The technology and lines in this car are excellent. The handling and pick up are really good knowing that is not a sport car. The back seats are not as comfortable as the front ones, but I do not use them. First gas fill was at 1,500 miles with only 7.5 gals. I enjoy driving this car.

Coming from a 2015 Subaru Outback to a 2017 Chevy Volt is a bit of a Jolt to the nerves. I Loved my outback and probably would have continued to drive it but the number of Miles I drive every year leads to me paying almost $3,600 per year for gasoline. With the rebates and incentives from the government for early adopters of electric technology and the recent addition of fast charging to my local market I pulled the trigger. I should of slowed my roll. The Volt IS NOT DC fast charge capable so all the new gas station charging locations are useless and a full charge will never take less than 3.5 hours from empty. That is a bummer as I drive between 70 and 350 miles a day. Since Pure Electric will never be an option the Volt made sense if I could recharge during my lunch break. The Climate Controls suck. You will be cold in the winter and Hot in the summer or your battery range will be pathetic. The adaptive cruse control and lane keep assist are nice but my 2 year old Subaru had them beat flat out. There is no easy way to turn off the display for night driving. I wish one automaker would make that a home screen button it is so much easier to drive in the dark without a 9" LED blaring at you. That being said after getting my Level 2 Charger at home I am happy with the daily cost to operate and the stereo sounds Awesome. Onstar wifi is fast and my kids love using it in the car. I should have waited till the next model year perhaps they will offer power seats and fast charging. Till then I have a Volt that is quiet and very peppy while operating under electric only. It sure is nice to pull into the gas station and only be able to put in 4 gallons of gas and charging it only costs about $1.50 a day. Fast forward a couple of years and I own a Tesla Model X. The local superchargers work and all my volt complaints are erased. - A Few Years Later... My son now owns a Chevy Volt as his bridge to a Tesla as well.

We currently have two 2017 Volts (both are Premier). One has been fantastic. However, the other one (the car covered by this review) started having serious problems only a few weeks after we got it. A new car should be reliable; instead, this one has been the source of a lot of hassle, inconvenience & expense. It has been in the shop off & on now for over a month. Meanwhile, both GM and the dealer have done a poor job of dealing with these problems and our concerns. Really a shame, as we would have loved to give this car a glowing review (with 5 stars all around).

I own a 2013 Volt as well as a new 2017premier. Someone who makes decisions at Chevy is not driving theVolt. If they were some of the items I would have liked on my 2013 and what changed on the 2017 are.......2013 no power seats, really gas mileage????.....Everyone does not need or want Sirius radio crap......2017 with limited vision to the outside of the car why did they get rid of the small window in trunk, it didn't help much, but it was nice to view something to see outside instead of a dark cave....again no power seats, shame on Chevy, Chevy took away the garage buttons, did GM run out of parts, side mirrors seem smaller, I still do not want Sirius radio, no cd player(Chevy, people still have CD's),music storage on the usb could have a better system to present the song titles and playlists, Chevy cut back the Onstar service from 3years to 6 months, Chevy charging $995 for Pearls paint, but it looks exactly like white (our 2013 was a beautiful Pearl color), I like the touch buttons better than the manual buttons for volume and fan, the airflow settings are confusing, you have to press multiple combinations of buttons to get the correct flow setting, the speedometer setup is hidden by the steering wheel, it could have been placed a little lower, Chevy forces you to purchase items installed by the dealer, anyone want to purchase a$595 extension cord? and last I liked the individual look of the 2013 body, the 2017 looks like so many other cars on the road

I bought a brand new, fresh off the truck, 2017 Chevy Volt Premier, most all options. It broke down, suddenly, with a lot of popping sounds, smells, multiple malfunctions, dead engine and rapid deceleration. I was on the freeway with no shoulder. The car had only 140 miles and it was the first time the gas engine came on. Chevy says they fixed it and it appears to run like it should, which is fantastic. If it goes a couple thousand without the defect(s) recurring, then I would assume it was a fluke. Otherwise, I could argue it is the best car, it most important measures, made. In October 2017, they did multiple recalls to address the issue. The dealer was unacceptably confused by the recall and somehow managed to give me an invoice that said it was done- then notified me to bring it back because they made a mistake and it really wasn't accomplished. For a new car at $35000 in this decade, I think this is pretty mickey-mouse. On the other hand, the car goes about 58 miles on 14.5 kWh and seems to work fine at 16000 miles and 18 months driven.
