Still luv this car. Since the AC hose needed replacement. Have EGR high pressure code Dreded 401. Looked at ALL owner posts. Found a good local mechanic. Identifed dirty temperature sensore and dirty cooler. Cleaned both. No issues. before changing ANY thing on the EGR system, have mechanic test and possibly clean. Also, STOP using gas without detergents. Like non-name brand stations. Finally had enough. The car 'Bricked' had to get towed 90 miles. My Mechanic identified a bad HV battery cell. So needs to be replaced. Absolutely no support from ANY Chevy dealer of GMC HQ. Found a company that would swap with reconditioned one for 14k$. Really, decision time. NO MORE EV for me. Back to reliable and part supported ICE. Great choice. It's actually greener than the Fraud EV. Based on MPG vs miles per KW. even at almost 4$ per gal. I support EV by choice. Not the soon to be mandate. So much for the average working man affording an EV. Too bad. I thought GM had a winner. OOPS. not so much.

One Saturday morning, I visited a Cadillac dealer, 2017 ATS. Left to ponder what options I wanted. Before returning, I stopped by a Chevy dealer. Test drove a 2017 Volt, got hooked, then purchased. WOW. I'm now an EV devotee. My wife now drives a Cadillac and I drive the Volt. I can't understanding why GM (Chev) has not promoted or improved the Volt. Great car, great concept. So much so that Honda, for 2018, has a plug-in hybrid call Clarity. The Honda Clarity looks just like the Volt! Hummmm.

This is my second Volt. I owned 4 Prius vehicles prior to my first volt. I traded my prius for the premiere 2012 Gen1 and loved the car, but having owned the 2017 premier Volt for 2 months, I'm blown away with the greatly improved Gen2. I just fill my gas tank after driving 2027 miles. The electric range is greatly improved and routinely get far better than the rated 53 mpg by GM. Since its only my wife and I, the back seat is never used, so the 5th seat doesn't matter to us. The 2 rear bucket seats are great for the grandkids with the center 5th seat excellent for a child seat. The Gen2 premier is packed full of electronics and safety features. I have the comfort package 1 and 2, ambient lighting that my wife just loves and the radio/nav package. The apple carplay is also a very nice feature if you own a IPhone 5 or newer. If you don't have or want the GM nav feature, CarPlay maps works really well for navigation. I am extremely pleased with the Gen2 and have no complaints.

The 2017 Volt is truly a second generation car. Whereas the first generation was unique, the second generation is more in line with the latest generation Chevrolet vehicle/setup. The improvements are obvious . . . longer range, quicker, brake paddle, regular fuel, and technology. Unfortunately, they took out a couple of nice things like the HomeLink, side mirror signals, and rear door pockets. BUT I'm still very pleased with the 2017 especially the range and BRAKE PADDLE. These cars are fun to drive and they are reliable. Other than the cord recall back in 14 and the software update in 15, I have not had one issue . . . plus much less gas and much less maintenance. My wife has the 2014 and loves it. Keep up the good work on the Volt. I will add/update to the review after a year but if this model performs in line with my 2012 and my wife's 2014, it will continue to receive high marks. After a year . . . still a big Volt fan. I found a used 2014 ELR (based on first generation Volt) and am enjoying it. Not as utilitarian as the Volt but fun to drive.

I owned a 2011 Prius 4 for about five years before purchasing a 2017 Volt. I loved the Prius for its fuel economy, its practicality, and its spaciousness, (felt like it had more room than the gas guzzling BMW X-3 I drove and never fell in love with years ago). Having said this, Chevy Volt is in a different class than Prius. The Volt drives like a luxury sports sedan, I get about 65 miles per charge (I've stopped at a gas station once after driving the car about 1100 miles and still have half a tank left). The controls are very intuitive, the seats are comfortable, integration of iPhone and center display is user friend, it runs very quietly with minimal cabin noise, it drives very tight, and Driver Confidence packages are great additions that are reasonably priced. The minor improvements that could make this car even better would be the addition of a Homelink device and a spare tire (many EVs don't come with spare tires anyway). The visibility is a bit limited but the Driver Confidence packages more than compensates for this. We got a screaming deal with $1000 instant rebate, $1500 California rebate, $7500 federal income tax rebate, and 0% financing. My wife has a plug in Prius 2014 and she loves driving my car now. On a global scale, it is reassuring to know that GMC has invested more than $450 million dollars on its Battery research/development/production in its Detroit plant involved in making EVs. Not only it is a reason to be proud of cars made in America, but this investment also makes me feel reassured that GMC is committed to development of EVs and will stand behind the Volt. "The Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant is the world’s only automotive plant that mass-produces extended-range electric vehicles – including the Volt, Cadillac ELR and Opel Ampera – for markets in 33 countries." http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2014/Apr/0408-investment.html
