Re: The New CRX (2011 CRZ)

16/23mpg, 300hp, $46,000, 4410-4452 lbs. Don't know where you got the idea that it's hybrid, the link you provided doesn't indicate that, nor does its FE.

For comparison, the Camaro: 17/28mpg,...

Re: The New CRX (2011 CRZ)

If econ uses taller ratios that normal and sport don't use then it could certainly change the results.

As far as pressing the pedal is concerned, remember...it's drive by wire, so if they've...

Re: The New CRX (2011 CRZ)

I had to go look at the web site to see what was up with "7th gear". The site says the CVT offers "more ratios". I guess it's not setup with the infinite variability capability of CVTs; like so many...

Re: The New CRX (2011 CRZ)

Any guesses why they did that?

How about the 6 speed manual? How are its ratings?

Re: The New CRX (2011 CRZ)

Drum brakes are fine. They're not as pretty and marketable as discs but Insight buyers won't notice. They have their advantages.

Would the 4 lug wheels mean that wheels from old Hondas fit, making...

Re: The New CRX (2011 CRZ)

It is a combination of ever increasing safety and emissions regulations, expectations from reviewers, expectations from consumers of durability/longevity, competition for horsepower, on-road...

If ESC is the only thing stopping you from looking at newer cars, it's easy enough to disable. Also, you don't need to go so far back to mid-90s; 2008 was when the law first started taking effect,...

Stability control is more about band-aiding the inherent instability of narrow, tall SUVs being driven like cars than it is about making driving easier.

I don't care either way about it as long as...

I was comparing it to its rating with a manual transmission...there is no traditional automatic available with it.

:facepalm: How did I read right past the EPA estimates?

Those numbers make it the most efficient non-hybrid gasoline powered vehicle on the market. I don't see why you guys are sneering.

You're getting the point just fine (even if that was sarcasm).
