Used Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid for Sale in Billings, MT

Agree with all the good reviews. A few comments: on the uphills/sllopes, the battery loses charge very fast and down hills a lot more electric only mileage than 47. I drive it >60 miles a day. When the gas engine kicks, gets noisy. Infotainment is not user friendly esp. with selecting what mode to use and navigate between apps. There is NO AUXILIARY input so you can not plug in any CD player into the car. This is a big deal for me as I want to be able to listen to some CDs that I can not transfer to other digital formats. The big hump in front of the driver's seat is very annoying and uncomfortable. This is probably due to the big size battery. Also the middle back row floor hump which makes the middle back row person uncomfortable. I wish the trunk was liftback instead of old school sedan. This way the space in the trunk would have been much more useful. Overall the best plug in car in the market now. Very quiet and soft on all electric mode. Drove >1700 miles on about 6 gallons and the rest was electric.

First, we had given up on Roseville Honda because of many negative experiences. However, our Accord air conditioner started acting up and we have a heat wave this week. Auburn couldn't take us so I called Honda Roseville. We got a friendly prompt appointment on the phone for yesterday, same day! We arrived early and the gentleman who came out to get us in line and set us up was a really nice guy (forgot his name). We were assigned to Randy who had NO ATTITUDE, just took real good care of us and was also really nice/friendly/professional. While we were waiting we took the opportunity to start the conversation about a possible upgrade to our 2004 (get some info, etc). Gabe took us on a test drive, sat with us, gave us information, answered our questions like a human relating to other humans (none of the wait here while so & so comes to talk to you - ultimately starting over with about 3 or 4 different people who come back instead of the one we were previously talking with, wondering what the heck is going on and wasting our time). We will follow up with him. Back to Randy to get our car. He was terrific/great energy right to the end - sense of humor, smile, authentically interested in making sure we got well taken care of along with the car. Everything transparent/explained. We even got an unexpected car wash! The air conditioner is better than new. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A COMPLETE 180 AND A REALLY GREAT EXPERIENCE AT ROSEVILLE HONDA! Hope you keep this quality going. (Regards questions below, we had previously not recommended you, and we did purchase a used Accord there , but several years ago)

I think this hybrid is a winner compared to Prius and other cars I have owned or driven. Interior is very nice, ride is comfortable. I do have some problems with learning the 'saving favorite stations on the radio', but otherwise user friendly. On home charger 240V, takes about 2.5 hours . Short trips around town..no gas use at all. Exterior styling is great also with a sedan/sporty look. Honda is rated as having the best engine in the world and a leader in inovation.

Overall I'm completely satisfied with this vehicle. Has a lot technology, touring package makes it comfortable, mpg & mpge are excellent, sport mode is effective. The federal tax credit and a Texas rebate make this purchase a no brainer. My modified for off-road 4Runner gets 14mpg so this commuter pads my wallet a bit and practically pays for itself. Plan to keep this thing for 10 years and it's a Honda so I know it will last.

The quality of this car is impressive. Honda put a lot of thought in design and function. I have owned several new cars from different brands in the past and consider the Honda a good value for the money. The plug in hybrid developed by Honda is light years away from the other manufacturers. In the four weeks we have owned the car, we have not used a drop of gasoline. All our travel is within the 50 mile range of where we live. I can't wait to take a long trip to see the mpg from the combination of electric and gas engine.

I had a great experience as far as communication and response to my concerns. I really liked the idea of buying a car online but the prices aren't that great. I know shipping is a cost but I would like lower prices.

Wonderful car, excellent interior, smooth smooth ride, we just love it. All electric or hybrid. Sport mode adds zip and response. Short commute is no gas. Long trips, almost 50 MPG.

A new car is always anxiety provoking. More so with each review you read. Everyone has an opinion. I decided on the Clarity PHEV after research and, most importantly, driving it. Any negatives I read were highly OVERSTATED, and most of the positives were understated. For example: “Handling is mediocre.” Bull! It’s not a sports car. So what? It handles well enough. Negatives I read: Piddly criticisms like “it doesn’t have lumbar support or a volume knob.” If this is a major problem you should throw out the baby with the bathwater and buy a back roll and figure out how to use your left thumb on the steering wheel volume control. Who buys a car based on a volume knob? The styling is “different.” “There’s a partial covering on the rear wheel!” How petty. What a dumb reason not to buy a car. Bottom line. This car is comfortable, reliable, a GREAT VALUE, and extremely enjoyable. It makes me excited unlike any other car in that it is a practical look at the future of getting us off gasoline with the confidence of range. Why cry that the wiper fluid reservoir is small when you get unbelievable versatility in a LARGE, extremely comfortable, and amazingly fuel efficient purchase? The criticisms are so petty, really. I am 10/10 pleased. There is no “perfect” car. For ME, this car is far more than I could have hoped for at the price, especially considering the $7,500 federal tax credit. The Prius prime can’t touch the range and luxury of this car. The Leaf is a cramped box with no range compared to the Clarity. The Tesla is so overpriced and who wants to sit at a recharging station anyway? This car will be a joy to own even 10 yrs from now. By then I hope other manufacturers will focus on the winning combination this car has: VERSATILITY, LUXURY, COMFORT, RELIABILITY, ECONOMY AND JOY. It isn’t the “Best” at anything. But it’s the best combination of everything!!!! Drive it and see! Until a BEV can go 600 miles and recharge in 20 minutes and sell for 25-30 grand with comfort and reliability, the Clarity is the best choice for now for the money!!!

