The Heir To The CRX: The 2011 Honda CR-Z
Seeking a reliable Used Honda CR-Z Houston buyers have found a friend at Russell & Smith Honda Dealer Texas. Plus, with a wide selection of New Car Houston buyers know that Russell & Smith Honda can’t be beat.
After initial scrutiny, Hybrids have gained a foothold in the automotive market because of outstanding gas mileage and surprising reliability. Obviously some of this market was created by climbing gas costs and tighter household budgets. However, the complaint about Hybrids was that the entire concept left a big segment of the auto market unsatisfied: Racing enthusiasts. Yes, getting fifty Miles per Gallon is all well and good but not if it leads to poking along the road in an underpowered, lightweight, average-looking glorified golf cart.
Honda has changed all that with the unveiling of the 2010 Honda CR-Z. Touted as the world’s first Sport Hybrid, this head-turning sports car delivers the excellent fuel economy of most competing hybrids with performance inspired by Honda’s Racing Legacy. In short the CR-Z is S2000 meets Accord Hybrid.
The Honda CR-Z gets 31 Miles per Gallon (city) and 37 MPG on the highway. Drivers can use a futuristic-looking 3-way switch that enables the driver to choose between Normal, Sport, and Econ. Switching between modes not only alters the behavior of the gas/electric drivetrain but also impacts steering response and accessory power usage.
Horsepower numbers don’t do the CR-Z justice because there is no way to describe the extra pep that the electric motor provides. Full power is available on demand without engine lag weather on the highway or stopped at a red light making the acceleration of this car unparalleled. It’s a hoot to drive, also; the Sport Hybird come with the choice of a 6-speed manual shifter or an automatic transmission with race-inspired paddle shifters.
All Honda CR-Z come with power windows with auto-up/down driver’s window, driver’s illuminated window switch, illuminated steering wheel-mounted MID and audio controls, three beverage holders, 12-volt power outlet, driver’s seat with manual height adjustment, ambient console lighting, MP3/auxiliary input jack and the IMA charge and assist indicator. On the outside the CR-Z has 16″ alloy wheels, fin-type roof-mounted antenna, mirrors with integrated turn indicators, rear window wiper/washer and LED brake lights
The CR-Z is priced to move. A nicely equipped CR-Z is only at $19,200 and the top of the line EX model has an MSRP at $20,760. Even with Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel and Shift Knob, Fog Lights, and the Premium 7-speaker Audio System with Bluetooth a fully-loaded CR-Z is still less than $25,000 and that doesn’t even count the money you save at the gas pump.
The CR-Z continues a long tradition of sporty two-seat coupes from Honda. In 1984 Honda introduced the Civic CRX. Light and nimble, the CRX quickly established itself within the enthusiast community. The combination of its high quality and excellent driving dynamics led Motor Trend to name the 1984 CRX as its Import Car of the Year. In 1985, a high-efficiency HF model and the fuel-injected Si model were added to the CRX lineup. The 1988 model year brought an all-new CRX to the marketplace. The new smoothed-out lines felt significantly more upscale and the split rear window became a trademark feature. With its longer wheelbase and wider track, the CRX handled better than ever and was snatched up by driving enthusiasts, some of whom added their own personal touches, making the CRX one of the first cars to inspire the import aftermarket scene.
