Wah, big difference bro...2 seater hatch vs 4 door sedan with boot.
Ride and handling definitely crz.

But since you want to compare power alone...
Pick-up from idle - crz
Low speed acceleration - crz
Mid to high speed acceleration - civic
*
I do beg to differ bro...

1.8 Civic has 177Nm and 2.0 188Nm of torque...

CRZ has 174Nm of torque that comes in from 1k rpm...

Well, specs on paper it wins...gotta try it in real life..any civic wanna do a 80-120km pull?

I Havent test out CRZ.. I just see all the review and video from youtube.. But i have tested the 2.0 civic.. really need your kind advise bro
Acceleration is better than civic 2.0? I like CRZ because of the sporty shape and hatchback..
Civic is just the power I needed 155hp.. Can mod this CRZ? Please advise bro.. Im not tok kok in here..
*
Well, I doubt they really allow a full test drive of the CRZ unless you go to Glenmarie..

To be honest, the CRZ will wack the 1.8 & 2.0 in terms of acceleration and it will top 200KM/H quite easily...

The CRZ can be modded provided you have the money to do so, I believe TOM'S is doing a promo now for the HKS supercharger kit RM17k approximately (can't remember Stage 1 (170PS+) or Stage 2 (200PS+)..

But on its own due to it being light, get the Takeda Chrome Intake and some minor mods on the exhaust you will get sufficient torque to outspeed a few cars on the road...

Remember, 174Nm comes in from 1000-1750 RPM for the CRZ smile.gif

sadly this is useless when you already on the move
anyone shift below 2k rpm?  sad.gif

but does this means if we are in a drag race we should start the car from 1k rpm?  hmm.gif
*
ermmm...dude...the CRZ does come with i-vtec remember...so anything above 3200-3300k vtec kicks in already...

ya...few crz owners does shift below 2k...i know i do when i don't feel like speeding...

As per Top Gear, I reckon best start drag at 3000rpm isn't it...in which, the i-vtec would have kicked in....

http://youtu.be/S7miv1zcqJg

See how the revs pull at 3000rpm...by the way, this fella started on Normal/Eco mode before switching to Sports mode (the glow turns red)...

How's the CRZ?? Care to share your opinions and feedback about the car?  icon_rolleyes.gif As I'm quite interested on the CVT but mum says its quite overpriced for a 1.5 Hybrid 3-door car.. But I love both the interior & exterior - so cool!!
*
Its actually quite true but the basis of a 2 door car is never really meant to be affordable in the Asian context (please do not put Satria into the equation) due to the price you pay and the amount of car you get...

Cars like this is also not meant to be driven in the long run hence with whatever amount of petrol you're saving since its a hybrid, you may not cover whatever losses incurred also for most owners...

If you are interested and its your money, I'm sure your mom cant say much as the decision is yours... smile.gif

If you really like the car, go get it but if you're contemplating, there are many more cars there is worth your 115k/119k...

I watched quite a few reviews on the CR-Z and most common opinion is, the car lacks of power and lacks of hybrid mileage. It's hanging in the middle! biggrin.gif

They also wish it either has 50bhp more or can get at least 40mpg. sweat.gif

CR-Z 2nd gen maybe!! laugh.gif
*
Well lacking of power and lacking of hybrid is a matter of perception...this car was marketed as a "sporty hybrid" not a "sport hybrid"...some of our car club members used to drive or are still driving more powerful sports car and they are also finding a little underpower...my take is that they have driven more powerful car before hence when they got in the CRZ they find it lacking...bare in mind, this is a 1.5l engine...

With my 80% urban spirited drive, I get around 500km++ easily using less than 35l of petrol easily...I get stuck at Shah Alam Toll and LDP every weekday...hence mileage also ok la...

Travelling from Cameron Highland a couple of weekends ago I hit up to 17km/l which is good though..doing roughly 120-140kmph..

Well, if you are to read more, you would know this car was built to be tuned, the modifications on the CRZ is almost endless and is fast being taken up all over the world for its cheap price so that it can be modded...in some articles that I've read, it comes in 2nd for car being modded after the VW GTi...

Hope the 3rd gen would not be coming after 11 years...btw CRZ is the 2nd gen, CRX was the 1st gen smile.gif

Haha thanks for the link biggrin.gif and the tip, i really appreciate it! The SA trying to sell me "original" Mugen bodykit for RM4.6k but "out of his own kindness" he said he was willing to give it to me at RM4k hahaha.

Thank you man!
*
The ori Mugen Kit fullset is above RM10k, inclusive of everything...one of the members in the CRZ club has this installed already, directly shipped in from Japan.. *if you ever come across a specially "colored" CRZ in Sunway, that is his...

