Just got my CR-Z about 2 months ago, same year, same color (though a base trim), can say I'm loving this funky little hybrid. It's fuel efficient, easy to daily, but also a blast to chuck around twisties on my way around town.
As for all out versions, the CR-Z is one of the few Hondas to get a Mugen production car model, with a supercharger, just not in the US. What we did get, though, were HPD parts that could be installed at Honda dealerships and wouldn't void your warranty, also including a supercharger, which bumped the car up to around 200hp.
I am loving mine too
That's amazing! Sounds like a fun and efficient daily driver. I wish I could get this now.
@@cyanofelisI just got a 2011 ex 6 speed with only 47,000 miles :) it's honestly the best daily driver I think ever made. It's short steering ratio, amazing 6 speed, very low center of gravity and short wheel base dimensions all make the handing so freaking good. It's not fast at all, it's somewhat (relatively) quick, but the handing make it so good to drive
You say you wish there was a Type R... but the chassis is as rigid as the Civic Type R and you could get a factory installed supercharger on the later years. Paired with some coilovers and sticky tires and you would have something much better than a Civic Type R.
The Honda Insight was also offered with a manual in its first generation, along with the Honda Civic hybrid in the mid 2000s.
I had a 1st gen Insight. Loved mine with the 5 speed.
I own a 2013 CRZ. Absolutely love it!!
One thing you need to keep in mind is that being a car designed and developed almost a decade ago, it was definitely ahead of its time.
@@hunterrrdrives Hey. At least for me. I would say 'Yes'. It's a perfect commute car and meanwhile not at expense of loosing its sporty feeling.
@@hunterrrdrives a car with 60mpg? Of course its a great first car
@@hunterrrdrives I would recommend getting one. Get fun to drive & yep ok not super fast. But it puts a smile on your face. I love driving my misses CR-Z, which she has had for 3 years. So much so, I have purchased a CR-Z Mugen RZ from Japan. Only 300 made. Can't wait to take it for a spin🤩🤩😜
@@danielzimmerman7587it's only about 45 mph gallon in the United States
I’ve daily driven mine for three years, and it has always been fun and reliable. It makes me think of a jet fighter too lol. Great video
I know your post is old but curious about someone's opinion on who daily-ed one. I am thinking of getting a manual transmission one for running around town and occasionally 300 mile trips to Houston to save gas. I know it wouldn't be a Buick, but how are they out on the highway? Can they cruise ok at 75?
I always wanted one of these. One with a K swap would be gnarly
Or a J swap would be wicked!
It was designed to fit a K series but for whatever reason never got it.
Yea the K swaps on these are cool, I have heard they are mad difficult though
This will be my first car, I‘m telling you!
@@danielzimmerman7587 they aren't difficult at all. The entire front subframe and everything from a 10th gen Civic with a K20 will bolt into the front of a CRZ.
After 6 years the only thing I hate is the acceleration especially when getting on the highway
This thing is pretty rad I’m looking for a hybrid daily and this is on my radar now
Dude I enjoyed your video... you're hilarious, you have a few memorable quotes in here, love the snow effects 😄 and you're a beast for rocking a t-shirt in 20 something degrees! 👏🏼
My crz got totaled, i loved it so much i bought a second one!
I really want one of these as a daily it seems like it would be fantastic. Most of my commute is highway so it would save me a lot of money too
I have honestly wanted one since I saw the Spoon race crz. Its pretty sick imo.
I like your choice to use rockabilly for the montages. Try to get your hands on a 2016 EX: It has more power and is greatly up-contented.
Other hybrids with manual transmissions: 7th generation Civic Hybrid (5 speed), 1st generation Honda Insight (5 speed).
RWD Hondas in addition to Acura NSX: s360, s500, s600, s660, s800, s2000, t360, Acty, Street, Beat, Vamos....AND pretty much EVERY motorcycle and trike they've ever made, countless different models and variants. Honda made more RWD vehicles than FWD and AWD...
I actually purchased this car it's getting supercharged now
Recently acquired an 84 crx. Now looking to replace the wife's GTI with one of these for in town daily duties.
FYI if any you guys didn’t know this car has same chassis as FN2 Honda civic Type R , reason why it handles and corners extremely well. I used own 2015 Honda crz and was honestly surprised on it handling! Only thing that disappointed me in some aspects but not bad at all either , I just really hate that it shuts off when put in neutral , so annoying . But otherwise fantastic as is. Clearly not what enthusiasts wanted , but I plan buy this car again and K20z3 swap it ( was originally intended to be with K20 ; which they fucked up not doing but whatever , damage has already been done) this is def the most sleeper Honda Manual car I think and again I’m buy it again very soon. Get great gas mileage even if many say otherwise. I daily my Toyota 86 in Manual of course , that car can only use 91 and up , these cars 87 all day. That’s efficient as hell in my book.
Fantastic review btw ! love to see somebody give it some shine ✨☝️🫡🤝💎
for real ? same Chassis as FN2 ?
@@alchemist2048 Yes that a FACT. it EURO Civic TYPE R , ugly as hell but has amazing chasis, so handling shows for it.
