My wife and I love this car. drives and handles wonderfully. Especially now with gasoline prices rising dramatically the savings are enormous. highly recommend this car, if you can find one. a year later, no change. we gas up (only 8 gallons) about every four months.

Still love this car. My wife has an Accord, and I have a Clarity base model, though I drive hers on occasion. My favorite thing on this car is being able to do most of my daily driving in EV mode. I average about 120 e-mpg as a result. However, this car does have to be "managed", meaning, you should know what mode to put the car in before you set out. Normal, Eco, HV, and Sport, but HV can be combined with all but Eco. The car is pretty silent in EV mode, and less noisy than my wife's Accord while in HV Mode, and even in "HV Charge" mode (which some complain about). I find the acceleration to be reasonably brisk, especially in Sport mode. Its as heavy as an SUV (3700 pounds), but not top heavy, so takes a curve without breaking a sweat. Much has been said about the Entertainment system being antiquated. I didn't buy it for that, and I find Apple CarPlay to make the matter mute. I do care about the audio quality, and that is pretty decent. Much has been said about the styling of the car, but I definitely like the styling. I bought the extended bumper to bumper warranty, out to 100,000 miles. I did this because car repairs have ratcheted up since the Pandemic, and decided the $2500 extra was good insurance against inflationary surprise repair bills.

I am extremely happy with my Clarity for many reasons. The ride is incredibly smooth and quiet. The engineering that Honda put in this vehicle is amazing - there are about 9 different drive modes from ECON to SPORT to HV each handles slightly differently. I mostly drive in ECON and it has more than enough power for my needs including merging onto the highway. SPORT is very fast and I don't need it really. So far I have had my car for 1100 miles and I have only used 3 gal. of gas since I charge after driving either at home on a 110 outlet or at a public charging station and the 50 or so miles (depends on temperature) is plenty for most of my driving. If the battery gets used up it automatically goes into Hybrid mode and will use a combination of gas and electric. But the ride and handling are really outstanding! The trunk is also quiet roomy and I could fit my mountain bike in there with the trunk closed. The only downside I can think of is in the winter the battery range is reduced due to the cold temps and using the heater so you won't get 50 miles of range in cold temperatures but it is still a great car. I get excited every time I go for a drive! I think this car is an amazing value given the current tax credits offered.

This car offers the best of two worlds. Hybrid design for very good mpg with gasoline. 17 kwh battery and electric motors for quiet and serene driving in city and highway with outstanding mpg. And good size inside offers room and comfort for 5 with a great ride in all weather conditions.

After much research on electric and hybrid cars I found the best of both worlds in the Clarity. The ride is exceptional, the cabin is thoughtfully designed. As someone who drives for work, the hv charge feature and ability to transfer power back to the battery when driving are really impressive. fuel costs are negligible $10 for half a tank, and charging at home after midnight is about $4. My overhead is now almost zero. It’s a pity Honda discontinued it this year.
