Peugeot RCZ vs Honda CRZ - Auto Express

[CarvalhoCaldeira]

Why not compare the CR-Z with a similar price, similar power and similar mpg number car?

The RCZ is much more expensive.

Why not compare with another french coupe like the megane?

I prefer the RCZ blablabla, then buy one, if you can. Because the CR-Z is much more affordable. By the way i prefer the Audi TT wich is more similar to the RCZ.

[CFItachi]

I just got a 2012 CRZ for my birthday and it's awesome! I love it, and its actually really fast. I don't understand why all the videos give it shit.

[elmura73]

@CFItachi 10 Seconds 0-100kph is not "really fast".

[CFItachi]

@elmura73 Who honestly wants to go that fast everytime. I fill up gas every fifteen days with only thirty dollars, and I prefer that alot more.

[carlobi]

Surprising fuel economy considering stop start technology? Did you actually stop and start during your 130mi economy test?

[ProphetRay]

I like the Audi TTs way better

[Solider134]

honda ftw

[WhatThePresidentSays]

waiting for CRZ Type-R

[leoachilles]

French cars? No thanks!

[kasanovakai]

@leoachilles do you like Bugatti? Of course you don't. Its French.

[MrAlvarobricio]

A traseira parece um pouco com o porsche!

[FCautodesigm]

Peugeot RCZ ftw, it looks sooo beautiful! Especially irl!

[kall67]

peugeot are crap.. I would never buy one again. talk about problems, and im not the only one complaining. Honda is a good make and excellent engines, i hope one day to own one.

[kasanovakai]

@kall67 I own both. My wife drives a 207cc and I drive a civic. Once you start driving european cars you will understand the difference.

[GamerAndReviewer]

The CRZ is beautiful at front, but I think I like the RCZ...

[offspringy]

It needs a TypeR VTEC button lol

[Todis51]

ill take the rcz

[BoobieNizer]

RCZ is the only good looking peugeot, i love the roof shape and its way more nice IRL and it reminds me of an R8

[dunti21]

@BoobieNizer yea the stole the idea from the Audi TT

[kasanovakai]

@dunti21 and tt stole from 350z

[dunti21]

@kasanovakai Yea, except that the TT started its production in 1998 and the 350z started in 2002, brightspark. Ever heard the saying, "better to not speak and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt" Now go dig yourself another hole

[kasanovakai]

@dunti21 Right because the 350z looks anything like the 1998 TT, brightspark. You know what worse than being retard? A retard thinking he's smart...

[dunti21]

@kasanovakai Yea and like the new TT looks anything like the 350z too? The new TT has a very similar shape to the old one, and the lights don't even rise up the body like the Nissan. You're just making yourself look like a fool bud.

[kasanovakai]

@dunti21 I am not going to go into depth of design. You are so retarded to not even know the point of this argument. This did not copy the TT, its a fastback, thats it. Obviously you have never been in a design school. Even the so original iPhone would be according to you "copied the iPaQ". Such a dumb shit...

[dunti21]

@kasanovakai dude, it's you who keeps saying one car copied another, except that the latter came first. It's the same fucking class. You don't need to go to design school to see that the TT looks like a TT and not a bloody 350z which came AFTER the TT. I could be saying that iPhone story about YOU because you started the shit

[kasanovakai]

@dunti21 Please ask your mother who's your real daddy. Too much mixed sperm tends to cause retardation. This is the last comment I will leave for you, retardation is a infectious disease that has no treatment. Good luck herp derp. You will need it.

[dunti21]

@kasanovakai yea cool comeback man. real hardcore. You know you lost the argument when you resort to mother jokes and "retard" wise cracks...

[GeneralCupcakes]

To bad Peugeot doesn't sell cars in the US. I'd totally get the RCZ if they did.

[PL3690]

The best scenario would be to make the CRZ 1.5 turbo with IMA for a type r version. the K20 wont be meeting emission standards in a few years.

[PeresD]

The CRZ is BUTT UGLY !

[rock3tcat]

Such a beautiful car that Pug is...

[allLightsonme]

peugeot ugly

[leknightcluber]

@allLightsonme hahha beautiful car

[snoopcent1]

vive peugeot @_@



[Linder0th]

Wearing a striped shirt when filming = n00b move

[hellochrisj]

Whos the new guy?

[TheTraxxasfreak]

the peugot looks like an audi tt...cool!....the honda looks like a prius and pontiac aztec made a baby, then that baby ate a honda crosstour and then the baby shit out the honda CRZ. plus the largets turnoff? ITS STILL A HYBRID

[TheTraxxasfreak]

It's still a hybrid.....