Good time to talk to your SA and ask him why his "ogirinal" Mugen Kit only RM4.6k....btw, scout around you can find fullset for less than RM4k for a Mugen Kit...

Also, if you wanna "stand out" a lil', try not to get the Mugen...too many people have it already...Rexxstyling is launching their version of the AMS Terra soon...

I'm awaiting for them to launch the full Noblesse kit, their version of course...

tq

0-100 for Manual = long enough

0-100 for CVT = forever

hope this helps..also, do remember this is a hybrid... biggrin.gif

i dont think CRZ could do 0-100km/h in 8.3sec, if it really did, why didnt Honda mention this performance on their brochure? the figure should attract a lot of potential buyer if they saw it on the original HONDA CRZ brochure, right?
*
manufacturer claims and real world performance are different smile.gif

however, sometimes they just wanna under deliver so that they over deliver..hahahah

btw, its still not drilled in many people that CRZ is a "Sporty Hybrid" and not a "Sport Hybrid"...

Agreed !

i just doubted that how come that guy could did it in 8.3sec, that's all...

Well Dori-dori San is renowned to be super fast in gear changing...

Many things can affect 0-100km/h time if you wanna be anal...oil temp, weather, humidity, tyre temp, etc....

So things could be working their way during their 0-100...

hi bro,

happy to find this thread first of all..

i m currently driving a civic 2.0 8th gen and very interested in cr z.....

but i have a few concern here and hopefully u guys can help....

(*first of all i never test drive a unit b4 because all the 3 showroom do not have a test drive unit and no stock at the moment*)

1)i m currently driving a 2.0 (145hp) DOHC compare to 1.5(122hp)SOHC
-will it be very noticeable in speed recline-

2) 5 seater to 2 seater?

this 2 ques will be my main concern...

3) i would like to know the interior colour? is it black or white (referring to cvt model)

can u guys crz or non crz owner... pls advise...has been considering it for a week already...

is it worth the change?

many thanks in advance...and looking forward to hear from u guys..
*
nope not worth the change unless you're ready to make changes (owning a 2-door car has more cons than pro)...and yes it feels faster than the FD 2.0..

My wife own a FD 2.0s 8th generation , personally i love it very much in terms of power but in terms of fuel efficiency manage to get around 350 to 400 if lucky lah for a full tank of petrol ( Not happy ) unless long distance journey and u don't tekan ur VTEC POwer lah tongue.gif

Still keep the FD 2.0 for family driving purpose  and sell off myvi for CRZ .

You can test drive at global amity http://www.globalamity.com.my/ only this company keep AT and MT of CRZ for test driving purpose .

The back seat is not suitable for adult unless u are small adult , and the front passenger seat have to move a bit to front to enable the ppl at back seat to seat nicely

The interior for MT is black and the AT for Malaysia also black

It's a worth change if u take it as second car for joy driving :-) not for family purpose tongue.gif

QUOTE(pcmoddingmy @ Jul 16 2012, 11:30 AM)
Just test drive the CVT model with my friend (whom currently owns FD2) at Global Amity, Serdang last Friday. Confirmed interior is all black. My friend full throttle the car with 3 adults inside (me in the rear seats, a bit suffering thou.. hahaha).
Low rev acceleration (in Sports mode) is better than FD2 but mid to high-rev his FD2 is better. Note that his FD2 was modded with aftermarket headers, dropin filter, CF hood and bucket seats.

I believe stock 6MT CRZ should be on par with stock FD2, if not better.

IMHO, CRZ hybrid la...FD2 better...hahahah

cos worry too 'LALA'....kindly share opinion and no offense to owner with spoiler...

Bro, there are quite a few types of bodykit for CRZ already...maybe you should search around before getting the Mugen (IMHO its very common already as many opt to put this bodykit)...

SC for CRZ ranges from 12k-30k, 0-100 secepat mungkin (bro seriously this is a hybrid, if you're looking for outright performance then you're choosing the wrong car... btw, the Black HKS CRZ you see in Japan is actually a friend of one of the CRZ owners in Malaysia)

The HKS CRZ is already close to 400+ ps now so with proper modifications, definitely your engine can take it..

kalau nak beli CRZ, baik bro pergi showroom tengok boleh test drive tak...

By the way, heard there will be a convoy to Genting soon..do you guys wanna know more?

Speed lock not available right... but how about auto lock? I can't seem to get it to work, always have to manually lock the doors when driving.
One more thing about the seat belts, you must have super long arms to reach behind the seats to grab the belts. To make it easier, better recline to seats as it also helps to get in/out of the car much smoother. Maybe its just me thou...  doh.gif

Auto lock also tarak...
