I bought my CRZ the first week it went on sale in the U.S. and am still thrilled by it a year and half later. I only spend $30 a week on gas after averaging 45 mph and 42.5 mpg. after 20,000 miles. I probably drive it in normal mode 80% of the time and 10% in ecomony and 10% in sport. With the gas mileage I get there isn't a need to drive it in economy mode all though that day of $5 gal may be coming. All I can say is fantastic job Honda !
Chevy will never be better than the Japanese car. But there is a way that they could be much more better.. They need to get rid of the unions that have the choke hold on GM. there is no way GM can more ahead until they take that chain off there neck. Then GM will be the leader again. But until then GM will always be 4th to 5th on the list
If i drive it in an economic prius kind of way i get 4.5 L on 100 km. (1:23 l/km- ish. ) ( easy on the lead foot and stick to the right with 100 km/h on a mostly highway route. When i drive it in sports mode, and more importantly, I accelerate more powerful, I still average 6.3l on 100 km. (1: 16 l/km-ish )
So i find it ideal. I dont always want to have an economic car and I dont always need a sportive car (when I use it for work i get a set amount of € p/km ). Best thing: Love the interior

Apparently people just LOVE to buy ugly, shit cars then? Look up the car sales. Toyota is giving GM a run for their money in sales. While Honda is the 3rd largest car manufacturer in the world.
Bad cars? Yeah, right. The millions of Toyota and Honda cars on the road today make it pretty clear they are anything but.
@medz91xc Say what you want but at lesat GM is giving honda a run for its money and don't worry give General Motors time, they will be back on top where they should be. Toyoto SUCK SHIT and Honda eats SHIT
"GM is giving Honda a run for its money". Do you realize how sad that sounds? The company that pretty much lead the automotive industry for nearly 100 years trying to chase down Honda, a company that only started to make cars in the 60's.
I think thats embarrassing. The sales show that to be true.
And Toyota? Yeah, the Camry is the best selling car in the United States. Ranked number 1 in automobile production in the world.
anyone else patiently waiting to hear more about the supercharger kit mugen has in development? about 200HP from a bolt on, and apparently you'll get 50mpg.
@musicmanvin1 I thought that was just a concept. Not too sure about the 50mpg, I read that on the Top Gear website and UK gallons are larger than US gallons, not to mention most of the mpg increase probably came from all the weight reduction from the carbon fiber body panels.
@Jakeness21 Ya, it was a concept, but it cost too much for production. I did read that they'll release a Mugen SC CRZ in the UK making 170HP, not sure why it's down 30hp from the concept tho : / I think the fuel savings came from the fact that Mugen completely remapped the ECU and kept ECO and Sport modes.
I don't like the honda's cuz mom has had 2 of them one was a 1997 it had trans problems and the 05 she has now has electrical problems and I have had one van for the past 12 years with no problems at all the most major problem I have ever had with my van was a sticky caliper and it is a 91 grand caravan 330,000 miles and it has out lasted 2 Honda's
@MniAK0 Let's put it this way: if you drive it in Sport mode, it needs some more fuel but it is enjoyable to drive, if you want to spare fuel you switch to Economy and chill out. In Europe it is not more expensive than similar non-hybrid cars, I don't know about other countries...I do know though, that I crossed Germany driving between 100 and 110mph in Sport mode and I still made a very respectable 31mpg, with the batteries always providing a nice boost when accelerating, even at high speed! :)
Probably the only thing that i don't like about the Cr-z Concept is the tail lights the rest is good the one now is way better, but there's still some problems that it has and that is the lack of mileage, I mean if Honda wants a sport HYBRID then i has to at least get 40mpg, i mean like the focus is better then this and it costs less, you get the most of your money, the IMA may be Ok, but like a said the focus beats the mileage and the power, if this was a class Honda needs to step it up.
Anyone who have this car STRONGLY recommend it for some one looking to buy it? I'm not sure about it only being a two seater in the US. I'd like to drive a couple friends around, but I really want this car. I don't know.
The video doesn't give you the real feeling of this shit. I saw it today at Honda showroom at Toronto. The ugliest car ever made. So sick. I vomited out my last night dinner.
im a honda fan, i drove it and have to admit citroen ds3 is more fun to drive and has crisper steering, but those mods are fun, u drive in normal and dont change the pressure on gas, than switch to sport and everyhing changes, sound and car accelerates itself, without changeing pressure on the gas. so funny)
BUT i think its too expensive and hella inpractial 8( only 2 usable seats, can seat in the back AT ALL!
by the same size i would pick ds3 over crz any day.
I own an 8th gen honda civic and i will stand by it over this hybrid any day. I have