Saw one of these with like a 30-35% tint. looks great on the street
I believe Honda is the only auto manufacturer that has made a manual hybrid and they should bring the option back
In the UK they have 4 seats which makes it a great option for work/commuting. How are they are high miles though?
would you compare the power/feel similar to say a d series honda engine?
My biggest two complaints of the CR-Z are the lack of power and the fact that the A/C doesn't work with the engine off. I think it'd be awesome if the electric motor was a bit more powerful (it's only 20hp in later models, 15 in early ones), and it drove the rear wheels. It'd allow for an EV mode like many other hybrids, and it'd make the CR-Z an AWD sporty hybrid.
always driven manuals. looking at one of these next in a manual to save gas. but they are hard to find in manual
Wow, our old 2007 1.8 gas manual Civic claims 45-50 mpg on the dash. So 35 doesn't seem great for a modern gas hybrid.
...oh and btw, love the wheels!
How close can one get to a Formula One car in a daily? An all-wheel drive 4 cylinder Honda with KERS tech and an active rear wing is what I see when I look at this car.
Love it!
That would be a good daily
i have a 2011 automatic crz and im curious if i can manual swap it?
10/10 for personality from the guy I feel like his friend lmao
My brand new Hyundai i30 is a hybrid 6 speed. It's also quite fast. It has a 160ps turbo petrol and a 17ps ISG.
So you are telling me i can manual swap my civic 2012 hybrid ?
I have one of those except it does not have manual transmission.
The Og insight had a 5 speed manual. Only other manual hybrid i know of.
2004-2005 Honda Civic hybrid manual
2000 honda insite had a 5 speed manual option
145k ! Car looks in great condition for the mileage
Agreed! Imagine RWD
Honda used to have Civic Hybrid manual, we sold one before.
I would only buy a hybrid if it has manual transmission! I hope toyota makes one corolla hybrid manual too.
They won't make them. The reason why this is the only hybrid is because this hybrid system is very different. While most hybrid systems use a planetary gear set which is much more efficient, this hybrid is less efficient and was more for the extra power. It's just an electric motor literally bolted directly to the crankshaft, which means that it's impossible to drive on the electric alone like you can with other toyotas.
@@pilotavery : I am sure if they took as much time, energy and money into developing the manual hybrids, as they put into design and fuel efficiency for standard and all electric vehicles, they could come up with a better solution for manual hybrids.
@@vanessaouyang1220 manual hybrids just don't make any sense, that's all. Like, you don't need a stick shift for an electric motor. And the existing solutions all suck because for a manual to work, it has to have a spinning clutch, so you need an engine coupled to a motor directly.
There's just no way to do it.
Unless it's just a toy, because it's more efficient to not have any gears, so you'd just make the manual stick and clutch just control how much power you get and play sounds through the speaker.
It just... Doesn't make any sense.
And I actually OWN a Honda CR-Z. It doesn't get better fuel efficiency than the Non-hybrid.
@@vanessaouyang1220 I actually own a manual hybrid. But they don't make sense, because they don't get better fuel efficiency, because if you have gears in the first place, you can't have a manual because you can't pick what is running and what's not
Dont have a rear spoiler lip ...its cool looking
I always loved the concept of these, but the implementation left much to be desired. I think if you would take this concept and modernize it as a plug-in hybrid with more power where you start to get the benefits of electric torque, that you would have a fantastic car.
plug ins are a hoax
Does the CRZ only come in manual or does it also come with a automatic transmission ?
Both
3:25 NSX and S2000
It’s got that small section of glass back window like its long-ago predecessor, the CR-X. The Prius copied that. The taillights are a nod to one of the Prelude generations.
Isn't the Honda Insight a hybrid manual?
The speed is a projection you could've also ordered it with a supercharger
I put 170k miles on it already I comute to chicago daily
If they had just 50 more hp in the gas engine then this would be fun
instead now were getting full ev, hope the new miata will take this to the next level
If they dont make it anymore ...does mine get up or down in value
Imagine if Mazda did a rotary hybrid 🤔
Don’t look now, an apex seal is on its way out 👀
@@Kofi_Mensahs_BurnerAccount lol
Electric dorito
@@amendozaproduction nah
@@amendozaproduction more like the rotary still gas powered and the electric motor to help with torque
It's not really a proper hybrid because you can't drive it in fully electric mode. It's a petrol car with electric assistance - like KERS.
theyre called mild hyrid and they make more sense as they dont add a ton of extra weight for bigger batteries as full and play in hyrids do
Here's another 2011! th-cam.com/users/shortsbsNtI3TbOZo?feature=share
The s2000 is also rwd
The only way to get car guys into hybrids, honda is always 20 years ahead of everybody.
I don’t get why it’s so bad on gas. It’s a little car with no power. The fit is more fun to drive and more useful.
But they're totally gutless right? What's a good used EV/hybrid "on a budget" that has got some balls?
You know, it's sad that I know Toyota of Naperville better than I know Fort Myers Toyota.lol
I think it’s the girth of ya not the length
Type R transmission
Damn no Bluetooth 😭
The CR-X's uncool cousin.
To dudes
You have no idea of cars... anyway...
