Car Reviews 2026 Honda Cr

Recent news from England’s Autocar magazine suggests that Honda is considering the notion of offering a performance variant of the just released 2011 Honda CR-Z in the near future. They are currently developing an all-new 1.6 liter turbocharged engine that would slide neatly under the hood of the svelte and sexy CR-Z coupe. This motor is also set for use in the Accord and Civic and will offer up either 160 horsepower in a possible CR-Z Si trim or 200 horsepower possibly as a CR-Z Type R. This has, of course, not been confirmed nor denied by Honda but would make a logical addition to the CR-Z lineup. To be honest, there is a desire out there for more powerful versions of the CR-Z although we can only prove that subjectively given the number of comments we received from complete strangers in parking lots. On a recent Saturday afternoon we were stopped four times as we were entering our 2011 CR-Z and half of those people asked when Honda was going to release a non-hybrid model. So while we had plenty of fun driving our six-speed manual transmission equipped hybrid CR-Z, we could easily see that the chassis could handle a lot more power. Actually, it sort of cries out for it given how many giggles we got out of taking corners in this itsy-bitsy two-seater around tight corners. The steering is also simply divine in the manner in which it carves tight apexes as sharply as the Ginsu knives of old. Admittedly, you do have to wring the neck of the current 1.5 liter 4-cylinder hybrid powertrain to get the most out of the CR-Z but given how pleasurable it is to use the six-speed manual that is no bad thing. Power readings from the electric/gas motor are 122 horsepower and 128 lb. feet of torque so it’s no surprise the 2011 CR-Z returns 0-60 times in the 9 second range. However, from stop lights and in around town traffic this little Honda has no trouble keeping up with the cut and thrust of daily commutes. In fact, the 2011 Honda CR-Z’s hidden talent is that it makes an ideal long distance cruiser. We took our CR-Z on a long weekend road trip to San Diego and were amazed by how smoothly it rode on the freeway given its minute dimensions. Engine, tire and wind noise were also easily drowned out by the 360-watt 7-speaker audio system which also featured a neat subwoofer built into the back of the surprisingly spacious 25.1 cubic foot cargo area. The only problem with the CR-Z is that it is so small and low to the ground that drivers of giant SUVs can’t Category:Home › Other • Pomegranates: A newly discovered superfood • Where did the joke why did the chicken cross the road come from and why is it funny? • Can mothers diagnosed with bipolar disorder make good parents? • Spiritual evolution of human consciousness • Tips for getting a college basketball scholarship • Living with Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) • Caring for the caregiver • Technologys impact on society