yet to see one on the streets here. how do you justify a 2 seater that is gutless and only churns out 33 or so mpg? Styling? Well, about that, im waiting for the non-hybrid version to come out but only if they have back seats.
This hybrid, imo, sucks...lost potential, lost CRX fan base.
my dad got this car about 2 weeks ago. And i must say, the handling is superb and driving the car is pure fun. And there is a noticeable difference between the modes, and of course I favorite the sport. Overall a beautiful and good performing car, with a good price tag too.
Volvo redesigned the front ends of their vehicles, and passed on the old design to Honda to put on this car. Very attractive, but completely uninspired. And the grille, I can't tell if it's Mazda-smiley, or Audi.
@krazyfrazyJ They aren't comparing. They just bought them to test if it had a sporty feel. But performance-wise, everyone obviously knows who wins. They bought the mini for the eco mode of the car, but they bought the Scirocco to compare to their car to. I bet the Scirocco is better since it isn't a hybrid and sports car in one. I'm pretty sure if Honda removed the "green" part of the car, it would perform a lot better.
I dont get it. i drive a honda cr-x HF. i get extremely good fuel economy and its stone age technology....if technology has improved so much than why doesnt the cr-z have better fuel economy?? i mean it does, but it should be way better than 39 mpgs
I did drive one of these this week, I liked how it handled, if the dealer would come off sticker price I would have bought one right then.
The only thing I don't understand is why we can not get all the colors they show in other video's, they only offer white, black, a blueish silver and a lighter blue.
I think they look great in red, but it's not available according to honda's sight.
How does a Lotus Elise compare with a CR-Z. And how does this thing have the desirable performance, it only has a 10 second 0-60, which is very slow. It might be a better handler than the CRX but it is not faster. 10 second 0-60 is just pathetic for today's standards. An 8 second 0-60 would be acceptable. I really like the look of this car, but it is so stupid they didn't make an Si of it. And for that they've really missed out.
The old CRX might even have a better handling, I suppose. The CRX is really lightweight, has a double-wishbone-suspension. The new CRZ only has conventional McPherson struts like most cars todays, as it's cheaper to produce.
Bolt some 195/50-15 tires under your CRX and you outbeat the CR-Z performancewise in every single aspect.
This isn't Honda Engineering's fault but I wish someone would edit out all the non-car sequences from this video. I dont care about general shots of roads and buildings. Also, just make the captions over video of the car.
it has the crx shape (in better looks) a honda engine (that you can trust) stylish interior (that blows you away) economy (that can give you also power and mpg/kmpl) and a heart of a japanese (that tells you use me till the end)......now thats something we all like.....
p.s why dont you all haters try it first??i will even im not a hater but a lover.....
Honda is going all out in what it does best - economic, compact, and environmental. So I dont know why you ricers associated Honda with racing performance.
@v10moped OMG! several F1 championships, as a constructor and engine supplier ...developing the NSX with Ayrton Senna, in the Indy Car powered six consecutive drivers championships before being the only engine supplier (because Honda made and makes the best engines) Honda-powered cars overwhelmingly dominated the IndyCar Series, winning 14 of 16 IndyCar races, including the Indianapolis 500, and claimed the IndyCar Series Manufacturers' Championship, and Drivers' Championships.. enough?
@casoig Okay you got me there with the NSX. I have respect for that car. but thats about it for Honda. I guess what I meant to say is, I don't know why ricers keep thinking their little vtec hatchbacks are something special.
@rg0r VW is a piece of shit. My uncle had 2 VW's and both broke down a few years down the line. The 1996 Honda Civic they had with 400,000 kms outlasted both VW's.
@rg0r Who drives VW lol! People make funny of that, and mainly bugs bunny drives it. Give me a real car like Hitlers Mercedes, Porsche or a BMW not a bugs bunny car in VW. I'd still choose Honda over FolksWagon
I'm sorry, but this car is just lost in translation. There is absolutely NO point to buying the CR-Z. It's economically inefficient, cramped, gets 4 mpg more than a 4 door civic which also has twice the space and more HP. This is all coming from a Honda fan. I've owned 3 Hondas with my current one being an RSX-S. Honda I'm sorry, but you've lost me as a future customer with the horrid lineup of cars you have available. The Civic Si is slow. Hondas 2010 + lineup ='s FAIL!
@JJ388JAr that's right, because you have nothing intelligent to say. This car is beautiful AND it's a hybrid. Improvements are always going to follow, so shut up and drive a hybrid
