Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums. I'm considering making the plunge into the PHEV world and the two cars that grab my attention are the Chevy Volt and Honda Clarity due to their increased EV range. I was originally set on the Volt, but now the Clarity has grabbed my attention. I prefer the Honda name since I currently own two Hondas and have really never dealt with a GM vehicle.
For those that have extended experience with the Volt and have transitioned to the Clarity, what are your thoughts? Do you miss anything from the Volt. The car for me will primarily be a commuter car back and forth to work about 63 miles total. I hope to achieve EV the majority of the way. I'll rarely drive with others, but it would be nice to have the option of a back seat hence why I'm considering the Clarity. Both cars qualify for the $7500 federal credit and the Massachusetts $2500 rebate totaling $10000 in savings. I get pick up the Volt LT after savings for $17,500 and the Clarity Base for about $20,000.
Thoughts?
Looking forward to making the jump!
