"The honda cr-z is a great little car. It gets great gas mileage, it is fun to drive, and for a hybrid it will surprise you with its performance. For a 1.5L naturally aspirated I-4 it has some serious get-up-and-go. It does not wobble and shake at high speeds, and corners flat and level. Tends to under steer a bit at low speeds but slides around quite well at the higher speeds. Interior is nice, seats are comfortable for a couple hours at a time but if you drive all day a huge lack of lower back support becomes evident. The controls are well laid out and accessible to the driver, and the gear lever (6-speed only) has a smooth mechanical feel and makes a satisfying clunk every time you select a gear. The clutch is smooth and easy to press as well. Cargo space is no issue in this car but passenger space is limited to 2 people. All in all, if you are looking for a fun little get-about kind of car this could be the one for you. If, however, you want something to build into a track day car, I would recommend the civic si instead. The horsepower is just too limited in the cr-z for serious racing."
