Former Top Gear Host Jason Barlow Takes the Honda CR-Z Around Japan - GTChannel

[@TonyStark-mp6zv]

Such an underrated car

[@FalafelSam]

crz's a great achievement don't think of it as ruining a sports car, think of it as improving the image of hybrids.

[@khellendrose360]

I love my 2014 CRZ, gets lots of attention and regualarly get over 40mpg. Vast improvement over my old 2007 Saturn Auro XR 3.6 V6 with only got mid 20s. Slower yes, but still very fun to drive

[@AeroxNZ]

Hey dude. How was it after all these years? Thinking of buying one now and would love some insight

[@JonasOnAutos]

@@AeroxNZ I have 2011 crz with 337000km on it and it still drives and feels like new

[@michaelmoronez5980]

I'll chime in here. Got a 2013 model. Love it all over the south US. Gets 40 mpg regularly. Just about to hit 100k miles and still looks great next to newer cars. Engineering wise, it's damn solid. Only hade to replace battery, tires, oil. No major repairs needed as of yet. Only thing that got my goat is: the door handle. Plastic make that gave out a few weeks back, so I have to unlock and open the passenger door to drop my window on the drivers side. $118 part and an estimated 3 hours to replace.

[@WEStICE013]

i honestly love the styling of this car

[@ep3]

Wow 10 years ago...

[@donaldasayers]

The story goes that ford invented the acronym NVH as something they could shout over the racket of a Mk 3 Cortina.

[@citi0rhythm]

i like this guy's accent....and i think i started to love this car....

[@CJAEY]

I actually like this car. It seems pretty practical for every day use for sure. Easily would take it over any other hybrid.

[@ChichiLikesFood]

GTchannel videos in 720p are mind blowing

[@Pslpng2]

Reminds me of the CRX...Not a bad car, I like the dash

[@nismo007]

I wish this car can come with a k20a engine. the k20a is an economical engine already. would make a seriously good type r

[@Vamp898]

The K20A needs the double amount of fuel... and for 200hp, this is far from economical at all! The 310hp Civic Type R needs less fuel then the 201hp Civic Type R with the K20A Engine...

[@bigguns1997]

K20a and thats one cool car

[@MrPens87]

Tbh been thinking about this car a lot recently. It’s my hybrid of choice if I ended up losing my civic. But it’s just that. I love my civic FK7 hatchback :(

[@thelongnguyens]

Did you pick a CRZ up? I just picked up one last week, 2011 manual, a very fun car to drive. It's not fast like my FD2R and it encourages me to drive sensibly and get the most fuel economy. A joy to drive that's for sure!

[@MrPens87]

@@thelongnguyens Long story, short? No, I had a stroke due to carbon monoxide poisoning from my FK7 Civic hatchback. Exhaust. After I heal and go back to driving/working, I may! But nothing yet.

[@thelongnguyens]

@@MrPens87 I hope you're recovering well. Keep me updated if you do decide to get one, I'm enjoying the car despite negative views from others.

[@gt46c]

Is this the same guy that used to review super bikes in the old format of Top Gear. There was a fun must read article about this car in a recent issue of TG Mag.

[@firdausnirwan6953]

what code colour of this car?

[@reverseperstalsis]

this is amazing footage, im loving the style. Its almost erotic. But i guess im a nerd.

[@LordXaero]

2:51 I don't know. You haven't been to Baton Rouge.

[@KarlowBOI]

BRING THIS TO U.S!

[@adfadfewfrewafawefaw]

why cant they make hybrid sedans look good?

[@92SAITO92]

Is this built on the fit platform?

[@SIGMA_G12]

Yes and also Insight

[@bennychan723]

@ChichiLikesFood where is the 1080????

[@sparty115]

I drove this car when my friend bought it and i gotta say that i love it. I'd love to buy one but I heard rumors that a model is coming out with a K block because Honda is going to enter the car into one of those races that require a production model to have a regular engine event thing.Cant remember what its called at the moment.

[@ExigeGT3]

Nice add. Jason, why is there no English version of your CTR book? I now have to learn german... Scheiss!

[@deejaylovesandi]

The Gauge pod on this car looks like your looking down the barrel of a shotgun.

[@XenoRacing]

@dailyforman He had to.. or else he'd be blinded by the RISING SUN lol..

[@blackjin21]

WAIT WHAT THE HELL IS THAT BALL THING NEXT TO THE DIFFINITION OF THE VDIEO

[@jorikrademakers]

@dingo27mobile no its not,looks abit like it though

[@xDarhalx]

:D you should visit poland with some suv ;p cause driving normal car there is insane ;D

[@WEStICE013]

@ChichiLikesFood totally agree

[@darnit911]

Theirs the crx and now the crz but what happened to cry?

[@ifanana]

I bought crz 2 years back.great look fun city drive but not on the highway. very underpowered on the highway since IMA battery will be flat. solution? I turbocharged it!hehe...checkout my turbocharged crz on my channel

[@Vamp898]

yeah i feel with you brow. All the times 200km/h are not enough, its so hard.

[@joshg.9390]

3:05

[@ssportugal]

make a CR-Z Type-R and i will buy it xD

[@sireastwood]

A new hatchback ? I still prefer the EF models

[@Raven00714]

This car needs about another 200 hp and that would be one bad ass car!

[@Vamp898]

It would be a completely different car at all.

[@fynpedersen5627]

Not another 200. 200 would be plenty

[@xxxxdarksidexxxx]

@9freelandk yea they'll bring it too you and i hope they dont charge us for it

[@Atheismrulez]

Looks pretty good. Until now, I have hated Hybrids because they're so bland and boring. This car might change that.

[@DeScRuN]

More american tougue pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaseeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@ElementGT4]

sports prius....

[@tnrtnr7706]

V ate

[@seglermichael]

look like the honda van lame

[@judge9637]

Holy crap dude I'm sorry hate being this guy its z crz not crzed the fuck I absolutely hate doing this cause I'm not perfect but when someone corrected you and said its crz then why are you calling it zed

[@garymoore2535]

Because it is the correct way to pronounce the letter "Z" 😂😂😂

[@judge9637]

@garymoore2535 it's not, you don't pronounce a letter with other letters, or for that matter make it past tense it's z.. crz, not cr zed. Even the Japanese say crz an they built it

[@garymoore2535]

Yes but what you are failing to appreciate is that the guy reviewing the car is Northern Irish......hence he is using the English language and pronuciation precisely as it is intended to be used ! 😂😂😂👍

[@judge9637]

@garymoore2535 sure bud, 😑go tell that to the Japanese engineers that built the car an call it c r z not c r zed. I don't like being a grammar nazi I have no right to be but when everyone says it one way and you say it another you might just be wrong just an fyi their's only 3 letters to its name not 5 there's no ed at the end

[@judge9637]

@garymoore2535 also only the people in the uk call it zed, everyone else in the world seems to say crz so I don't think he's using precisely considering the other English speakers around the world all call it the same
