Does anyone own a honda crz ?
I'm seriously considering a 3y/o one.
Just wondering what the plus minus are with this motor, i know it's not fast, but it's faster than my golf, and a lot easier on the eyes (i'm trying not to say pretty and sound girly)
I have some specific questions, but also just want to know about the day to day living with it. I had an old crx before and loved it (the proper one, not the 'del-boy sol') it wasn't actually a good ride, bit made up for it in fun/looks.
I've tried contecting a few honda garages, but they seem unable/unwilling to give me a clear answer
So here's the questions -
How long will the batteries keep working at their optimum before needing replaced ?
When replacing them can the nickel be replaced with the upgraded lithium ?
How much does it cost (fitted) for each battery ?
Is the rotor fitted directly as one part onto the drive shaft and if so, how much does it cost ?

I also want any feedback on living with it day to day, any info greatly appreciated.
Any useful info ...

Can not answer your questions but this is the cheapest one on PH, looks a good bet with excellent spec, and I love the colour.

Yeah, unfortunately i need to sort out my remortgage before i can get one, so will be about 3-4 weeks.

There is a higher milage one next to me for 7.
Might have to wait until august for the next influx.
