Honda's silent achiever [11.7.7]

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.

Honda's new baby Honda fcx II is definite improvement from its predecessors...... from what i have come to know they are great they are definitely better and for a electric car to hit 80km/hr is a definite wow from me .i hope it’s going to get better and better in the future .This is a turning point in car manufacturing i have a gut felling this will certainly lower our dependence on fossil fuels

Oh i liked the entire review.thanks for the information.I think honda is a very good company and it makes good cars and bikes.i am satisfied with its service.
