I bought my 2011 Chevy Volt base model two and a half years ago with 85,000 miles. The nine year old vehicle now registers126,000 miles and has 100 percent of its advertised battery range. I still get 32 to 38 miles per charge on the highway and over 40 miles per charge on back roads. In gasoline mode the car gets 36 mpg and the switch from electric to gasoline is seamless. The fit-and-finish is near perfect. The handling is better than any non performance car I've driven and the acceleration is brisk. The cloth seats are remarkably durable, comfortable, and well bolstered. Even my driver seat still looks new. GM truly outdid itself on this vehicle especially in engineering the battery to last so long. Hats off to GM on this vehicle.

Hello out there in Edmunds land! Today, I am going to review my 2011 Chevrolet Volt. As the title in the review states, I've driven this car over 150k miles in the last 7 years and it has never let me down. It starts every day, no matter the weather which is why I gave it 5 stars for reliability. It's also a safe car having all the latest safety equipment, so that's not an issue. For most other things, I gave it 4 stars, as most of the other pieces of the car are average, like ride comfort and performance. I didn't expect a lot given the kind of car it is (Mid-size but not luxury by any means), but it meets my needs, all while delivering 85+ MPG over that 150k miles. All in all, while the car has gotten better over the years since the 2011 model, it's still the same car I bought and it is serving me well. My Volt is #2935 and was the 3rd Volt registered in the State of MA.

My Volt is incredible. My lifetime mpg is 112 and rising. I've driven over 1000 miles without any gas. I didn't buy any gas the first month I owed it. It has a sport mode that makes it fun and sporty to drive with speed to jerk your head back. It's as powerful as a V-6. I'm loving it.

I have owned my Volt since mid-March, and have used exactly 20 gallons of gas over 3100 miles. Most of my daily driving is done in all electric mode, but I did take one 80 mile trip and one 750 mile trip. On the long trip I did not recharge and averaged 41 mpg in charge-sustaining mode. I also own a Prius and feel that the Volt, though a bit smaller, is a big leap forward over that fine car. The Volt is quicker, handles better, is quieter, has much lower operating cost/mile (i pay only $0.10 per kWh), and has been totally glitch free. It's an astonishing achievement.
My first oil change was at 35K miles $0.00 spend

This car is fun to drive especially in sport mode. My first oil change was at 35K miles and it was free, so far no repairs (except the couple minor recalls) $0 spend in over 2 years I don't know why if you check the cost to own it it says: Maintenance first year $166 second year $317, not true $0 spend Repairs first year $80 second year $191, not true $0 spend I din't spend a dime in over 3 years In October 2016 was 3 years and 68K miles already without any issues at all, very very satisfied with this car. April 2017, Second Oil change it was also free at 75k miles, $0 spends far. Cons. The only complain is the middle arm rest it is kind of hard and it should be a bit forward, the radio doesn't remember what input was selected the last time it was on, if it was in bluetooth input, and for some reason it goes to FM radio how did edmunds come up with this numbers ? http://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/volt/2013/st-200424007/cost-to-own/
