The most important feature is that you can easily charge the car and not have t buy gas.
I like that I do not have to buy gas The car has a fast engine. The car can fit 3 in the back seat

Fits your every need possible.
The most important thing I love about my car is how reliable it is. Gas is amazing it is real fuel efficient. The comfort level is through the roof. I haven't had a problem with my car since I bought it. Maintenance on this vehicle is simple. To sum it all up this car meets my every need.

Honda clarity electric was everything we wanted and much more.
I could not be any more pleased with my Honda clarity electric. Comfort in driving is superior. It is quiet, handles corners and curves like a sports car and is lightning fast. It is so fast that I had to replace tires after just 7 months. I then learned my lesson about quick starts and how rubber was burned and slowed down, or at least learned how to accelerate without screeching my tires. My new tires over two years old and they are wearing wonderfully. The leather seats are soft and subtle yet firm for support and are easily adjustable. The interior controls are laid out logically, user friendly and work perfectly. However, I would prefer a volume knob rather than an screen feature, which is challenging to locate and use. Not to mention I have it tap it several times to either lower or raise volume. Hassle. The clarity gets only 85 miles before a charge but I understood this when I leased it. The clarity allows my wife and to do all our errands or visit events around town and never having to stop/pay for gas. It is been a dream.

Reliability. It is always ready to go!
Excellent auto. It handles like a sports car, has plenty of get up & go. My only complaint is that it is uncomfortable getting in & out. At 65 I find it a little to low & takes quite an effort to do so. We're planning on selling it one of these days, but hate to see it go. It is has been an excellent automobile.

This car is smarter, faster, and easier to drive than most cars.
I love the functionality of the car. The car warns you if you are getting too close to the next car and this car also has lane keeping assist which helps you stay within the lanes. There is a back up camera as well as a side camera to help you. There is also carplay so that you can see everything on your phone on the car's display.

It is and has been a very smooth car.
Does not take full tank of gas so I have to get gas more often. Also the turn signal blinks really fast and a lot louder. And sometimes the steering wheel will lock in place and will stop steering. I have taken it in to get fixed several times but they for some reason cannot and they still charge me even though they didn't even do anything.

Brake and shifting problems
I've had a few problems with this particular car. I be only had it for a year and have already had trouble with the brake pads and gear shifting.
