We live in southern California and plug-in electric cars get to use the HOV (car pool) lane even if they are the sole occupant. I drove the Volt twice and my wife drove it twice. Overall I was impressed with the technology and the electric range. But we just could not get over how cramped it felt, especially in the back seat. Just didn't feel safe with your head being just inches from the side window. I am not a Prius fan but I will say that Chevy could learn a thing or two about packaging by looking at the Prius. If this car was bigger and had more room, we likely would have bought it. Seems like Chevy was fixated on giving it a big electric range at the cost of interior space. I would have gladly traded 5-10 miles of range for a car that was bigger.

I don't have my 2016 Volt anymore, but I got a new 2018 one. I like it as much as my old one. The way I drive I can easily get 60 miles on one charge. Too bad Chevrolet has stopped making them. I wish they will come up with something similar.

I like everything about this car except visibility out the back and it's not all wheel drive. The plug in feature is why I bought it. I hope to own it until Lexus comes out with a plug in.

The only other car I have owned was a Ford Escape (compact SUV). Although I am sad about how little I can pack into my car (moving is going to be tough) and I feel bad for any passengers who are 6' tall or taller (there isn't much head room), I still am really happy with the change. The car rides amazing and I absolutely love that I am not buying gas. I charge it over night for it to get 46 all electric miles, the blind spot monitors and parking assist are pretty nice. Since it is a 2016 I don't get the fancy cruise control found in the 2017, or the half charge time (found in the 2019). But still, I really love this car.