[Shuffle3956]

omg fucking peugeot with its "double bubble roof". how gay and feminin. shit

[FloydGilmour]

@Shuffle3956 the honda is UGLY

[TheAmericasax]

peugeot fairlady

[1D0N]

Peugeot TT

[GAMENOVA]

the hybrid lost to a diesel... wow

[AvengedSol]

where I live, diesel is 1 dollar more per gallon

[shobin05]

hybrids are stupid, you think by driving an electric motor is going to save the world but all you get is the same amount of fuel being wasted from a petrol engine and rubbish cheap interior...i like the CRZ, it looks amazing but its nowhere near compared to the rcz...its the obvious winner..

[EpiDemic117]

what this dude forgot to mention on the MPG consumption is the fact that Diesel IS WAY MORE FUCKING EXPENSIVE THAN GAS. so yes the CRZ is cheaper to run and operate and costs less per mile.

[mibars]

@EpiDemic117 Depends. In Poland for example diesel is cheaper than petrol, usually by about 5-15 cents.

[Orangys280Z]

@EpiDemic117 Not too sure where you are from, but here in the US, diesel is more expensive then premium! At least it is here in sunny Southern California. Oh, and while the rest of the country gets up to 93 octane, we only get 91 for premium. And even though the US hasn't seen a French car of any brand since the early 90's, I know that there is also a gas powered version of the RCZ with up to 200hp and on the website is supposed to average 39.8 mpg and another gas engine getting 40.9.

[b0ss6769]

Honda reliability through all those years VS Peugeot ?????

Lol

Honda3> power of dreams.

[kasanovakai]

@b0ss6769 Yeah, reliability for those who cant afford to fix and maintain their cars. Only broke people look at reliability as a factor in their decision.

How much reliability does a BMW/ Lamborghini / RR / F1 car have?

[stumpydar]

I've test drove bought of them and i have to say the pug is much more fun. In terms of interior spec they are both on par but the pug takes it with a higher build quality. The big problem that faces these cars is the resale. The crz might be difficult to sell because of the ugly rear end and too futuristic interior where the pug might be hard to see due to the horrendous reliability record french cars in general hold.

[hjb8e9]

id never drive that honda. its social suicide. if i drove that rcz id get a social promotion

[wiccanmoonman]

@hjb8e9 The only thing french make well is wine however their cars suck they should give up making cars which should be easy for they're good at being cowards. Driving a french car here car is suicide Honda one the best safety and quality records in the world.

[hjb8e9]

@wiccanmoonman what about design? what about art? who gives a shit whether its electric or not. it looks like crap. 1.5 litre? oh great. sounds like its going to be a fucking awesome drive. when making a coupe the priority is image otherwise you may as well make a saloon. if you dont believe me then come and take away my 1st class hons in car design...by the way, have a look at what was the most reliable car of 2010 in europe. it was the peugeot 207. dont listen to rumours that are 20 years old

[ImportCustomX]

Your right the peugot is a nice hyundai front end with an audi tts rip off the rest of the body.

[wiccanmoonman]

French cars SUCK ASS! I'm getting a Honda CR-Z

[hjb8e9]

@wiccanmoonman cus u cant afford the pug

[wiccanmoonman]

@hjb8e9 No I can afford it I just won't want it french cars suck. I like Japanese car brands, Ford, and VW

[hjb8e9]

@wiccanmoonman do that, and wave bye bye to any street cred

[MonkayMan]

never been a fan of french cars but i like that rcz alot. but i think i'd still take the cr-z although in the US we don't get little eco-diesel cars like europe does. so 40mpg is great compared to the gas guzzlers here.

[shahjahaAn]

The presenter is a giraffe mate ur neck is so long

[helorm341]

rc zed and cr zed? I don't get it, is zed some new hybrid lingo?

[organicalistic]

His shirt... it is psychadelic what the camera does to it

[torresy0]

fucking honda sucks now. theres been talk of a possible revival of the nsx.. watch if they bring that back out, they`re bound to fuck it up to.

[S1K3O]

im pretty sure theres gonna be an si model non hybrid i hope

[S1K3O]

im pretty sure theres gonna be an si model

[giannised7]

turbo vs hybrid??????

[Rexart35]

CRZ and RCZ make good rivals

[sunny2006bunny]

CRX from 1984 to 1992 were nice cars, but this CR-Z is so agly. The frontside is not that bad, but Honda should change the CR-Z´s lokk of the interior and the specialy the rear, afterwards Honda can increase their sales figures.

[RdcsVtec]

@sunny2006bunny buhhhhh..... you don´t know what you´re saying, clearly!

[ramonrios01]

add a turbo on the CR-Z and then compare both of them. I have a Honda from 1991 200,000 mile and its my work car i drive 60 mile's a day and it runs like new, i have a 2007 Honda Fit and so far I'm loving it. HONDA FOR LIFE.

