It certainly does a lot of things better than the other subcompacts, good power, 6spd, decent body design. Although it is within 50lbs of the CR-Z base model.

If you look at the video you can see that it goes from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 100 kmh in the video) in 9 sec... I don't think that thing has 208 hp it looks more like 160 ish.
What do you guys think? |
The engine sounds good to me. Obviously the straight line performance isn't great but the turbo model will improve that. I would like to test drive it to decide if I like the performance.