Maaan, why are cars so cheap in the states? The CR-Z will cost from 26k to 29k USD in european countries but it'll start at just over 20k in the US. That's just not fair.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@capitoni because their yanks dude, they get everything cheap because they think they are a superior race! haha just look at their cars though, talk about living in the dark ages with their gas guzzler v8's and leaf spring suspension, lol. their jokes really. cant beat jap and german engineering. nice little car the crz but i just hate hybrids, they dont work!!!!!
All cars look better at night cause the contrast of the reflection is more intense at night. LOL. Just park on the top of the mall's parking structure and leave at night. All the cars would look like they're new.
Cause i've heard it got 33mpg. Freakin broke my heart when i heard that. SHOOT i just might buy one now. I was like...33mpg? that's the same as my 2010 honda civic. sheesh.
Link me up where you got that info. I need to see that with my own eyes.
@factionxvt408x city mpg might very well be 33 with sports-mode on, but the official numbers on the japanese and german honda-homepages are: 39mpg city/47mpg average/54mpg highway in NORMAL-mode. economy-mode should give a bump of around 5. europe gets the cr-z in 2 month so expect a lot of information by then
(plus a lot depends on how you drive)
p.s.: people should stfu until they've at least test driven the car
Wow cool Thanks! I'm getting this! Do you have the price too? I guess I can give my sister my civic when i get this...well, if it is reasonably priced.
@factionxvt408x in japan it's being sold for 27k$ right now. in the u.k. it'll start for 26k$ in a month but the price will keep sinking because the production cost for the battery it uses is sinking dramatically
NEVER trust the posted MPG´s they have on the windshield. My 2008 Honda 2 dr DXG can only manage 30mpg. I ALWAYS drive in nuetral down hill and never gun the gas but slowly build speed. with that I could only manage 30mpg. so this business of 54mpg is highly questionable. Even the Honda dealership I bought from told me that the rating is not based on anything near real world driving conditions. The crz sacrifices size to accomodate mediocre fuel economy.
@KilluaXIII I just bought one, drove my first 500km with an average fuel consumption of 43.5 mpg...pretty fine if you think that I crossed the Alps between Switzerland and Italy, therefore reaching 1600 metres above the sea level before going down again. This car is not for racing, the batteries run out too soon for that, but if driven properly it gives quite some pleasure for short sporty driving!
@TRDBaron dude, you need neither tuning nor an ecu change. that's what the sports-mode is for! did you even check all the new functions? i mean enhanced engine response and 174NM from 1000rpm in a car that weights 1210kg with fuel AND driver. does that really sound weak?
@KilluaXIII You're right that 174NM from such a low rpm is good for this lightweight car but that initial torque doesn't tell the whole story. It's a bit like VTEC in reverse, lot of oomph off the line then power falling as you rev to redline. At the end of the day it does no better economy than the 2.2CDTi Civic and it performs much slower. Further you must also take into account once you've loaded it up with 4 adults and luggage the performance hit is even worse percent wise...
@srrybunny well, the K20A from the jdm type r paired with the IMA would definitely be sick and make a craaaazy powertrain with like 240ps and 280nm output, but all I'm saying is that the CR-Z is already pretty good the way it is, since it's veeeery light
sorry but i dont think many people will buy that crz.....no offense to any crz fan but this car is only small hybird and small sport car and plus its 2 seater....... 122 hp i think with 6 speed manual and automatic........ honda can do better than that just to fix the crx or crz horsepower but the looks is great......it will be use for a collection car if people buy it
I'm curious about how this thing's performance compares to my 22 year old CRX Si. I'd like to see 22 years worth of evolution in the performance and refinement.
@blazzing4321 wow, you must be a janitor or a garbage man. see,from studying engineering in germany i know that german manufacturers are biting their nails in frustration because japanese manufacturers lead the world in dependability, quality and technology(and honda probably makes the most reliable cars)
concerning the CR-Z i can say that it will be very special and impossible to understand as a car by just looking at numbers. i get the feeling that the test-drive will be a shocking experience
In all honesty, Japanese auto makers always know what they're doing. They know they're in a critical market right now and they can't lose it. It's gonna be fun to drive, most most likely and will give great fuel economy.
It will not however make the hard-core drivers happy, but I can really really predict an "SI" version of this car coming in maybe a year or two :)
Maybe they'll supercharge or turbocharge the hybrid engine (lol)
I'm not a hardcore fan of any make but, how can you be stupid enough to say that an american car is more reliable than japanese. (sorry for the "stupid" but i couldnt find another word)
I was really hoping for an electric model. Put a 50kw engine within each of the four hubs and you'd have AWD traction control with no drivetrain losses. 200kw at the wheels *sigh*. Perhaps they'll build one someday.

