OK, it is not a vehicle to be reviewed like all others, i.e. zero to 60, handling, Corinthian leather, etc. It is just a completely different concept of driving a car. The thrill exists because it uses virtually no gasoline, unless you drive over 40 miles. Even then it seemlessly transfers to a 35 mpg Chevrolet. But the fun is keeping it in electric and Chevrolet has a wonderful panoply of buttons and dials for your pleasure to fiddle your way to quiet, electric bliss. The average person fills up about every month, and now I get 15 mpg in everyday use. This is the perfect car for the two car commuter family. Fit and finish are adequate and the style is Prius modern, but who cares.

Drove home a new, 2012 Volt the other day. Great car! I had been waiting for another EV but test drove the Volt when it became available in Florida. The interior is stylish and gives the feeling of being in a sports car. GM is currently offering an incentive lease that I just couldn't ignore.

I have a 2012 chevy volt I bought it with 28k mi at first I thought it was a good car but then it turned into a nightmare first the starter battery went bad in the back then I got glitches in the computer that only the dealer could fix Propulsion loss at least 6 dreffernt times the big battery keeps going down in rechargeable miles I started with 45 miles per charge now I'm down to 21 and the say it is in normal range and that is in the summer winter is worse.the transmission just went out at 107,000 mi. the cost is 7,000 to replace it all I drove most on the highway to work and back. Of course the warranty was out at 100250 mi.and I'm not the only one that it has happened to I seen on the internet there are many with this problem. The battery rock gard fell apart under the car the radiator had to be replaced and the front steering rebuilt. It always needs a upgrade sometimes you pay for it sometimes you dont . I think they play with the parameters of your charging for your battery so that they don't have to replace it under warranty. By the way You should look up it is to replace the main drive battery .your not gonna like it. Worst car I ever bought.

I leased a Chevy volt for 2 years and didn’t really like the car, it was just a really strange car, In my opinion I think if your going to drive a volt you better live somewhere where it is warm all year round Bc the battery’s freeze when it gets really cold out which causes the car not to start, and that happen to me all the time, so that’s kinda why i didn’t care for the Chevy volt so much.

Have had this car for about a month now. Topped off the gas tank when I bought the car and have not been to the gas station since. The styling is beautiful. In fact, I have been stopped by strangers on several occasions to discuss the car. The car is comfortable and has a solid feel while driving. The instrument panel is comphensive, the Bose radio sounds beautiful, having OnStar and the OnStar app on my phone is a real helpful feature.
