The Honda CR-Z launched for the 2011 model year as a spiritual successor to the CR-X. It's a sport compact hybrid that combines a 1.5L gasoline engine with Honda's Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) electric motor. What made it special was the available 6-speed manual transmission, a true rarity for any hybrid.
Collectors are drawn to the CR-Z because it's one of the few modern hybrids built with driving fun in mind. The combination of its lightweight, 2-seat chassis and the engaging manual gearbox creates a unique package. Its distinctive, futuristic styling and nod to a classic Honda nameplate also bolster its appeal for enthusiasts.
The CR-Z market is currently very affordable, with an average sale price around $6,169. Cars equipped with the 6-speed manual are the most desirable and tend to fetch higher prices than their CVT counterparts. Well-maintained, low-mileage manual examples are the ones to watch as they become harder to find.
Buying Tips
- Check the health of the IMA hybrid battery. A replacement is expensive, so look for any related warning lights on the dashboard during a test drive.
- The exterior door handles are a common failure point and can be costly to replace. Check that they operate smoothly and don't feel loose.
- Decide between the CVT and the 6-speed manual. The manual is far more desirable for enthusiasts and will likely hold its value better.
- Some early 1.5L engines were known for oil consumption, so check the oil level and look for consistent service history.
Prices range from $1,500 for high-mileage examples to $9,999 for clean, low-mileage cars.
