Taking a Closer Look at the Honda CR-Z

Honda has made many advances in hybrid technology, allowing the company to produce not only more efficient engines for their usual hybrids, but also more impressive vehicles powered by alternative fuels. The all-new Honda CR-Z is an incredibly practical and fun hybrid vehicle that any driver would love.

Performance
The CR-Z is among the first hybrid vehicles built with both hybrid fuel efficiency and conventional performance in mind. This hybrid sports car produces plenty of power to propel its light frame, and features a finely tuned suspension for great handling.

Efficiency
Even with excellent performance capabilities, the Honda CR-Z’s four-cylinder engine and 100.8-volt electric motor provide an impressive 6 L/100 km. This efficiency can allow over 600 kilometers of fun driving between gas stops.

 Style
The 2011 Honda CR-Z features a bold and futuristic design. The unique overall image sets it apart from Honda’s line of conventionally fueled vehicles, while a streamlined body, low stance, and aggressive grille make it look ready for any road or track.

 Versatility
The hybrid technology used in the CR-Z’s powertrain offers great diving performance and functionality in many urban and suburban driving environments. Flexible passenger and cargo areas provide plenty of space for all your family members and luggage. 

Comfort
The CR-Z is a modern and technologically advanced vehicle. While some of this technology is designed for performance and efficiency, many great features were designed with the comfort and convenience of the driver and occupants in mind.

New or Used: Which Honda Buying Option is Right for You?

Purchasing a car involves a series of major decisions. The first decision you will probably make when shopping for your next Honda is whether to buy it new or used. There are benefits and drawbacks to both options, but in the end, the choice comes down to which option best suits your budget and driving preferences. Here is a brief comparison to help you decide whether to buy a new or pre-owned vehicle:

• Cost
  Perhaps the most influential factor in the new vs. used debate is the price of the car. New cars, for all their advantages, will cost far more initially than used vehicles. If price is your primary concern, then you will want to choose a pre-owned Honda.

• Options
  It’s nice to be able to pick the exact vehicle you want from a wide array of models. Beyond the option of which car to buy, new cars generally offer a selection of features, colors, and add-ons that you might not find in a used car.

• Value retention
  Most people will eventually sell their vehicles and upgrade at some time or another. A new car will only be worth a fraction of what you paid for it in a few short years, but a relatively new pre-owned car will be worth nearly the same after a couple more years.

•  Warranty
  Warranties are a great way to easily maintain a vehicle’s value and reliability without making huge expenditures. New cars are often covered by convenient manufacturer warranties, while used cars may not be. After a few years of daily driving, the used car may be the one that needs warranty-covered services.
