Great commuter car -spare car
Pros: Great mileage. Plug in at 8pm, usually full charge by am. Warm days bring better electric miles (~48) cold days (~30). I only commute a few miles to work, so this is perfect for my situation. Quiet (no rattles). My German shepherd's preferred vehicle -lol (vs. LexisRX350). Nice to have range extender engine that gets decent mileage. entertainment system easy to understand. Car settings easy to change and understand. Nice to have on-star for free (3years). Low Mainteneance (so far). Driver layout, cup holders, front Instrument Panel Storage with outlet (great for gps unit or phone connection). Remote App (to locate car, Open Locks, Warm car up etc. Cons: No spare tire, Large front pillars (visibility), rear leg-room (expected), Window flutter noise (when one/two windows open - all windows have to be open), Black Paint (to hot when sun is out) - then you need to use Air Conditioning which depletes electricity. Low front clearance (rubber scrapes over little driveway inclines. Seat warmers s/b std. equipment. hard to judge front end when parking. Weekends (when everybody wants to use car) running totally on Electric becomes an issue (do not have quick charging unit).

Better than a Prius by far!
I was disappointed at first but my issues were from a dealer lot issue and not the company so I'll try to be fair in my review. I have had a couple of priuses and I have to say the Volt is a better car, it's smother, quieter, and feels safer to drive. You do have to read your manuals to fully understand the operational side of the vehicle. I don't think it's a five star car but comes close. Performance for a car this small is a four, comfort gets a four needs better seats. Value is a four price needs to come down. Econo car fun to drive gets a four. Interior/exterior gets a three due to missing some things of the assembly line. Build quality a three and Reliability to soon to tell.

uncomfortable seat
drivers seat is to small for a person that sits with a wider berth. left leg tends to rest over the seat bolster, there is a seam in the top of the bolster that presses into my thigh. I find it difficult to find a comfortable way to place my leg. this is my only down side feeling of this car.
2014 Volt Rocks!
We purchased a new Volt after careful contemplation and evaluation of alternatives available. We have never owned a hybrid or electric car. We haven't purchased a new car from a US automaker in over 20 years. Update: car has been very dependable over the three years we have owned it. We have owned this car for about a month now. So far, it has exceeded our expectations in all regards: comfort, performance (it is quick- particularly in "sport" mode), energy efficiency, build quality. UPDATE: 8/20/16 We have had the car for 2 1/2 years now. The car continues to impress. We have not experienced a noticeable loss in battery storage. The car is incredibly dependable. We had a rattle in the rear hatch repaired about 12 months into ownership- no other maintenance problems. Our electric bill is not noticeably higher than before we purchased the Volt and plugged it in. The car handles very well on curves, at highway speed, around town and in the snow. Good job GM!
