Sounds good. Thanks all!

 

Whats the preferred compliment to the s2000 for an SUV, Truck or Crossover? Not my cars in the picture, but I know what my choice would be!

 

This is my compliment, although I'm not sure if it's ideal... I would prefer to have a sedan as well. Needing 3 cars seems a bit much though..

 

Three cars? You rang?

 

Ken, how do you like CR-Z? We're thinking about getting one for her commute to Beaverton every day and using the Forester for road trips / surfing..

 

It's my second 6MT CR-Z. The one to get for sure is a 16 model as it has the Lanewatch camera. The biggest faults I have with the car is lack of power and blindspots. Fortunately theres plenty of solutions to get more power (supercharging mine) and the Lanewatch and backup cameras do a great job. It's a very easy to park car and with the right tires, extremely tossable in the corners.

 

Thanks for the reply. There was an LHT K20 swapped one which I just slightly missed - I'd imagine it would be great fun. What's the real world MPG on yours?

 

Stock, I got 42 mpg going 70 mph on long trips. The '12 CR-Z I had before did so as well. I saw as high as 45 on country roads.

In Beaverton's awful stop and go traffic I'd get about 30 mpg.

With the sticky tires and larger wheels I'm guesstimating after a few runs I'm likely around 38 mpg at 70 mph.

The CVT is definitely more fuel efficient but it kills the fun of this car, the 6MT is really quite good - as good as any other FWD Honda.

 

Oh wow that's great, thanks! Might be an ideal surf mobile also!

 

Anyone heading out for the 503 Block Party?
