I just bought a volt and am actually being paid to drive it. I put zero down financed at 0%. My payments come to $5,800 a year for six years. I get paid a $9,000 tax credit (live in California). I save $2,000 a year on gas and $500 a year on tolls ($15,000 over six years). So, even if the car loses half of it's value, at the end of six years I own a car worth $17,500 and my out-of-pocket expense came to only $11,000. In other words, I get to drive a car for six years and am essentially paid $6,500 to do so.
And That's When the Disappointment Began
Drove this 2012 Volt for 147,000 miles without ANY problems. It was virtually the perfect car. At 147,000 the transmission developed a Whine and the dealer's best answer was a 4%,800 estimate for a new Transmission. HMMMM! I never drove a car less that 200,000 before giving up. I believe I'll look for a wreck with 50,000 miles on it and swat Transmissions.

this car has to be one of the safest cars in the world. i fell asleep driving and hit a post going about 40 miles an hour and nothing happened to me is completely safe and i would not hesitate to buy this car again.

Great car at a great lease! Thanks Obama!
What a deal-low lease for this fantastic car and I no longer visit the gas station! Somebody needs to get us off the gas pipeline, why not the government. Thanks to lucrative incentives, I drive this car for less than my former gas bill.
Middle East Oil=0; USA=100!!!
If you frequently drive short distances and/or have a minimal commute, this car is a definite WINNER!!! You may NEVER need to fill up on gas again! Technologically, the Volt is leading edge state of the art. Charging the high tech battery is effortless. I heard the Volt's Lithium Ion battery can be recharged 5000 times before wearing it out; if once per day, every day of the year, that means this battery should last at least 13 years. However, GM provides a 15year/150k warranty for good measure! Tax incentives are going fast. It is easy to get over sticker shock because a Chevy Volt is an OUTSTANDING investment!!!
