Hit from behind on the highway. Drivers seat back broke and no airbags went off. Got a settlement of about $18,000US ($24,400 Can.) It was tough to argue because we couldn’t find any cars to compare too. Ended up with a value between one in Vancouver and one in Calgary. Had 109,000 kms about 68,000 miles. Ended up buying a demo Ford Mach e GTPE for $40,200 Can ($28,900 US) with 5400 kms on it. Hoping it’s a good one.

My sincere condolences. I know my Clarity is irreplaceable, but at nearly 9 years old, I know from my experience with my gen-1 Insights that Honda will make it increasingly difficult to maintain. I hope you enjoy your Mach e.
 
That's a big hit.

Generally air bags don't go off in rear end hits like this. They are more for forward/side impacts. The seat breaking is a common problem.
I broke my seat in a rear-ender as well that wasn't even remotely this bad. They need to do a better job with the gears on reclining seats if you ask me.

A car is a car. you walked away, and that's a good day.

Enjoy the mach E. Post some new pics of it in the mach E forum. We have a couple of those now around here.

Absolutely true. Any accident that you walk away from is a good day! I will post some pictures
 
Glad you are ok and glad no one was in the back seat. Seem cabin held up nicely. The trunk was designed to collapse. There isn't any Honda out there has the plug-in range of clarity. I think insurance paid you more than the street value of the car, which is good.
 
Yes it did crumple up but the front passenger area was not really damaged. The only car with similar range is a Toyota Prius and I drove one. Nice car if you’re 20 something years old but it was a pain to get in and out of. Too low and more money than the Mach e. There never was many Clarity’s around Edmonton. I flew to Vancouver to buy mine. I’m like it so far. Crazy amount of power.