[ajkooper]

i don't see why the CRZ and RCZ are so comparable.

[alex8ivic]

very bas comparation... one is hibrid an the other no.. Very bad!

[hippop1111]

I'm disappointed. The CRZ fails.... having owned a 85 and 87 CRX si, modified 03 Civic EX coupe and a 2000 insight the CRZ falls short of any measurable bench marks previously set by Honda, in fact the specs are nearly identical to my 03 but with poorer performance.

[CHEVAVAL04]

The Peugeot design is confused. Drive both cars for a year, and see which one cost more. Peugeot has serious reliability problem. Honda produces one of the best engines in the world and very reliable. He definitly forgot to mention that. Honda brand has a lot of value.

[xxTrAnCerAvExX]

audi tt & volvo

[5959512]

my toyota yaris gets 43 mpg,cost 13k, and does 0-60 in less than ten seconds

[NetCarShoww]

@5959512 Toyota Yaris gets fucked up real quick and the suspension. that's why it's cheap

[5959512]

@NetCarShoww I beat the shit out of my car everyday for 3 years straight with no problems

[SuLLy5071]

If he would have put it in Eco mode the crz would have had better gas milage so you really cannot compare

[MegaBrad2000]

which car would last longer ,peugeot is cool but would not last as long as the honda

[summitsvift]

@MegaBrad2000 man I had 406 and thought it did brake down a lot it did impressive milage, but for super Peugeot will for sure brake down at some stage.

[96integra02]

I gotta say that puegeot looks like the audi TT (sexy)

[DrewsiferXXX]

they should that Peugeot in the US. I would buy one.

[dazzaw1]

They should make a CR-Z Type R, Thumbs up if you agree?

[carmodifire]

@dazzaw1 The type R should have the batteries lower mounted, but the main thing would be a k20a (rsx type s motor). 220 hp in something that light!

[dazzaw1]

@carmodifire Or in my opinion for a type-r version they should bring back the Honda S2000 AP2 2157cc, 237bhp engine with a high performance battery or whatever it is they would need to use...I'd love to see this going head to head with a Mazdasport 3 (Mazda 3 MPS)

[carmodifire]

@dazzaw1 I was thinking that too about the s2k. Realize that its a convertible too, if it wasn't, it would be lighter and handle better and have better aerodynamics. It is still compared to great cars and looks amazing, even after a decade. Honda has greatengineers, no common sense, look at the 2seater insight. and now, they give only part of the high mpg tech to the insight, and other to the civic. Makes no sense. still I am a Honda loyalist. have you seen initial d? its cool, but not realistic

[dazzaw1]

@carmodifire I'd love to see the s2k engine in this, then again i'd love a new s2k to come out soon...I couldnt agree more, potentially the best engineers in the world but as you say no common sense and no thinking outside the box....My parents owned a honda accord 1986 and a 1999 honda shuttle (oddessey) and they both loved them but since my dad has driven Subaru, Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Porsche and my mum has a new Nissan Note because of the way Honda has gone, theres no imagination...

[dazzaw1]

@carmodifire No, can you send a google link so i can have a look?

[carmodifire]

@dazzaw1 You can watch it on youtube. its a anime/cartoon about a kid who races other people on mountains in Japan in the late ninties and now in 2000something; its still ongoing. its divided into parts, 1st stage, 2nd stage 3rd stage, 4th stage. each stage has a certain number of episodes. for example, search 'initial d 2nd stage, episode 4' but the first 2 stages have really old style animation. 3rd and 4th is much more clear, but a lot of people like the 'oldschool'. more info on wikipedia

[vash241987]

@dazzaw1 Honda plans on having a 1.6 turbo for the CR-Z  ;)

[elumint]

@dazzaw1

they do make one! ;)

[digitaltactics]

@dazzaw1 and call it CR-X Type-3-R

[ricksmiths10]

@dazzaw1 there have been rumors that honda is working on an Si version for US so i guess they r also working on a Type R since they r basically the same except for the last gen

[urbanlegend2u]

@dazzawthe type R is coming so soon... this is just the beginning of CR-Z

[tom11zz884]

The Puegeot beats the Honda in this comparison..sorry Honda

[poltaotata]

I love the CR.Z !!!

I'll buy it soon !

[nikandraathelvete]

Peugeot FTW.

Fuck ugly Hondas.

[nicks91ef]

FUCK your ugly momma your just jealous your car sucks ASS

[SolidShell2]

@nikandraathelvete you suck. if your going to calculate, Honda has more reputation than Peugeot, Honda lost doesnt mean they suck wait for Type R you walrus looking piece of crap

[Zerolagg]

The CR-Z would be nice if it didn't have that fat ugly tail. The RCZ has clearly a better design, and it has better engines.