I did drive one of these this week, I liked how it handled, if the dealer would come off sticker price I would have bought one right then.
The only thing I don't understand is why we can not get all the colors they show in other video's, they only offer white, black, a blueish silver and a lighter blue.
I think they look great in red, but it's not available according to honda's sight.

How does a Lotus Elise compare with a CR-Z. And how does this thing have the desirable performance, it only has a 10 second 0-60, which is very slow. It might be a better handler than the CRX but it is not faster. 10 second 0-60 is just pathetic for today's standards. An 8 second 0-60 would be acceptable. I really like the look of this car, but it is so stupid they didn't make an Si of it. And for that they've really missed out.

The old CRX might even have a better handling, I suppose. The CRX is really lightweight, has a double-wishbone-suspension. The new CRZ only has conventional McPherson struts like most cars todays, as it's cheaper to produce.
Bolt some 195/50-15 tires under your CRX and you outbeat the CR-Z performancewise in every single aspect.

I'm sorry, but this car is just lost in translation. There is absolutely NO point to buying the CR-Z. It's economically inefficient, cramped, gets 4 mpg more than a 4 door civic which also has twice the space and more HP. This is all coming from a Honda fan. I've owned 3 Hondas with my current one being an RSX-S. Honda I'm sorry, but you've lost me as a future customer with the horrid lineup of cars you have available. The Civic Si is slow. Hondas 2010 + lineup ='s FAIL!

Cause i've heard it got 33mpg. Freakin broke my heart when i heard that. SHOOT i just might buy one now. I was like...33mpg? that's the same as my 2010 honda civic. sheesh.
Link me up where you got that info. I need to see that with my own eyes.
factionxvt408x 1 year ago 7
@factionxvt408x city mpg might very well be 33 with sports-mode on, but the official numbers on the japanese and german honda-homepages are: 39mpg city/47mpg average/54mpg highway in NORMAL-mode. economy-mode should give a bump of around 5. europe gets the cr-z in 2 month so expect a lot of information by then
(plus a lot depends on how you drive)
p.s.: people should stfu until they've at least test driven the car

KilluaXIII 1 year ago 13
NEVER trust the posted MPG´s they have on the windshield. My 2008 Honda 2 dr DXG can only manage 30mpg. I ALWAYS drive in nuetral down hill and never gun the gas but slowly build speed. with that I could only manage 30mpg. so this business of 54mpg is highly questionable. Even the Honda dealership I bought from told me that the rating is not based on anything near real world driving conditions. The crz sacrifices size to accomodate mediocre fuel economy.
Rata4You 1 year ago
@KilluaXIII I just bought one, drove my first 500km with an average fuel consumption of 43.5 mpg...pretty fine if you think that I crossed the Alps between Switzerland and Italy, therefore reaching 1600 metres above the sea level before going down again. This car is not for racing, the batteries run out too soon for that, but if driven properly it gives quite some pleasure for short sporty driving!

esca8652 1 year ago
@TRDBaron dude, you need neither tuning nor an ecu change. that's what the sports-mode is for! did you even check all the new functions? i mean enhanced engine response and 174NM from 1000rpm in a car that weights 1210kg with fuel AND driver. does that really sound weak?
KilluaXIII 1 year ago 24
@KilluaXIII You're right that 174NM from such a low rpm is good for this lightweight car but that initial torque doesn't tell the whole story. It's a bit like VTEC in reverse, lot of oomph off the line then power falling as you rev to redline. At the end of the day it does no better economy than the 2.2CDTi Civic and it performs much slower. Further you must also take into account once you've loaded it up with 4 adults and luggage the performance hit is even worse percent wise...

concerning the CR-Z i can say that it will be very special and impossible to understand as a car by just looking at numbers. i get the feeling that the test-drive will be a shocking experience
KilluaXIII 2 years ago 5
In all honesty, Japanese auto makers always know what they're doing. They know they're in a critical market right now and they can't lose it. It's gonna be fun to drive, most most likely and will give great fuel economy.
It will not however make the hard-core drivers happy, but I can really really predict an "SI" version of this car coming in maybe a year or two :)
Maybe they'll supercharge or turbocharge the hybrid engine (lol)
