My First EV Every

Honda clarity is amazing, car ride is smooth. The interior is clean and very sleek. The looks sexy. Charge time is about 12 hrs on 110V, but i fixed that problem by installing a 240V outlet in my garage worth every penny. Haven't been to a gas station for over a week now. I'm very happy with this car.

Update to Previous Review

I did my first review of this car on Oct 2, 2018, after owning it for 6 weeks. We have now driven it for 3 months. We still love everything about it, but wanted to update one thing. In previous review I said it was costing us about $1.00 to do a full overnight charge. Actually, it is only costing about $.40 with the Kwh discount that our electric company gives us for owning a EV car.

Finally I found my car. Bought it...liked it

After a year long search and several test drives, I bought clarity. I have to drive 100 miles per day and this is the car for that....assembled in Japan and feels that finish in each area. Very fuel efficient and spacious.

Luv this honda

luv, luv luv this car. You get the best of both worlds with a luxurious interior in the base model. Lane assist and automated breaking are just two of the features in the car that come standard.

Works as advertised

The car came with a full tank of gas. I've driven about 500 miles on local streets and still have every drop of the dealer provided gas. I am impressed with the handling. The weight is well suspended so cornering is stable. The ride is pleasant and quiet. Well worth the money.

Clarity appropriate name for this exemplary car

Honda's Clarity is appropriately named as a fresh comprehensive design that offers many recent automobile safety and luxury items other cars do not offer. The vehicle provides hybrid economy of electric propulsion together with the Honda refined high efficiency gasoline engine offering 42 mpg and 110 e-mpg with electric. Try it, as I did, and you'll love the quite sumptuous ride and its brisk acceleration.

Looks and Drives like luxury car

Pleasantly surprised by solid ride and handling. Plenty of power on hills without a sign of engine noise. EV only range plenty for a week of errands. Have already recommended to friends.

Pay taxes or buy a car

Why pay money to the government and get nothing in return? Use the $7500 to pay your taxes after you apply that money to the purchase of this car. If you drive 47 miles per day you could drive for a year without buying gas. Just plug into your wall outlet overnight and you're good to go the next day.
