"For those who are ready to write off the as no CRX Si successor, a little history lesson is in order. When the latter car was launched in 1984, it was designed to be a 2-seat commuter car, not the pocket-rocket it later came to be in the revered Si variants. In fact, when we tested the original in 1984, it recorded a 0\u201360 mph time of 10.1 seconds. Since there is no CR-Z Si...yet...such should be the expectations for the 2-seat mild hybrid, which is the first such vehicle to offer a 6-speed manual. With its electric assist and combined 122 hp it&amp;#039;s certainly zippier than the 76-bhp original, getting to 60 mph in 8.6 sec. That number may not be impressive by today&amp;#039;s standards, but it&amp;#039;s not a bad starting point either, when you consider the fun factor of rowing your own gears. The car&amp;#039;s relatively compact dimensions and light weight also mean handling is engaging\u2014the CR-Z pulled 0.82g on the skidpad and motored through the slalom at 66.8 mph. Underscoring the CRX&amp;#039;s handling appeal back in the day, that car registered 0.81g and 64.0 mph through the slalom. Of course, it&amp;#039;s no mere coincidence that both promise around 34\u201335 mpg in combined city and highway driving. The more things change, the more they stay the same...
