Vessel you can’t please them all. Despite having made lots of other friends and bagged awards there’s at least one publication that doesn’t quite think the Honda CR-Z hybrid quite cuts the cloth – in the US Consumer Reports‘ has carried out a test of four different fuel-efficient cars and the car was part of that test group.
Despite achieving a 35 mpg overall model and having a crisp manual transmission it seems the two-seat hybrid hatch scored too low for the publication to recommend it and the vehicle ended up as the lowest ranked of the four fuel-efficient cars on test for the January issue.
While CR said the car handled nimbly it wasn’t identical sporty otherwise – other points were that the ride is choppy visibility is lacking noise levels are high and on-limit handling can be tricky though the six-speed manual transmission and braking were plus points.
Meanwhile two of the other cars in the group the Ford Fiesta and Mazda2 fared very well both achieving ‘Very Good’ ratings; the rag said they are both merriment to drive and deliver impressive fuel economy. For the Fiesta its agile manipulation relatively quiet cabin and composed ride were high points.
