Quick summary
Total: 1,485 cars
The 2011 Honda CR-Z shows an overall defect rate of 219 per 100 vehicles, which is significantly lower than the yearly average of 271 per 100, marking a 19% improvement. While tyre wear is a common issue across vehicles, this model particularly stands out positively in categories such as visibility, lights and electrics, and equipment, showing much lower defect rates than the average. However, it does have a notable weakness in steering, where its defect rate is almost double that of the average car. Mileage trends indicate that defects increase with higher mileage, but the CR-Z remains considerably more reliable compared to its peers in most categories.