I live 30 miles from work and after 1250 miles I have yet to put gas in the car (the gauge shows the gas tank 3/4 full). I plug into a 120v outlet when I get home and plug into a Chargepoint station at my place of work. I love the adaptive cruise control...relieves driving stress. When i take it on a long drive I will obviously have to get gas but for now I'm lean and green.

When I asked for the process of signing the lease to be quick because it was on my lunch break, they accommodated me and I was in and out of there in 45 minutes.

We test-drove several Honda models, and were intrigued by the Clarity, a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Reviews said it lacked performance. Not sure how the reviewers like to drive, but for us, the car drives and handles wonderfully. Good handling and steering, plenty of pep, very quiet and comfortable...and the economy!! We are averaging 90+ mpg. We currently use 110v charging...costs about $1.25 to charge overnight. It is almost unbelievable. We are paying about 1/4 (gas+ electricity) what we were paying to drive our 2010 Ridgeline.

I've owned the base model Clarity for 4 months and 5k miles now and I'm very pleased with how smooth, efficient and smart the vehicle is thus far. I bought the car significantly under MSRP even before the 7,500 Federal and 1,000 state tax credits and this made it a no-brainer to purchase. After I claim my credits, it will end up being slightly cheaper than a new Prius Prime plug-in with mid-level trim after its tax rebate. The Clarity is twice the car that the Prius prime is. The Clarity is pretty much a full-sized luxury sedan with a lot of class and comfort, but missing some odd-ends like no power seats in the base model. The seats are pleasure to sit in though for the 2 hours of driving that I do per day. I've gotten 51 miles on a full charge, around town. If it's very cold or I'm driving too fast, I think 40 miles is the least I've gotten. The gas hybrid motor gives me between 41mpg and 45 mpg, even if the electric battery has no charge. There can be a drone from the engine when it's cold out or when the gas engine is charging the battery, which is normal I've been assured. With snow tires it gets the same mileage. I find that I only hit my brakes 1/4 of the time as I use the regenerative braking paddles on the steering wheel to slow down. The apple play package works ok but it is a little clunky, especially without physical controls next to the touch screen.

Very easy to purchase, the entire thing happened over email and the papers were signed via overnight FedEx. Less than 1 week later, the car was in my driveway. It does take longer than a traditional dealer, but you don't have to sit there for hours while the paperwork and financing takes place. The car came in immaculate condition, no paint chips, no scratches. Interior was perfectly detailed and cleaned. Good price, low mileage, clean history report.

Best plug in hybrid. Best cargo and passenger space. Best all electric range and therefore highest Federal and NYS rebates. A no brainer buy from a great dealer and awesome sales guy... : Khalil Rasouly. Khalil treated us like family.

My wife and I were looking for a new all wheel drive for her. About a month ago we truly did not know what vehicle she wanted. In the running were the subaru crosstrek, the Honda HRV, and the Mazda cx3. Since we already purchased 3 hondas from Yonkers Honda naturally it was in the front of the others. We went to the dealer and a wonderful woman by the name of Mae Soleiman greated us in the most professional and warming spirit and asked the standard questions as any true salesperson should do. We were shown the vehicle in question and left alone to view it. Shortly after Mae returned and asked if we had any questions. After a short conversation we explained what we were looking for and Mae gave us a price and handed off her business card. We told her we were looking at different brands and would get back to her. Much to my surprise there was no hard sell or anything of that nature, only a perfect statement of if there is anything you need please call. A few weeks later I told my wife let's go purchase the Honda HRV. I emailed Mae to set up a time to meet at the dealership to make a deal. When we arrived at the agreed upon time Mae was there and waiting to show us two different levels of the vehicle, since we really did not know which one we wanted. Again she went over the two in question and left us alone to talk. Usually at this point a car salesperson tries to push you into the higher level since a commission is on the line. This did not happen. Mae returned and we sat down to make the deal. Never was there any type of problem from start to finish. We went to the bank to get a certified check, I called to set up a pick up time and returned the same day! The finance person named Curt processed all paperwork as fast as anything I had ever experience and again there was no hard sell to take the extended warranty, just the question are you interested. Total time on the entire process was about 2 hours from start to finish. Go here if you want a great experience in buying a new vehicle, assuming you are looking for a Honda. On a scale from 1 ( the lowest ) to 10 ( the highest ) they get an 11. Don and Maggie

