why not you go see it for yourself in the showroom?

and test drive it yourself? that might be better than a member tell you a thousand words?

All should be black color interior for local spec.

Yes, thts right, test drive it and feel it yourself then your decision...lol.

I can sense alot of doubts here. Haha, since my family members own both vehicle, maybe I can give an opinion or two.

1) First of all, Civic 2.0 has 155ps, not 145. It might have a slightly higher torque than CR-Z but also heavier in weight. I think around 80kg and more. For pick up CR-Z will win due to its lighter-weight and aerodynamic body shape, and also assistance from IMA (that is, if it's charged and run on Sport mode). But when it comes to mid-high acceleration Civic still win. And more stable too.

2) 5 seater or 2 seater? Well, just imagine this scenario: You have 5 family members, do you prefer to drive 2 CR-Z out for dinner (with 1 guy suffering from the tight seat) or just 1 Civic with all members on board? Do bear in mind that no matter how fuel-efficiency CR-Z is, it still doesn't beat 2 trips of fuel consumption.

3) Interior wise, CR-Z also adapted the futuristic design like Civic and Insight, with the digital display and stuffs. The seats are tight, might be tiring for long journey compare to Civic's comfy seats.

Change from Civic to CR-Z might not be considered as downgrade in terms of pricing and technology features, but you get a smaller car with smaller engine capacity, smaller seats (minus rear passenger seats too), smaller fuel tank, and small presence. 

Better go test drive before regret! Try the Glenmarie Honda, I tested over there before.

Hehe... getting CRZ requires some stubbornness and blindness in thinking. Doing compare will end up buy nothing..
