Awww, I want a Honda to be the next car and i like the look of this CR-Z but it is slower than my Yaris...I want one quicker car before I buy something for economy, plus i think this is too new at the moment to be in my budget

Although it does look good !!!

Going by book figures the CR-Z is quicker than the Yaris. Though once you are around the 9-10 seconds mark I don't think speed is a main consideration anymore lol. Still, easy for me to say, I've done the quick car thing now I'm happy for an all rounder

How fast is the CR-Z?

I don't have a 1.3L Yaris

Muban · 12-02-2012, 17:22

Ahh fair enough, I didn't realise the Yaris came with a bigger engine. You learn something new every day

Yeah the CR-Z is probably just about a second slower to 60.

Main advantage over the Yaris is its not a Yaris, that and it looks great

I know! I really really love the look of the CR-Z, both inside and out, love it! Although my Yaris looks good!

I just wish it had the choice of a v-tech engine

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.

I agree, but then the CR-Z is a very nice looking car, and it wouldn't harm too much if they gave us an edition with a forced induction engine. Come on Honda, slap a turbo on that 1.5 and give us 180hp or so...

Alternatively....
