Don't know about anyone else, but I find that the Clarity is like two very different vehicles in the EV vs Hybrid mode. In EV, it's quiet and immediately responsive (even when I have it set for maximum efficiency). But once it shifts to gas/hybrid, the engine sounds like it's continually revving and the response is almost sluggish. Now, move to sport mode and it jumps, but you can still hear that engine noise.
It's not really a big deal for me, since literally 95% of the time I'm in EV mode, but you would think Honda could do better job of minimizing engine revving. Fact is, if the hybrid mode were the only option I wouldn't own the vehicle. But, having said that, when it's in EV mode, I'm a HUGE fan.
