Quite simply having owned BMW's, Corvette's etc (I love these cars BTW)....The ELR is the greatest car ever. Show stopping styling, luxurious interior, innovative technology. I regularly have strangers ask what it is. Several people have photographed it. In the first 1200 miles I have put on it. my gas consumption is is 0. Need I say more...get one while you can!

Anyone looking at this car probably has a clue... don't buy this (used at least 3 year old car at the time of this writing) if you want a: 1: Pickup truck and need the room 2: need a van or big hatchback because you haul so much stuff 3: This is to be your only car unless you never haul anything of size 4: Have 3 kids that you need to haul around 5: Need a testosterone boost and an extension of your manhood with asphalt burning acceleration and/or big Porsche engine sounds 6: Really want some long range EV and don't care about the fact that you have a range extending gas engine or don't care about range anxiety. Do think about one of these cars (2016) if you want a drop dead great looking car that pictures can't accurately display how nice this car looks in person, with an interior quality that can only be bested by a car costing 3 times it's price when new. If you like regen type driving like a Volt, i3, IPace, you got it in L mode, but with the regen on demand paddle you get regen at double the rate of the normal one pedal driving- it's excellent and highly useful. I never even see dirt on my front wheels from the usual brake pad dust/brake fluid vapor like on most cars. Using the regen paddle and normal regen type of driving makes using the brake a rarity. Car is so reliable, problems are rare and few. Drives great and Voltec technology is very well thought out. Car is way better than I even imagined. Super happy with it! Don't believe idiot reviews from car magazine writers. If you understand what the car is all about before you buy and are okay with it, you will be a happy ELR owner. The reviews on this site are wrong! Here's what they say: Still has a lofty base price - No matter now, at used they're an exc deal! noisy gasoline engine - I don't even notice mine, unless going up steep hill claustrophobic backseat - Untrue, anyone under 5-10" can fit just fine tiny trunk with narrow access - Not THAT small, there's way smaller touchscreen can be slow to respond - Nope -2016 fixed all that. continued use of the original Chevrolet Volt powertrain. Not true, it's way tweaked and way better, so that's just not a good statement making it sound the same - it's not! All in all, I would highly recommend this car to folks wanting a 2 door, maybe no kids, especially with normal 50 mile and under driving per day. regen paddle ALONE will make me keep this car for a long time, not even counting it's great looks! It even came with great looking wheels - a rarity on cars.

The best car I have ever owned

I bought the ElR as an impulse buyer. I saw it thought it had great lines and bought it. I have owned a number of luxury cars over the years from Cadillacs to Lincolns to BMWs this is the best car by far. The volt technology provides great mileage the interior is the best I have owned. The truck offers good room while the backseat is tied is appointed with luxury.

I knew this would be an awesome car. Mis-understood by the market. I have owned several Cadis. This one has the nicest interior. Show stopping exterior. There is lots of talk out there about lack of horsepower. I am thrilled with the "pick-up". Being electric, the torque is really awesome! I can punch holes in traffic easily and I leave everyone in the dust at stoplights. Does NOT feel underpowered at all. My commute to work allows me to use electric only. WOW!
