I finally took my Honda in for service today, and to combat boredom in the waiting room, I asked my sales guy if he could take me for a spin in the new CRZ. It gets 39 Highway MPG, and I thought, what the heck? Maybe I could try to save some gas $ for a change. I knew I was in trouble when my sales guy was over-booked & passed me off to a new sales guy who just started a few weeks ago. HE called himself a rookie, not me. He was nice enough let me sit in the CRZ in the showroom. I got behind the wheel- all 5' 11" of me, and my knees were literally touching the steering wheel even with the seat reclined all the way back into the "no back seat." "You're very leggy. You won't be comfortable in this car. I can't lie to you," said the refreshingly honest sales guy. Leggy. I'll take it. I can think of worse things to be called. So much for the sport hybrid line for me. I'll stick with my Accord.
I'm 6ft 4, & I drive a CR-Z! The steering wheel adjusts for rake & reach in the UK! I must admit I couldnt fit in the GT version because the glass roof reduces head room, so had to settle for the tin top Sport version!
ReplyDeleteCool! So, is that version only available in the UK? Thanks for reading my blog & for commenting on it! Gina
