thanks guys. was looking for some initial info on the acceleration first. will try to head to Honda centres for test-drive if available

but thing it's manual right? gah so long no drive manual liao D:

just now i saw 2 fairly big guys struggling to come out from the seats but they look quite happy and laughing while doing so haha..

i'm guessing as long as the owner loves the car and have made the right choice..nothing else matters ^^

kudos to the one that designed the crz^^

You know what. Everything looks great with CRZ. but the only thing, it is not a sport car. I have an idea. Honda should consider to build a 1.8 DOHC CRZ TypeR Hybrid. With the current 3 functions. Econ, normal, and sport mode. Econ and normal mode works like the current insight or jazz hybrid. But when change to sport mode. The whole hybrid system stop and the engine roar with full typeR potential.

Damn this will be a fun car to drive.

went to the showroom and saw the new batches for CR-Z now comes with Bridgestone Potenza tires...are they better or worse than previously shod Yoko Advans?

How much would it cost to change the batteries?

Awaiting the Auto CVT Variant on coming June/July

Hi all,

I plan to get a Z, probably by end of year. However i'm not sure manual transmission or CVT is best for me. Let say, if i'm aggressive driver and always want strike to its limit, which one should i choose?

Does the new variant CVT also come with paddle shift?

Now, gear knob and paddle shift, which give more thirlling?

yes with paddle shift. well depends on where you stay la, like me im in penang so i have to choose the CVT one. the traffic will kill my right leg lol. have a look at CRZforum, there you can get multiple driving reviews. from what i have gathered, CVT has an advantage by fractions of seconds on the 0-100 but manual has the upperhand on lower rev acceleration. CVT gives you a slightly better FC compared to manual. Anyhow, its just a 1.5l car. Dont expect a GTi out of it

anyway to those who opt for the CVT one, if you had not booked yet, you will probably get your car only on September.

Waitng for the 1st batch of CVT to arr eta this June.

So far my average fc 17km/l with ron95 after 5k km millege, 50/50 highway and town drive, normal mode all the while

In sport mode easily go to 160km/h

When u use Normal Mode does it switch off the Air Con and engine when you stop at junctions or traffic lights.

Bro, ever think of getting 2nd or later batch? Usually 1st batch cars will have minor problems where the following batches will have it fixed and tweaked already...

Already sold long time ago in other countries.
Just here is 1st batch. So nothing much to worry about.

yes, only the aircon compressor off as it is drive by the engine, but the blower is still ON
unless there is hot sun and u dun hv tinted film and u stop for more than 3mins
else it should not be a problem
actually stopping the car with engine on waste a lot of petrol, that is y they have this feature

anyway, u can ON back the engine and aircon anytime by pressing the clutch pedal,
or if u already are pressing the clutch pedal and the engine gone off,
just engage into any gear then the engine will turn on back.

when the auto CRZ release?

Should be in June 2012 after checked with Honda SR.

Just ask KL Honda sales yesterday, tentatively early July will only get the CRZ EX, and expected another RM6-7k more..
So I decided jus go for Manual & also waiting its accessories (dam I must put a spoiler behind it).. Haha..
