Haha..0kmph ??

yes... at standstill.... me sitting in my own car... i syiok sendiri sudah cukup winrar.

actually i feel this car looks better than the veloster

does anyone find problem with the rear visibility of the car?

Nope, gotten used to it

same here. nope, got used to it already...
just remember to use your signal... just in case.

thanks for the replies... trying to decide between MT vs CVT... tested CVT... the response was very satisfactory... will try out the manual another day.. the car was not available @ the time i was there.
How does the clutch feels ? is it easy to use? not sure if it gets tiring in a jam.
when jam, does the car turn totally off? aircon and everything? can we turn off the start stop feature?

MT or CVT.... personal preference. but if you are always on a spirited drive... i would recommend the MT. Clutch doesnt feel that heavy anyway.

the auto start kicks in depending on the engine load. if you do not want it to stop during traffic jams, you can turn the air conditioning colder. that would prevent the car to go into auto-stop. other than that... if not mistaken pivot has a device to do just the job.

Like Naka7a and ExCrIpT, I've gotten used to it so no issue there. What I noticed about visibility is:
- The beam between the top and bottom screen blocks the view, normally of cars that are about 150m away. No big issue anyway.
- During rain, the bottom screen is covered with water droplets. Got used to it but wished that it had a wiper there too!
- My issue is with diagonal parking bays (those / / /). You can't see when reversing out because of the C-beam. I purposely try to avoid these bays.

I'm speaking from CVT perspective (in Normal mode) but the CRZ got some certain criteria to meet in order to turn off. Your aircon, radio, etc will still on but if they are, the autostop time period is shorter. For example, I stopped at a traffic light earlier and I turned my aircon and radio off manually. However, I had an ionizer in the 12V port and the car re-started after just 10 secs in auto-stop even though I'm not moving.

Also, in a jam condition where you are doing stop-start movement, the auto-stop will not kick in all the time you stop.

No problem for me, Gotten used to it

It will still be tiring even if the clutch is light especially in a heavy jam so u gotta consider whether u can handle it or not. Otherwise it's gonna be fun. Cvt has better mileage then mt as reported by Japan by 2 km per liter and that's what made me choose cvt over mt.
During autostop the air con fan speed will be lower, it will not be as cold as when the engine is running but it's not totally shut off

Gotta keep in mind that using free gear to roll is not advisable as it won't charge the battery.

I am guessing that this start stop thingy does not shorten the lifespan of the engine.

Hey bro, so you drive to cyberjaya often? Let's have a small TT at Cyberjaya, we have a few Z owners here too. PM me your contact and if you have whatsapp, I can add you in the Cyber Z group. Cheers

I'm sure Honda did consider all the posibilities before implementing this Start/Stop feature. So yea, Nothing to worry
