Honda CR-Z (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Whitworth, 31 January 2012 10:20

Goodbye to our Honda CR-Z – 31 January 2012 The departure of a long-term car is an odd experience. I rarely grow attached to the car as a true owner would, but tend to view them with a rather detached eye as something to be constantly evaluated and judged. The Honda was different. I really gelled with this car during the ...

Honda Civic 2.2 i-DTEC (2012) CAR Review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Kendall (photography by George F Williams), 23 December 2011 06:00

Swindon’s most famous export (aside from Billie Piper) has had a re-boot. The all-new, ninth-generation Honda Civic will go on sale in January 2012, and gently evolves the space-age Civic of 2006 – itself a radical departure from the safe, blue-rinse optimised Civics of old. First impressions count, and oddly some of the most memorable design flourishes which gave the ...

Honda Civic 1.8 iVTEC EX-GT (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Honda is nothing if not attentive to its customers. This, allied to bullet-proof build quality, metronomic reliability and ironclad residuals, explains why so many of them keep coming back for more. So it’s hardly surprising that it was to its customers that Honda turned first when hatching this new, ninth generation Civic. Five areas were identified for attention: the ‘polarising’ ...

Honda CR-Z Mugen prototype (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 20 June 2011 00:00

This is the Honda CR-Z Mugen hybrid, and it isn’t a production car… yet. Instead this prototype (valued at over £150k!) is designed to showcase just how far Mugen can push the CR-Z envelope. Mugen parts for the CR-Z already exist in Japan, but this is a British project by Mugen's European arm, Mugen Euro. Mugen is to Honda what Alpina is ...

Honda Jazz Hybrid (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 03 May 2011 13:45

You usually associate hybrids with Toyota and Lexus, but not Honda – Honda makes high-revving VTEC engines, right? However, the torque-rich nature of electric motors mean they’re ideally suited to a synchronous life with a petrol engine that produces power at high revs. And with the launch of the new, facelifted Jazz, Honda has squeezed an electrified powertrain into its sensible ...

Honda CR-Z and Jazz Hybrid (2011) video review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard and Ben Pulman, 04 January 2011 12:41

We pit Honda’s two smallest hybrid cars – the CR-Z coupe and Jazz Hybrid supermini – against each other in CAR Magazine’s video road test. It might be one of the snowiest days of the year, but associate editor Tim Pollard and staff writer Ben Pulman donned Russian hats, wrapped up warm and got to grips with two of the ...

Honda Civic Si 5dr (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman (photography by Paul Barshon), 17 June 2010 06:00

Back in 2006 the conservative Civic was relaunched as a futuristic-looking hatch. But the past four years have helped mellow the sci-fi looks, so to jazz things up Honda has launched an Si-spec Civic. Essentially the Si kit is just a trim level – there are no chassis tweaks, and the kit is available with all the current engine and ...

Honda CR-Z hybrid (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Anonymous, 19 May 2010 11:56

This isn’t what I’d been led to expect. The new 2010 Honda CR-Z hybrid coupe is billed as ‘the world’s first sporty hybrid’, so I’d anticipated something a bit more electric and 21st century; something weird, whooshy, torquey and maybe a bit aloof. But instead of being fast-forwarded a decade, it’s all gone a bit Life on Mars. The new ...

Honda Walking Assist devices (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 23 October 2009 11:22

If you thought yesterday’s CAR test of Honda’s U3-X electric unicycle was weird, wait until you here about these two ‘walking assist’ devices. Since 1999 Honda has been researching and developing walking assist devices for people with leg problems, and CAR has just tested two such contraptions. Read on for our full review. So what are these new Honda walking ...

Honda U3-X (2009) CAR slide review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman (photos by Mark Fagelson), 22 October 2009 10:55

The new Honda U3-X might look like a glorified unicycle but beneath the carbonfibre skin it’s a fiendishly clever bit of kit. Unveiled at the 2009 Tokyo motor show earlier this week, it’s one of Honda’s latest-generation personal mobility devices. CAR has just ridden the concept, so read on for our first slide review. Tell me all about the Honda ...
