    Good to see CR-Z on UA-cam. I own one too, GT, with nearly every possible optional extra in it. Paid nearly £7000 for it, a little much, but I'm still very happy with it. I was supposed to get a Toyota Celica (insurance was too expensive tho), Fiesta EcoBoost or Polo TSi... Thank god I didn't. Found this car by accident and after few months, I got it... Funnily enough, it was the same car I found months ago.
    Did some simple mods, custom steering wheel, center exit exhaust with Remus Center Exit Diffuser, some small parts here and there... Best decision I've made. Not extremely fast, but it's quick enough.

      And to answer your question Byron, I had a look at the 1ZZ (140HP) Celica, and it was £6000 WITH Blackbox and £10,000+ for non-blackbox. It was to ridiculous, so I had to give it a pass... 2ZZ T-Sport (GT-S 190hp) was £10,000 for Blackbox and £15,000+ for non-blackbox... Not worth it mate, since I got my Honda, I found many other cars that u can get for first car and be just as cool. U can get 1.5 Subaru for example for £2000 a year

    It's good to see you boys appreciating the CR-Z. I'm from the States and over here the CR-Z was not received well. I think it was poorly marketed over here to be a CRX successor, when in reality it was more like a sporty 1st Gen Insight. I didn't know the CR-Z GT had all those nice features as well. In the States there's some big differences: 1) No sunroof, 2) no back seats (it couldn't pass US safety standards), so instead you get two small storage spaces, 3) no power folding mirrors, 4) no parking sensors. I have a 2016 CR-Z and love it, it's fun to drive, practical, and cheap as hell to fill up!

    That CR-Z is really nice. Is it worth more than 10x the amount? Well...not up front, but it will save that in running costs in the lifetime of the car so I'd say the CR-Z smashes it by being probably cheaper eventually too...sorry JB! The rear space is fine as long as your friends all bought cars which do have proper rear seats!
    Side note but 30mpg from the Polo is insane, surely it will get over 50 when cruising? I average about 37 at the moment with the 3.5 and I don't exactly drive gently! Gets 50 on a run, but even that can't quite pay off being 50x the cost and nearly a grand a year on tyres ☺

    It is a bit of rediculous money for a first car, but I must admit the Honda is a cool car.
    Then again the cheap VW has its own qualities.
    My first was a 1993 Citroën ZX 1.4 (75 HP) and drove it with a tent cart to Brittany (amongst other places in France). It ran 80.000km (with oil changes etc.) but that was cheap driving! Cost me €750 to buy, the worst car I ever owed yet I still like it!
    Then I got a Peugeot 406 1.8, great cruiser with AC, electric windows and remote! Drove it to southern France, great car.
    Then I got a Citroën C5 3L V6, no need to explain I guess.
    Now I am driving a quircky Peugeot 1007 1.6 (sliding doors). Fun little car and better on fuel then the C5 V6, yeah that was to be expected...

      shell vpower got allot of the issues out. Never EVER had a problem starting. Power surging was gone exempt from 2 small points through the power range.
      Now that E10 is everywhere. And my Vpower is e5 instead of full 98ron. i get more of that surging feeling.
      Now with surging its like it takes a bit of power away and comes back again later. its not verry significant just there.

      Why be in a rubbish car for two years when you won't even save any money. The cost of fuel and tax will probably outweigh the depreciation which will probably make the Honda cheaper in the end. You are forgetting that he can sell that car in two years.

    First car should be a car that you can learn to work on and it should be cheap to maintain. 0-60 times and top speed are irrelevant tbh (you won't drive this car forever so modifying it in terms of performance has no sense).

    • @CarsWithJB
