Belt up, select "Drive" using a small plastic lug to the right of the steering wheel, release the double-action foot brake, and press the pedal on the right. That's it. You've just had your complete instruction session for the Honda FCX II.

The silent, four-seat sedan leaps off the line with immediate alacrity – one of the many pleasing traits of electric drive – and reaches 80km/h in what seems a couple of heartbeats. This is a quick car – reinforced when the white-coated engineer accompanying me explains that it is, in fact, doing 80 MILES an hour!

Hi,
Honda's first FCX was the shape of the likely progeny of a one-night stand between a surgical boot and a Logo hatchback. Four years ago, when that car appeared, its fuel cells and electric power systems were less compact and more difficult to package, and frankly, although the car was nice to drive, clean as a whistle and absolutely silent, it couldn't be described as exactly desirable, except perhaps to the staunchest greenie.

I drove the older Honda FCX and few years ago (before the Clarity came out) and it was a fine enough vehicle. I've been anxious to drive the Clarity, but Honda so far is keeping a tight rein on them so I'll have to wait a little while longer.

Silent fun, deceptively simple, and even lead, the first exposure to hydrogen fuel cell car is just around the corner, and Dave Moore has trained. Belt, select "unity" with a small plastic tab to the right of the steering wheel, release the brake pedal double action, and press the right pedal. That's it. You just had your training session to complete the Honda FCX II.
