The CR-Z is not a sports car, it's a sporty hybrid. Considering most hybrids are slugs on wheels the CR-Z is peppy in comparison. And like diesels they both have big price premiums over regular gasoline engines, the payback comes when you drive it a long time or when you resell it. There are Gen1 Insights with 200k miles.

This car is for DailyDrivers who don't want a boring appliance. The CR-Z can get mid 40's MPG for a tank with a 50 MPG tank on a good week. 30's if you push it. That's comparable to a Prius but the Prius is more expensive, bigger, and the driving experience is infamous for being pathetic.

The actual 0-60MPH is closer to mid 8's with 6spd, mid 9's with CVT. You all are wasting your time bashing this car. You might as well bash minivans or econoboxes.
