cr-z anyone?
 

what you guys think about the cr-z im thinking about getting one. whats the ups an down..?

Not as efficient or practical as a Prius and not as sporty as a sports car. You should read some reviews on the thing at the very least if you're thinking about buying one. From everything I've seen/read, it seems like it's just a huge disappointment. Honda called it the CRX successor, and it turned out to be nothing like the CRX at all, which was lightweight, cheap, and fun.

I think just about everyone agrees that what it really needs is a K20. They are coming out with another version that is turbocharged, which might things more interesting. Really though, even the suspension wasn't sporty enough stock.

I mean it's a personal thing, if you like it then you should definitely get it. But personally I find it to be just like the X6. It basically takes the cons of two types of cars and puts them in one car, but none of the pros. Like in the X6, you get the practicality of a sedan, except it drives like an SUV; worse of both worlds really. Then with the CR-Z, you only get two seats like a sports car, but lose the sports car engine, and instead you get a hybrid engine, so it's weak, except still not as efficient as other hybrids.

Kinda like a better looking smart car...But safer, somewhat.

Thinking of getting one to daily...

What's up w/the battery replacement, tho!?? I think its $5-$10k!! :o

Not for me. I don't want a 2 seater that's a hybrid.

Top gear bbc did a test on the crz where they drove it through the streets of San Francisco and had nothing but bad things to say about it. Not good gas mileage, not fast, and not cheap. But all that being said i just saw that top gear is being sued for making up alot of bad things about the tesla and are currently being sued for it.

drive it. if you like it enough to pay a 20k or whatebver it costs, then go for it.

ultimately it's your money and you are the one who has to deal with it.

that said, it pretty much got panned by critics. i expect there to be significant changes to the car very soon. i would wait till some more concrete info comes out.
