Compare with WV Polo? LOL....the current polo for malaysia market is the lowest spec,there's no fog lamp and no chrome garnish as in the brochure...look at the real car and its is UGLY. The interior is soooo boring and dull and if u tot it has good built quality think again,those buttons and clicks aren't that high end,nuff said....well of coz its better than most japs car... And its a different category too,if want to compare,bring up another 2 door,then we talking...Dun say those add 10k get this add 10k get that rubbish...who doesn't know

if you wanna learn on CR-Z and the engine here is the source
http://asia.vtec.net/Engines/CR-Z/index.html

it is actually a VTEC 12-16 valve switch operation where low RPM one of the valve is de-activated
then you say this is OLD vtec.. haha Harlow!!! since when VTEC got NEW and OLD

VTEC stand for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) this is technology and what T brand have is a VTEC without Lift technology... and the i so called Intelligent is actually in Honda stand for Electronic Control...

now in i-VTEC honda the i is actually ECU VTEC switching instead if Hydraulic pressure switching. but in This CR-Z case the i stand for Engine fuel cut off operation where the engine can turn it self off similar to Honda Accord 3.5l i-VTEC VCM operation

and this CR-Z engine is actually the improve version of L15A VTEC engine....

Another article that show how CR-Z ivtec come into play

now be a good boy go home and do your HOMEWORK before you post another stu*id comment!!!

Of course a Polo will eat the CR-Z for breakfast. But if you're driving to downtown KL at peak hours, with 1/8 of a tank left, the CR-Z will leave you in the dust once you run out of petrol.

It's a hybrid. They try to market it as a sports car, but in the end, it's still a hybrid, and has to live with the limitations of a hybrid (weight, power, etc.). Doesn't mean it has no purpose though, it's just slow. Will be economical to run when it comes to petrol. That's about it...

clearly this forum is filled with either people lack of technical knowledge on cars or fanboys. All statements found here are clearly pure biases, with reinforcements of their own commitment after reading like 1 or 2 articles. lol.

the fact that 9.5/10 people commenting here has NOT even tested drive the CRZ, and purely making arguements based on their own preference. Stop regurtitating stuffs from other fellow forumers and apply elsewhere. Baseless facts. I do not own a CRZ neither do i support it. But the price tag is on the high side, but we cant conclude from it that its underpowered. if so why not install a turbo on ur kancil and call it overpower since its cost will be cheaper than a CRZ? Price factors includes many aspects, from aestatics, interior, marketability etc etc, and not just simple plain 0-100 all the time. typical malaysian minded ppl lol

Bro this car come with 6 AIRBAG!!! (if i'm not mistaken)
it have VSA, ABS, EBD, Hill Assist etc etc.... alot of mumbo jumbo... even the Airbag is OPDS and 2 Stage Airbag!!

yes like all newer cars the disc is the new type... it has a mixture of carbon and ceramics which improve breaking performance but will have greater wear on it... manufacturer dont use the old type of Steel Disc Rotor anymore... so yeah you need to replace the Disc rotor more often compare to Wira type which no need to replace one hahaha too bad but for added breaking force some thing must sacrifice...

If your friends know nothing about cars and laboriously unplug their telly each night instead of leaving it on standby, they'll think you're cool. But do such folk have any real concept of cool? And if they did, would they admit to it? Maybe gadget-fiend mates would be impressed by the flashing lights of the Honda's dash.

Popcorn habis... Show seems to go on forever... One word of advice to calvin, pip, evo and those who love to argue on the net ... I love this quote btw... Here it goes.. No offense to those who are physically challenged though... ' arguing on the net is like winning the paraLympic... Even if u win, u are still retarded' happy new year all... Lol

even if i'm not driving one now, when ppl lansi cucuk me, i usually just step on the brakes.

Im sure hybrid WHICH ON PAR WITH 2.0 dvvt is not slow

Didn't they know when banged from behind it may cause their car to skid into the opposite lane where a lorry might hit them...  

You still dont get the point...

People are willing to pay millions for things they like...

so the argument... if CRZ worth it???

then the answer is... DO YOU LIKE IT!!!

What have torque gotta do with topspeed?!

Oh ya... this is the same sor hai that claims new brakes in our sedan car is a blend of carbon + ceramic therefore easier to warp due to ABS's constant pulsing 

Test both insight n Prius also the ct200h...  When the sport mode engage, there is no way insight can match the Prius or ct200h....  Didn't own any of them...
