No fun for you! Heck I might've gotten one of those back in the day instead, if they got that right. I'm not a honda guy, but I do like them mostly.
The CR-Z had a manual.


Honda's old IMS hybrid system (a 14hp assist motor) was just worthless. For comparison, the modern Honda 2-motor hybrid system uses a 181hp (or 151hp) traction motor. So a 2022 Insight is significantly faster and more efficient than the CR-Z was.
