When coasting or braking, it serves as a generator, regenerating electricity and charging the high-voltage battery pack. The brake pedal feel can be quite good for a hybrid. Regenerative braking tends to make the pedal mushy and nonlinear. Between its stick shift and decent brake pedal really feel, the manual CR-Z is the least hybridlike hybrid we've driven. It's good to drive a handbook hybrid again, because the last one went out of production with the previous-generation Civic Hybrid in 2005. There's a tradeoff, although, in gasoline mileage. In common cars, manuals often are more environment friendly, but all of it depends on the way you drive them. This goes double for hybrids, because the alternative, a pc-managed CVT, does a better job of maximizing regenerative braking. However, Honda says a driver who follows the guide CR-Z's shift-up and shift-down indicator arrows can come close to the CVT's score. I additionally drove the CVT model, which behaves pretty e...