[MegaPiffPaff]

european cars the best england have nothing plan for cars lol

[prisonbreak7760]

His shirt is trippy !! 0:17

[mundotaku]

I like more the Peugeot, but the only thing wea have here in America is that crappy Honda.

[nicks91ef]

just because yours sucks and mine is JDM as Fuck dont hate. try built not bought

[mundotaku]

@nicks91ef ?????? What the hell are you talking about ??? What is mine that sucks and what has to do that you have a JDM ???? O_o

[alronmendoza]

first of all. its very stupid to compare a US$39.66k to a US$19.2k car. to those people who doesn't want honda then shut-up and don't say anything stupid about it. honda's way to share the hybrid technology with the cheapest price is a fulfillment. who cares if you drive a US$40k car if you can't even buy yourself gas, die from hunger and be buried in debts.. better have something that is worth your money, not worth your eyes. all car manufacturer's were good, don't say shit to their masterpiece

[jansoir1982]

I like to Peugeot more.

[eightycc]

...my 98 TDI gets 42mpg every week. ...I've gotten as high as 54 on an 8 hour trip. 90hp-150lbft

[jimbobsailor]

peugeot suck balls

[TheRealSensor]

Can we put the epic F22 in here? Then I would buy it HONDA and it would sit next to my CR. HONDA wake the hell up please, we don't want your green shit!... Honda will die without a cult following of speed, that is quickly moving to Subaru and Hyundai FFS you tards. This is what happens when the executives come from American business schools.

[xreptarbreex]

@TheRealSensor i really cant give this enough thumbs up

what ever happened to the nsx and rsx era? the crx too.

i understand that acura is trying to actually be a luxury car line now but who says that luxury cars cant be sporty? although the tl and rl are pretty fast, they arent sporty at all

[alronmendoza]

@TheRealSensor racist?

[meth64]

Junk. no way this can live up to its predecessor the CRX with its whimpy drive train. Fuck going green, i dont care now and more than likley wont after im dead.

[alronmendoza]

@meth64 selfish? try to care for others, your not the only one living in this world

[uztoobz]

OMG YOUR PURPLE SHIRT IS MOVING

[AshtonPhoto]

Top Gear are going to rip the CRZ to shreds.

39 mpg!!

Pathetic!

[catlovermarty]

The Puegeot is just too weird looking! Plus, it's French. French cars are not known for their wonderful realiability.

[seauryakumar]

@kazimann you are too immature to understand why people are trying to save the planet by going Green it's better that you don't comment on the topic

[Trenta002]

I think this video made one thing clear. Wearing that shirt while recording a video is a terrible idea.

[yamilriverarohena]

HONDA the best brand in the world...

[enemay]

Peugeots, something breaks down every 5k km.

[FallOutBoyx530]

he fails, crz is not the first hybrid w/ manual tranny. the first insight has a manual tranny

[westyman1904]

@FallOutBoyx530 you fail more... he says its the first hybrid w/ a 6 speed manual trannyy, not just manual

[ITRlover1]

I drove a CRZ today and its definatly a sharp looking car inside and out. Its no sports car for sure but I found it fun to drive.

[jonbanfill]

fuck that shit honda forever

[bind27]

comparing Gas and Deisel? = My ass

[40172]

Just test drove a CRZ today and unimpressed!

Rear view awful, you cant see either side due to pillars and dinky rear windows.

If you adjust seat where you can see out OK, your head almost rubs ceiling.

A neat car, but not a real sports car or a hybrid.

Honda should take it and put a SI motor in it and drop the hybrid part, or keep that too and see what that does power and mpg wise.

[tyronnezx]

CRZ = FWD. nuff said

[chrisubass]

peugeot is the best!!!

[krirks]

I love Honda

but why on earth that their hybrids got so bad figures in mpg

cant compare to european's diesel at all

[nikitoo38]

peugeot is so beautiful :) honda is small and...i dont care about environment :D peugeot rlzZzZzZ

[waty0usay1]

i would take Honda coz its looking a lot better and it is a better car.

I can see that Peugeot has copied Audi TT design so that makes the car awful and gay to me..

[burtonandi]

honda looks fun to drive, but the peugot is ugly in my opinion.

[2bearQloza]

dobri su............

[sarokas12]

That peugeot is beautiful! I wish it had a BMW badge...

[AllBoutTheTech]

Re-uploaded and fixed the Volvo mistake. NICE!

[UDM81D]

wrong shirt

[kazimann]

Fuck the environment.

[MassiveLemon]

@kazimann

Wait until your kids and grandkids are suffering from our fucking mistakes and say that again.

[kazimann]

@MassiveLemon Meh, that's their problem. I'll be long in the ground by then.

[ps3Storm3sp]
