What about the CR-Z Mugen? Since it is a hybrid car, meaning it's an environment friendly and has fuel economy, it can save you money on the petrol. However, the performance level is similar to the Type-R; therefore it can run at 0-60mph around 7-9 seconds. There is a slight difference on time because it's a 1.5L engine car and it's hybrid as well.
Hybrid cars usually do not have a good performance level same to that of the Type-R models from Honda. This is what makes CR-Z Mugen unique. It combines a good performance level on driving plus fuel economy without having to harm the environment. That's already 3-in-1 type of car. You get a better deal out of MUGEN.
