Honda CR-Z Sport (2012)
by Barry Green,reviewed June 2012
With its unique 3 Mode Drive System, Honda’s multi-dimensional CR-Z is equipped to deliver - at the push of a switch - the desired driving experience to suit the occasion.
Stuck in heavy traffic where you’re going nowhere fast and ‘Econ’ mode will help return optimum fuel economy. “Normal’ is fine for everyday driving and ‘Sport’ enlists the CR-Z’s electric motor’s assistance in helping propel the 1.5-litre conventional petrol engine along nicely.
Though a four seater, the rear is suitable only for children and rear three-quarter vision is not good. That said, Australia’s first sporty hybrid is a welcome addition to the market.
