Cheers Nick - my usual problem ME/CFS finally caught up with me. I'm paying the price now (I should learn not to do too much, but I never do).
I quite liked the CRZ. A lot of car for the money - handled well, cheap to run. Only problem really was the fuel economy was pretty crap for a hybrid - 40mpg isn't really that impressive.
We'll make a final decision on the ATR once we get a proper rust check by an expert. It was clear last time I was under it, but I think we have a few pinholes in the bulkhead.
I still feel cheated by Honda on the FN2 - a great car ruined by the big wheels, I swapped it on to the ATR wheels for a day and the ride was much better. Unfortunately 215s were too narrow for the CTR's power delivery so I had to go back on to the 18s and 225s.

Not quite, the 19s were optional;. 18s standard. I can only imagine what it rides like on 19s
I tried the ATR wheels as I needed new tyres. Couldn't be arsed trying to source wheels so bought new boots on the 18s - which actually improved the ride a little - I guess I have an extra 10mm of tyre tread between me and the road now.
