It'll bring much-needed driver involvement into the hybrid equation, something we're intrigued to test out ourselves. We wonder about the necessity of the integrated motor assist system though, as the mileage for the manual is estimated at 31 MPG city, 37 MPG highway, and 33 MPG combined, the CVT is pegged at 36/38/37 MPG, respectively. We'll just be standing out on the porch shaking our canes at the young whippersnappers and their danged hybrids. Why, back in our day the CRX-HF got 50 MPG without fancy tricks and heavy batteries, and gosh darn it, it was fun to drive!
