Honda CR-Z Overview
The CR-Z features a start/stop system and delivers a relatively smooth and refined ride, although road noise can be a little loud at higher speeds.
The cabin is very attractive, with a stylish display and easy-to-use controls. Seats in the CR-Z are supportive and comfortable, and can be adjusted to suit the needs of the driver. Space is generous in the front with good head and legroom. The back seats, however, are severely lacking in space and would not be suitable for long journeys. The boot is a nice size and can be made larger by folding the rear seats flat.
The Honda CR-Z comes with an excellent level of technology and equipment. Climate control, an auxiliary socket and electric windows are all standard features, even with entry level models.
