For This is a very appealing little coupe that’s both green and fun. It’s well equipped and reasonably priced, too.
Against This version of the CR-Z shares the same weaknesses as any other – it’s noisy at speed and the rear seats are useless.
This is our favourite version of the CR-Z – it’s packed with desirable kit, but it’s also affordable to buy and run.
The Honda CR-Z is the fun member of its hybrid family. Where the Civic hybrid and Insight are practical and sensible, the CR-Z is the opposite. It’s still green, but it’s a whole lot more exciting, from the edgy exterior, through to the futuristic cabin and its lively performance and handling. Although it’s not quite as clean as Honda’s other hybrids, CO2 emissions of 117g/km and an average of 56.5mpg keep running costs low.
For a well-made, sporty coupe with good performance, the CR-Z is comparatively cheap. Entry-level S versions aren’t short on kit, either, although we reckon it’s worth upgrading to Sport trim, which adds desirable features such as rear parking sensors, a USB port, an upgraded stereo, a leather-trimmed multi-function steering wheel and a couple of other cosmetic extras. GT trim is lavishly equipped, with the likes of leather upholstery, a panoramic glass roof, xenon headlights and heated front seats, but there’s a big price hike to match.I agree with all positive points made in other reviews and car costs next to nothing to run: £20/year road tax, £500 up front for four years main…
