Consumer Review Video - 2011 Honda CR-Z EX 1.5L 4 Cyl.
Common problems and easy repairs on a 2011 CR-Z
The 2011 Honda CR-Z EX is a moderately easy car to maintain. The components of the spare tire are reliably accessible in the rear of the vehicle. This keeps the jack kit and tire ready to go in case of emergency. Checking the brake fluid level is no problem, as the fluid reservoir is easily visible in the engine bay. Changing the rear wiper blade is easy to do on this car. Other vehicles will require the use of tools, and this vehicle only requires the use of your bare hands.
Not everything is perfect on the 2011 Honda CR-Z EX. To drain the coolant, you will have to remove a panel underneath the vehicle. This requires you to crawl underneath the vehicle to complete. To access the fog light, you will have to reach through the wheel well lining for access. The lining can grow rigid and tight to the vehicle over time. Checking the engine coolant fluid reservoir can be tough, as the maximum and minimum level markers are not easily visible.
