I've been buying cars for over 50 years. The Volt is like no other. The smooth quiet power is nicer than any V8 I've owned. I've had my Base Chevy Volt here in PA for 7 years. Four oil changes.. been to a gas station 8 times. I've used just 6.2 gallons of gas in the last year.. to go 8,300 miles of hard hilly stop and go city driving. I'm averaging over 715 mpg since I owned the car!! I have a wattmeter on the charger that indicates that the car is costing approx. 2.4 cents per mile for electricity... $25/month.. use the range extender maybe once a month... but was sure glad I have the extender. It's nice to NOT have any range anxiety. Been to the gas station 8 times in 7 years... already saved at least 300 trips to the gas station... four oil changes in 7 years... and the oil and filter are very easy to change myself. Have not had a single problem with this car.... feels extremely solid... still very fun and relaxing to drive. I paid $22,900 for my Volt .. not to often you can buy the best engineered car in the world (as per over 128,000 SAE automotive engineers around the world) for that much. Brakes are still at 95%. almost like new after 53K hard city miles... never seen anything like it.

Have put 6k miles on my Volt and I am very happy with the purchase. My work commute is about 20 miles a day round trip. I've used 18.6 gallons of gas since I bought it. The Volt performs like a champion off a green light and in heavy highway traffic. Absolutely no issues getting where I need to go and moving at the pace I need to free myself of oblivious drivers. This car glides like glass, and I climb hills everyday. Shift into Sport mode and it's a golf cart on steroids; I routinely outrun german cars. I've been in Audi's for 10 years, and traded an A4 for the Volt.

My wife drove our Volt to a friend's house. When she parked and turned off the car, she realized that she had parked someone in She quickly pushed the power button and shifted to reverse. Nothing happened! The power button was lit on the console but there was no power. Pushing the power button again gave the message: "initializing--wait to shift" This continued for about an hour until the car sensed the battery was running down and shut itself off . After the shutdown, it restarted and operated normally but for an hour it was dead! Chevy told us they had never seen this. We conclude you absolutely must wait for everything to come up before shifting! Software needs a fix.
Volt rocks!

I have driven my Chevy Volt about 2000 miles so far. I've used about 2 gallons of gas. The car handles well and has very good acceleration. This is my first American car. Previously Honda/Acura guy. I can honestly say that I'm very happy with the car.
Great car poor dealership experience

Love the car. Fun to drive. Zippy. Haven't put any gas in it since I bought it 3 weeks ago. Doesn't stink up the garage like my wife's car when I start it. Usually recharges fully on 110 Volt circuit overnight. The bad. 2 weeks after getting the car the "service airbag" light came in. Took it to the Chevy dealership which was a super poor customer service experience and they told me that the passenger presence system had failed and to fix it would cost $775. No thank you. I will investigate other ways to fix it. The infotainment center is a nightmare and the stock sound system is pathetic. You can forget about finding or changing anything below the screen. Good luck trying to change the radio to usb too. For an almost $40 K new MSRP, they could have put some $12 speakers in instead of $2 ones. Perhaps the GM engineers should actually go out and listen to some music? Same thing for the seats. No lumbar support in a car of this value???? Come on. How long had GM made car seats? Have they learned anything??? No power drivers side seat adjustments either. Guess they skimped to save money. Too bad.
