The transmission of choice for efficiency.

While a lot of attention has been paid to the fact that the CR-Z comes with a 6-speed manual transmission, it is, in fact, also available with a high-tech Continuously Variable Transmission or CVT.

The 2012 CR-Z, Accessorized  

Since the CR-Z is already showing signs of having an enthusiastic following, we expect the subject of official Honda accessories to be of much interest. It's a great looking car, so the CR-Z is the perfect canvas for subtle visual tweaks that can enhance its overall look. As a driver's car, the CR-Z is a great candidate for interior customization. The accessories for the CR-Z are geared to do just that—enhance the looks and functionality of the car.

The one, the only, the CRX

Introduced in 1984, the Honda Civic CRX quickly established itself as a lightweight, fun-to-drive 2-seat coupe. Available in three colors: Greek White, Victoria Red and Baltic Blue, the CRX and the CRX 1.5 looked like nothing else on the road. The combination of its high build quality and excellent driving dynamics led Motor Trend to name the 1984 CRX its Import Car of the Year. In 1985 the CRX added other models including the highly efficient, 58-hp HF model and the fuel-injected Si model, which brought more horsepower than the standard CRX (91-hp vs. 76-hp) and more aggressive styling including 14-inch alloy wheels. In 1985 Car and Driver added the CRX to its 10Best list.

A Simple Explanation of a High-Tech Feature

One of the CR-Z's more unique features is its 3-mode drive system. This allows the driver to tailor the driving experience to actual conditions or personal preference. Some drivers may prefer to conserve fuel at all times. Some drivers may prefer to have all of the CR-Z's power on tap at all times, while other drivers may prefer to have a combination of the two but with the option to pick either, depending on the situation.
