Honda FCX Clarity: a refined drive

First Opinion

While questions over eco-friendly hydrogen extraction remain, this car impresses. Capable of returning the equivalent of

81mpg, it is quiet, refined and practical. Cabin quality is first-rate, and the ride and handling are acceptable, too. However, as a result of each

example’s high production cost, it’s unlikely to be made widely available any time soon.
