CR-Z is Too Expensive? - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

Ludercrz · 03-16-2011, 06:33 AM

just saw this Google type advertisement about a bunch of cars and at the end it says none of us can afford these cars. out of all of those the CR-Z is the only one that actually IS affordable. i just thought it was a weird "ad" and thought i'd share.

Yeah that's odd...I found the CRZ quite inexpensive.

Not sure what the author was going for there by lumping it in with lambos and porsches.

After giving up on all the other cars at the end of the day what he really wants is a school bus? o_0

IMO the CRZ is one of the best values you can find in a new car.

I mean ... we're talking about one of the cheapest Hybrids on the market ... yet it's also one of the most fun to drive.

Then you start looking at all the cool features that are STANDARD in the BASE model ... feature you have to add to a lot of other cars.

I've felt like I got a great deal ever since I bought this car.
Throw in the Warranty, differences in financing rates, the fact that used cars seem overvalued atm, and that dealers right now are willing to cut you a real deal on the new inventory ...

It all comes together in a way that the CRZ actually makes most used stuff look like a bad deal.

Beside standard equipments, it is a very good looking design. Both inside and out. The dashboard looks like from an expensive car.

I'd pay a bit more for say an i-VTEC dohc variable valve 1.6L engine, with a high-efficiency cam for low rpms, and high-power cam for 6,000 to 8,000 rpm if desired in addition to the sport button for IMA assist at the bottom end. A much ignored return on cost per gallon for power, is engine design with premium fuel, where the old K20A engine has an 11.0 to 1 compression ratio. In other words, combine hi-tech hybrid technology with cutting-edge i-vtec dohc experience, not the old Honda Fit engine.

OMG
What you said, times one thousand
That is exactly what I would love to see
The only thing, for me, I don't agree with, I would pay a LOT MORE for that

I shopped around and the only other hybrid cheaper in price was the insight, plus it's sporty

These Honda CR-Z is a compact hybrid electric automobile manufactured by Honda and marketed as a "sport hybrid coupe." The CR-Z combines a hybrid gasoline-electric power-train with traditional sports car elements. CR-Z is the only gasoline-electric hybrid model offered by any automaker that can be equipped with a manual transmission. For some people, buying a brand spanking new car is a good option. They want to select the color and all of the features that go on it. There's definitely a pride of ownership and peace of mind in being a vehicle's first owner. But it will always need to think twice what you can afford and what will give you peace of mind. Just last week my cousin bought new these new car he lack in budget so he used these payday loan. It's very reliable and easy transaction. It help a lot to him.
