVT is like bringing your granny to the rave and not being allowed to take any molly ahahhahaha