When I started looking for a PHEV, I tried out the BMW X5e, 530e, Audi eTron A3, Mitsubishi Outlander, Chevy Volt, and Toyota Prius Prime. What set this Honda apart was the huge cabin interior, quiet ride, 47 miles per charge, and a responsive ride. Then when I found out that the $34K Clarity is more affordable than any other brand with: $7600 lease incentive + $500 employee discount + dealer discount + $1500 state + $1000 local utility rebate = $20K car. Super affordable and super low payments with zero gasoline so far. The original tank of fuel from the dealer is still full! Love having to not fill up every week - saving me $200 in gasoline costs. Electricity has only gone up $20 per month which is spectacular! The factory supplied level 1 charger is perfect as I leave the car overnight in the garage to get a full charge. Southern California is best for this type of vehicle because the range is not diminished by low temps. I usually get 45-53 miles per charge daily. Definitely a high tech car to have and makes my commute fun with the regenerative shift paddles to save on break wear! With the low residual value (RV), this lease might end up as a keeper at the end of 3 years. The buyout price is $14K so if the car does not give me issues, I will keep her!

What a great dealership to buy a process. From the salesman, Francis, to the managers Carlos and Tommy... I truly felt that I got a great deal and was treated fairly. The quality of service is next to none, I would recommend this dealership to anyone!

Stupid... it's just stupid how cool this car is. 40-50 miles of EV cruising before you need to switch to hybrid mode. Even if you just run Hybrid, you're still getting 80-90 MPG's. That's stupefying and Pious, er um, Prius smashing. I can even schedule the Clarity to warm up before we drive in the morning, or connect via the app and start a warm up whenever. I guess, if I had to, I could even use the remote to do that. :) The interior design is well thought out and easy to use. I know many people complain about the knoblessness (I may have invented that word) of the radio, but seriously, does your smartphone have a knob? Plenty of power ports and places to hide carry ons AND a phone pocket in the back seat. The woodgrain trims are convincing. I still don't know if it's wood or plastic. Features like brake hold, adaptive cruise, lane keeping, and slow speed follow are incredible. Let's talk about those paddles on the steering wheel. Many reviewers dislike them because, honestly, I don't think the understand their purpose. If used correctly, you can bring the car to near stop and continue on without touching the brake peddle. Each tap of the left paddle increases your generator induced slowing effect, and if you misjudge you can squeeze the right paddle to let off the regen braking to coast a little farther. Whenever you can stop without using the physical brakes, you're increasing your range and MPG's. Ok, I'm winded. Get a Clarity, it is Accord money but with so much more.

My old car was my third minivan in 15 years. Now that my kids are older and leaving for college, I wanted something that could carry 6 or 7 passengers but was ... well... NOT a minivan. I did some research on late model used three-row SUVs, and found the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. (My favorite of my three vans was a 2005 Nissan Quest, so choosing Nissan was easy for me.) Before I started browsing for cars, I applied for credit through Carvana, and was approved. Next, I entered in all of the information about the van I was trading for the Pathfinder. (Beware -- the trade-in amount is only good for 7 days, and it can change wildly in that time!) I was pleased with the trade amount, and it was great that I could shop for my new car and see my down payment and monthly payment for every car I viewed! My specifications were pretty clear -- AWD, less than 10,000 miles, and never a rental car. I found my dream car a few days later, and started the purchase process. It was quite smooth and the directions were very clear about what documents need to be uploaded. When I went to click on "finalize purchase" (or something like that), a red flag popped up...my trade-in value expired WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING OUT! I got on chat with Carvana staff right away, and they were able to return the trade in value to NEARLY what it was before the expiration. This is something that needs to be addressed by Carvana -- once a customer is to a certain point in the process, those numbers need to be frozen. So we set a delivery time, and the Carvana rep was pretty much on time considering he was traveling 70 miles or so from the Chicago office. Everything was smooth -- signed a couple more papers, took my Pathfinder for a spin, Eric inspected my trade, and I left within 30 minutes with my new car. I would also like to add that I drove directly to my mechanic, so he could inspect the car and make sure I wasn't buying something with hidden damage. Mechanic said to me, "This car is perfect, like new." Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks Carvana! I am telling everyone I know about you guys. Good to work with you! Janet - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

I think the car has plenty of space in the trunk and inside. I love all the features in the car especially the right side camera.
