THE HONDA CR-Z IS ONE OF THE COOLEST HYBRID CARS EVER

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro reviews the 2013 Honda CR-Z, highlighting its unique position as a hybrid with a manual transmission. He praises the CR-Z's distinctive styling, surprisingly practical cargo area (dubbed 'phantom seats'), and the engaging driving experience, particularly with the Sport+ mode and the rare manual gearbox in a hybrid. However, DeMuro notes the hybrid powertrain's modest performance, the somewhat quirky interior controls, and the CR-Z's ultimate lack of market success. Despite its flaws, the CR-Z is presented as a cool and unusual hybrid that stands out from the typical eco-focused offerings, making it a compelling, albeit niche, choice for enthusiasts.
