Now in its second year, the 2012 Honda CR-Z coupe returns virtually unchanged to continue to fight the perception that “hybrid” has to mean “boring.”

And it almost does it based on looks alone. The two-seat CR-Z features some of the boldest styling to be found in Honda’s lineup, with a large front grille and intake, wide stance, and a forward swept profile that makes the CR-Z look like it’s always in a hurry. 16-inch wheels and LED taillights come standard, while HID headlight, 17-inch wheels, and fog lights are optional. The CR-Z competes with other small compacts that put an emphasis on drivability and fuel efficiency, like the Mini Cooper and Mazda2.

Under the hood the 2012 CR-Z features a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that combines with an electric motor to produce 122-horsepower. The engine also features a stop/start system that will shut down the gas engine when the car is stopped to conserve fuel. Another unique feature of the CR-Z: it is the only hybrid on the market with a manual option. Choose between the six-speed manual and a CVT. When driving, choose between three modes: Sport, Normal, and Econ. Each of these modes adjusts the CR-Z’s engine and handling characteristics depending on what you’re in the mood for at that moment.

Fuel economy numbers vary depending on transmission. With the CVT equipped, the CR-Z checks in at 35 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. Numbers dip slightly with the manual, down to 31 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway.

Inside, the CR-Z carries a futuristic look and a driver oriented cabin. The climate controls are even mounted on a small dial that juts out from the instrument panel, and the blue ambient lighting adds to the racy feel. Plenty of features come standard on the CR-Z, including automatic climate control, USB audio interface and auxiliary audio input jack, and power windows and locks. Also available is Bluetooth® connectivity and a navigation system.

Safety features include six airbags, four-wheel disc antilock brakes, electronic stability system with traction control, and active head restraints.

With its unique six-speed manual, futuristic looks inside and out, and plenty of technology, the 2012 Honda CR-Z is anything but boring.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
