      Technically the Prius did that since it started in the 90's, though different system.
      I'm guessing the ones in Honda hybrid is nicer than standard cars which still use the regular starter motor.

    I have a MK1 MR2 Super Charged *1988* with around 190bhp, 0-60 @5.5 seconds (with pulley mod), my daily driver/GF's car is a CR-Z GT and It's almost as fun for handling and has plenty of poke for daily driving around the city (it's not exactly sloooow in sport mode). Best of all is the whole package of reliability to handling to styling to the AWESOME interior that's just great to be in, the informative and sexy dashboard, the great sound system as standard (in the GT) and the relative practicality (for 2 people) treated as a 2 seater with a massive boot, low insurance/tax and very good fuel economy. Oh and the pearl white looks stunning in reality!

    People are too fixated on horsepower. What you want in regular daily traffic is torque.
    It's not a game of top trumps, what you want is a car that's suited to the kind of traffic you are going to face every day. What good does 500 hp do you if you're stuck behind a Fiat at the lights? The only thing you're going to get, is frustrated.
    If you want to race, get a track day car, public roads aren't FOR that.

    Guys regardless of this video, the CRZ is one of the best cars I have ever driven. It's incredibly hard to stall in this car while changing gears feel incredibly smooth and the performance with a bit of tweaks (200+hp) can easily give a Type R a run for its money. I give this car 4.5/5. Main issue in my experience is the blind spot. Hence why most CRZ owners reverse park.
