2012 Honda CR-Z Test Drive & Hybrid Car Review

http://www.autobytel.com/honda/cr-z/2012/ The 2012 Honda CR-Z hybrid was created with the hopes of recreating the small, fun, and fuel efficient CR-X from 20 years ago. Well that passion has been revived with the CR-Z. Honda designers have created the sportiest looking hybrid on the market. Everything from the bumper to the headlights to the rims screams look at me. And the overall wedge shape makes for one low drag coefficient.

Even though the CR-Z looks sporty, it tows the line between sporty and fuel efficient. Underneath the hood is a 1.5 liter 4-cylinder engine with an IMA electric motor that helps boost power to 122 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy is great at 35 MPG in the city and 39 MPG on the highway.

The 2012 Honda CR-Z has a base price of under $20,000. And with that you get all kinds of cool hybrid technology from Honda.

This car is a fail. Only way this turns into a must have is 50+ mpg 0-60 under 6 sec or a severe drop in price. $25k? Try $15k as is. I wanted to get one then went to the dealership and saw the pricetag. Dealer thought they had a winner. It took them so long to sell the 3 they had they said they arent ordering anymore cuz they dont sell.

Agreed. If the buyer just has to have a Honda, they can easily opt for a more sporty Civic Si or a more environmentally conscious Insight for not too much more. Both have the advantage of 2 seats in the back as well. I guess this is a bit of a compromise for those who just can't decide.
