That sounds awesome! I wish they still made those, I love Hondas

You can still get one used! Consider the fact that there are only two trims for it so you won't get raked over the coals to get good features. It's basically an Acura interior and comes standard with heated seats, adaptive cruise and lane keeping, and car play/android auto

Good point, I'm actually mostly looking at used cars. Is it fairly easy to find a compatible public charger (I still don't fully understand how it all works) for longer drives? I.e. up and down 95 give or take 2-3 hours?

On long trips I just use it as a hybrid. You still benefit from 40+mpg and the gas tank is only 7 gallons so you fill up very quickly and only spend like 20 bucks each time. You also get regenerative braking which saves you a ton of money on brake pads. The clarity is a FANTASTIC highway cruiser and my passengers have also said it's quite comfortable. Up to NOVA and back can be done on half a tank on a full battery and I usually charge back up on arrival off any available wall outlet

Wow, amazing! I'm going to keep an eye out for that one and some of the other plug-in hybrids
