    My account on the forum has been deactivated but Ive got a 2011 6 speed in Orlando that Ive turboed about 5 years ago. Ive owned this car for ten years and it's just one of my favorite cars ever made. Ive got 260k on it with next to zero issues that werent self inflicted. Its output has been nerfed at 200whp until I can afford to build the bottom end, and it's just so much fun to drive. First budget mod should be the Spoon front sway bar! And yeah, Im pretty sure I know who's car that was as well! 😂😂

    I have a '15 EX CVT. Had an '11 CVT Base new. I'll get a ZF2 6MT one day. Not looking for the cars of my past as much; though I'd love a 20B FD. I've owned 2 8s, 3 FCs, among others.
    This car is fun, economical, reliable (low mile well cared for). I find them fun. I can overpay for two cherry Zs for what I'd pay for one nice Blue FK8 Type R or build a Hondata turbo Z and a HPD supercharged on. Have one a sleeper and one with Mugen parts and all 'dressed up'.
    These are fun, well handling little things.

      The Bolt was a good daily. Just boring and the range limitation was becoming a problem for my commute, going from once a week charge to twice in most cases. Operation costs for this CRZ are not much more than the Bolt EV, considering I’m a technician. I do miss the features of the Bolt, like the Bose sound, Apple CarPlay, the display and 360 camera, auto door locks, etc. but that doesn’t make up for the massive difference is fun while commuting.

But it might just be that some have a spare and some don't. That was the case in the 2015 model year. Mine doesn't have a spare, never did, but it does have the layout for a spare. Some models did have a spare, some didn't. Doesn't really make sense why they would offer ones with a spare and some not. But I bought used, so not much control over that. Or color. I have a white one, but I would prefer blue. Hope to repaint it blue eventually, or maybe I'll decide on a different color.

    2011 6spd, in black. My 3rd Honda Hybrid.
    1) 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid with 5spd, which commonly let me break 60mpg.
    2) 2010 Gen II Insight, which was nice but only lasted 10 weeks before a drunk driver plowed into at 2:00 a.m. in front of my house.
    3) 2011 CRZ.
    Insight constantly wandered it seemed at highway speeds, while the Civic Hybrid went down railroad tracks to Montana. Z is somewhere in between, stable at highway speeds yet responsive. I've owned 14 Hondas now, and the CRZ is easily the favorite.
