What does it cost?
For The Honda CR-Z looks great inside and out, plus it’s fun to drive and every version comes well equipped. The hybrid system works smoothly and keeps running costs low.
Against There’s lots of road noise at speed and the ride is firm. The rear seats are very cramped and fuel economy isn’t as good as it is in some diesel rivals.
What Car? says
The Honda CR-Z is far from perfect, but it offers a desirable blend of futuristic styling, low running costs and driving fun.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
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.Reader test team says:
