subject: Honda Cr-z Remains One Of The Best Values In America [print this page] If you want the entire package - sporty, fuel efficient and affordable you need to check out the 2011 Honda CR-Z. The staff at your Honda dealership in Milpitas would be glad to take you for a test drive and show you the finer points of one of Hondas most popular models.
Honda has a reputation for quality engineering and most of its models have a very strong resale value. Those are some of the characteristics used to choose the Best Car for the Money. Better quality than the outgoing model, lower cost than the previous model, higher performance and value, better handling and sleeker style are some other determining factors. Your Honda dealership has some models that meet many of these criteria.
Hybrids are one of the most popular breed of cars on the market right now, but some have had to sacrifices space and the enjoyment factor in order to meet the fuel savings level they achieve. Perhaps this is what has given hybrids a rather tenuous reputation. Their owners love them, but they are the butt of jokes to many of the rest of us. (I must admit I have been guilty of stereotyping hybrid owners and not always being respectful of the cars fuel savings capabilities.)
One hybrid vehicle that breaks that mold, though, is the Honda CR-Z, which only has a bit of that hybrid car look. One area where the CR-Z refuses to sacrifice is the fun factor. It is a fun drive, simply - not something a lot of hybrids can list on their resumes.
Customers of Honda dealerships in Milpitas who havent had the chance to test drive this anomaly of the hybrid world need to check it out. Although it does look rather like something out of a futuristic film (think Back to the Future, not Avatar), it works. The body style is sleek and unique without being cheesy or too over-the-top.
Even though it doesnt have the space some might desire (it seats two), the Honda CR-Z does have handling you will enjoy in heavy traffic or on a remote mountain road. Its the perfect vehicle for shuttling around town or commuting to work.
Your Honda dealership says buyers are very impressed with such great fuel economy from such a sporty vehicle. CR-Zs 1.5-liter four-cylinder pairs with a 13-horsepower electric motor to make the most of your fuel dollar. This crossover is no slouch when it comes to acceleration either. CR-Z can go zero to 60 mph in about nine seconds. Not bad for a hybrid.
The best news is CR-Z is available at your Honda dealer now and with a base price of $20,000 its not a vehicle that will force you to a mac and cheese diet just to make the payments.
