Love the styling, how does it drive with the petrol/electric combination?

I quite like the different driving modes and being able to dip in and out of eco/sport modes at the touch of a button. It still feels mostly like a petrol to me really, it's quite responsive so doesn't feel like other hybrids I've driven.

Oh and it's really miserable out so the car is a bit wet...... and it's dirty already!! But some of my own pics:

Thats pretty sexy!

What engine has it got? We've got the 2.2 Civic & its so much fun to drive (although I hear the sports suspension makes the back seats rather unpleasant!).

It's a 1.5 hybrid, it's not super fast but it's nippy enough for me

Joe 90 · 11-02-2012, 20:07

Yeah I bet its still fun to drive, and it'll be awesomely cheap to run!

I really really really like that!!!

How much room is there in the back?

Grandad · 12-02-2012, 12:31

I love it, reminds me of my old CRX MKII which was the favourite car I've had after the Mini, styling is great, if I didn't need a sodding great Dad mobile I'd be very tempted myself.

Do they do one with the 2.0L V-tech found in the Type-R?

Muban · 12-02-2012, 16:22

lol no the CR-Z is very much being aimed at those people that want a hybrid car but that is a bit more nippy. Really in the current climate most (non luxury) manufacturers are staying away from producing many cars that have beefier engines. It's a very small market these days.

It's not like it's a super slow car, it has the performance that most people realistically need these days. I can't remember the last time I really pushed the Prelude and took it for a good hoon. The CR-Z won't be as quick but then with petrol consumption getting close to half what I was using previously it's a compromise I can live with.

I'll have to get back to you on how much room there is in the back seat as I've not sat in it yet, the boot is a good size though.
