i wonder if it is still worthwhile sharing opinion in this thread after all these bashing...

anyway, test drove the car, being a candidate together with the Polo 1.2 TSI to replace the boring MPV i drive to work day in & out. Main consideration is the price of 110k range that I can afford and fuel saving.

CR-Z definitely a nice looking car. I've come to like the design a lot. Interior looks good with a good strike of balance. Polo 1.2 TSI pales in the sense the dial is boring. The car gives a firm driving feel. while enough for city driving, it leaves people wanting more power from a supposed sporty hot-hatch like this. The sports mode's throttle respond, to me, feels a bit fake. You get the added throttle respond sound with more fuel fed in I guess, but the car doesn't accelerate as fast as it sounds =_=

anyway, generally I think there is some point to like the CR-Z with its current price point, practicallity aside. Of course I would have like it to be priced nearer to insight or maybe RM105k would be good. But if it wasn't for the hybrid with the tax cut, at a higher price point, I want my usual Honda Type R feed from this car! else its nothing but failure
