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...

So uh..., to add fuel to the fire...

Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TSI 1/4 Mile ET: 17.5, assuming flywheel horsepower = 103.563HP and curb weight = 2482lbs

Honda CR-Z 1/4 Mile ET: *17.26*, assuming flywheel horsepower = 122.303HP and curb weight = 2720lbs

I wouldn't say the CR-Z smokes the Polo, but it IS faster over 1/4 of a mile. Mathematically, the CR-Z will walk the Polo.
