anybody else disappointed in this slow "sports hybrid". 122 hp 128 torque. 31city/36highway with the six speed. most of the civics on here get that and arent hybrids.

yeah that car is a joke, most ex civics here get 38-40 highway, the hx gets 45+ and most get around 25-35 in the city. doesnt the regular hybrid civic even get around 115 hp? i dont see how this is such a big improvement.

The weak motor and 2800 lb weight killed it for me. I'll still test drive one when they come out hoping that a k swap comes out. With out the batteries how much do you think it would weigh?

yea gearbox lol most civics on here get crazy gas mileage stock and we still get good gas mileage when we drive our cars hard but i think honda is going downhill toyota is killing them in the hybrid game.

but lordhelmet without ima and then a kswap idk how much weight you would save because kswap does weigh more than a 1.5 so idk if you would lose much weight if any at all but you would be really quick and it would definetly be worth it. or maybe a k20 with ima that would be crazy. hopefully some tuner thinks of that and tries it when this car comes out

but you can get a crx or any civic and do a kswap if you wanted and you would be a beast so this car is a joke. idk how honda thought honda fans would find that sporty. i get better gas mileage and im sure i could keep paces with the new crz when it comes out.

I'm reserving my opinion on gas mileage until the car comes out and people can give real world results. The new EPA system rapes 4 bangers compared to the previous system and yet I get the same gas mileage on my civic as predicted by the previous system. I wouldn't be surprised if the CRZ sees mileage into the 40s.

I believe My Si weights only 100 pounds more than the CR-Z... Maybe I should forget the CR-Z?.

there are much better alternatives already on the market if you want a hybrid. or wait a few more yrs and go all electric.
