Lowkey great video. Might look into getting one in the future. Problem is finding one

How well is the aftermarket support?

170 is a good bump for me. I drive a 140hp civic and. I still find a way to have fun in it

Imagine this with a small turbo and a bigger e motor

26.1MPG !!!! What the hell kind of a car is that? I drive a 10 year old, 1.6 diesel Ford Mondeo Estate, with a manual transmission, and get 50MPG urban and 60-65MPG rural. It helps if you can drive a manual because you can choose the best power band for the circumstances and use cruise control. I'm very glad that we don't have toll roads (except for the odd bridge), you Yanks are truly crackers (as in crazy, not what you mean by that).

Yeah, quirky but fun. I love it!

i bought the xr instead of xrs matrix sadly.. worst decision ever

All this tells me is that this car is freakin' awesome, and the haters are wrong.

Great review! thank you

My daily driver for 7 years and counting. I'm in love with this car.

I bought one of these to replace my rusted out 5-speed focus and I love the thing! I got it with the 6-speed stick and it's one of the most comfortable cars I've ever driven, and I can see it lasting a while.

We’ve had ours since 2005 Mateix XRS and still going strong

Thank you for the video I'm frustrated so trying to find one if they were that price I'd buy 2.

Don't know where those deals are found on vibe???? I'm in upstate NY still looking for one

I Love that the emblem and grill is the Fire Bird with it's wings outstretched. The emblem is the birds face. It looks to have grabbed the license plate like a fish and is flying off with it.

Love the Fire Bird wings for a grill the emblem is the birds face.

Built in the Freemont factory that now pops out Teslas. Surely, It's why -- from front-on -- the Model Y looks like the 05-06 Vibe

i love my crz and you did it justice 💃🏻

Also got my CR-Z super cheap, a little under 5k, 100k miles. It was going to be my backup and eventually sons first car....but I love it. He will still get it but I'm getting rid of my daily ( Alfa Romeo Giulia ) for something more practical as I love driving the CR-Z so much. Got a little cold air intake for it and everything. My first car ever was a 1990 Honda Prelude Si ( not the 4WS ), got it for my 16th in 1999. It wasn't well loved by its previous owner and almost got me killed a few times, but I loved that pos. This thing has brought that back, I'm 41 now and handing it down to my son in a few years but here I am out here modding it, improving the meh audio system, detailing it and putting my far nicer car on Autotrader because I don't like it as much. Stupid Hondas.

Great video. Real cool style for info and entertainment. Don't have 91 available in Greensboro nc so use 93

Obrigado. Bem explicado

I love this car, i love that I can plug in a fire stick into the dashboard and simply turn off the parking brake restriction. Tether to my phone and I have the entirety of streaming platforms for my passengers to watch. It is great on gas and has nice pickup in sport mode. Also it is a thin and tiny car, about half the size of a normal compact 4 door, so it makes for easy and more accessible parking in Chicago. I can park between cars that nobody except a motorcyclist can. 😂

I also got my CR-Z for 5k and nothing was wrong with it. So that was a steal.

Dammit that's the color I wanted haha. I got white instead, which is alright.

👍🙂

mine 2009 is auto, but leather heated seats, 6.5" Navi, sunroof, 17's, back seats do fold down with sway bars front and back. shark antenna, fogs, 0-60 7.0secs

The Vibe is a modified corolla.

@1:32 No, they aren't. The Pontiac Vibe is actually a Toyoda Volz.

Went on a road trip the other day and i was trying to do some of the techniques you did and when I turned off the engine while driving, when i turned it back on it had some issues with how smooth it was driving and the cruise control wouldn't work. This was fixed when i pulled over and turned it off and back on again. Any idea why something like that would happen?

You seem like a cool dude and I really dig your videos. I'm on the north side of Atlanta, just moved here a few months ago. I have a 2019 Brz Performance Pack and a 2014 Prius daily driver, thought I'd offer them up for you to do a review on if you're interested, hmu! PS: I managed 37mpg avg. while driving to GA from MI using some of the same techniques you mentioned on here

Pro tip: Remember to remove passenger headrest for added aero 🤗

10k for this? i bought mine with 175k km for 4.3k USD. never caused me any issue and it is definitely much more fun to drive than my old w204 c class.

I would pick either , Los Angeles , or Toronto , for worst traffic.

Ah I was stationed in Augusta. Love that city!

thats insane, these cars really need a 6th gear, 60mph at 2500 rpm in 5th, i can relate but mine is about 2100 at 60mph

i can easily average 30 miles per gallon in my integra even being the 4 door automatic. 26 if i am in heavy traffic.

800 feet elevation change in either direction across over 200 miles is completely trivial. Literally less than 0.1% average grade. As long as you aren't ascending and descending full on mountain passes, you won't be able to notice the difference. Something as silly as wind direction, temperature, or even humidity will make a far more significant difference.

I wouldn't recommend turning off the engine while coasting in neutral with an automatic. The pump that lubricates your transmission is only driven by the engine, so no engine = no lubrication. Driving without lubrication is obviously not great. If it's an emergency and milliliters matter, by all means. The difference between engine off coasting and idling in neutral is about 1 gallon every 4-5 hours of coasting. I'm not totally sure but I reckon 50 hours worth of driving without lubrication would destroy your transmission, and save you around 11 gallons of gas. Not sure you can replace a transmission with $35. With a manual transmission, the wear goes to either your release bearing for the clutch or the starter, and still, not sure you can replace either of those with $35. On the same vein, I don't like overinflating my tires, because that wears out your shocks and struts faster and it also causes your tires to wear unevenly so you'll be spending more money on that stuff sooner. Again, probably not worth the incredibly tiny fuel savings.

Pulse and glide is only more efficient than steady cruising if you shift to neutral and lower your rpm on the glide phase, or better yet, if you have a hybrid, if you shut the engine off entirely and use the battery pack. If you pulse and glide in 4th gear and never shift to neutral, you maintain all the engine drag and it doesn't save you anything. The point of pulse and glide is to reduce engine drag by keeping the engine at a very high load at a moderate rpm and idling with almost no drag when you have too much speed.

Maybe I'm simultaneously unlucky and lucky, but Birmingham traffic is always way worse than Atlanta traffic, at least in my limited experience.

8:00 is so funny

Fun video

good video

My first car when I was 17 was a 97 integra and i absolutely miss that car. Was overall really good on gas, cheap to fill up (especially back then), and great memories. At 28 im looking to buy another one as a runaround car to save miles on my current one.

I 100% believe you! I once did this same exact type test with some friends on a beach trip in my worn out 1997 Ford Taurus, and we got 37 MPG !!! Over inflated tires, no a/c, and extra thin synthetic oil... It totally surprised me what my old car achieved compared to its normal 24 mpg average... And that was with four full-grown 21ish year old guys in the car. 😂

Please fix the thermostat and try again .

I hypermiled my 94 Pontiac Sunbird with 5 Speed V6. Made it from South Central Pa to Road Island on the same tank at 430 miles and 34MPG. Not bad for a V6.

your acura has a toyota radiator in it! desnso is a brand that is in toyotas!

my aunt could drive all the way from akron ohio to atlanta georgia in about 11-12 hours... n thats about 95% straight driving no hotel stay and very few rest stops!

you could probably do even more miles by not using the ac at all...
