In reply to Turboeric :
I also liked the Volt a lot until the battery started to degrade, which unfortunately caused the whole cascade of failures that led to me ditching it. At the time, I had a 100 mile/day commute to work and couldn't do it in a flakey car that couldn't get fixed.
The Clarity, I'd say, feels similar to the Volt and was a smooth transition, but definitely heftier. The eCVT is easy enough to get used to. I can't recall any annoyances from it, but I also haven't driven a car in 3 weeks because quarantine. I will say that the driving assistance features are a bit annoying sometimes, which is a thing I've heard from other Honda owners as well.
It's not fast. In Sport mode it feels a little bit more like a real car, but it's obvious that it's not made to do that all the time. Frequently I miss my old BMW.
As an appliance, it's reliable and quite comfortable, and I can see myself keeping it around for a decade. As a car, it leaves a lot of excitement to be desired.
