It looks stupid having a spot that looks like it's meant perfectly for a seat, but then there's just cubby holes instead.

Got to drive a manual one and it was a fun car to drive; although, it's low on power. IMO, Honda makes some of the best manual transmissions on the market. I would have gotten myself one if the BRz wasnt being released.

On the backseat comment yeah it would have been nice but compared to other markets, America has the biggest consumers. If you know what I mean.

Its funny that this tread is here actaully.. Before i joined this forum, i was part of the CR-Z forum. I've been eyeing the CRZ for about 5 months now... ever really pulled the trigger on it because I drive an 08 civic that *technically* doesnt belong to me... so theres no way to trade in or sell it lol. Anyways, ive always thought "oh ill buy one, put a wing on it, change the front bumper (cus its ugly), lower it, change wheels etc.." my initial plan was to spend ~10k on upgrades. Theres some pretty nice aero kits for it too that i was gona get ie. or Anyways, my friend showed me the BRz and once i read that it would have estimated ~30mpg, i was like k forget the cr-z. More power, and mpg thats only alittle bit less, better looks, no need to drop 10k on mods... just wait for the brz its better

well I know Honda is now offering the Mugen areo, and interior on the CRZ, but so theres that

imo, i think it looks better than the above mentioned

I test drove one for over an hour when they first came out. I was several towns over when the salesman finally asked, "Where are we?" I think they're nice, but don't have enough power. It doesn't feel much faster than my wife's Prius. I figured i'd wait to get her one till they came out with a quicker version which I have yet to see.
