Used 2017 Chevrolet Volt Hatchback Consumer Reviews

This is a cool car

I bought this car after my TDI got caught up in Dieselgate. Its really fun to drive with zippy acceleration due to the electic. On top of that, you get the added benefit of supporting a solution to climate change and city air pollution. I bought it because I wanted to be greener, but was thrilled on how fun to drive the car was. I compared it to a used 2014 BMW Diesel 328, and the driving experience was similar. Not bad for 22K in CO after the tax breaks.

Still need PHEVs

GM called it "over engineered" how that translates to me is, its to expensive to build and not enough profit per unit. A well equipped mid sized car that will go 50+ miles on $1 worth of electricity then another 300 miles on 8 gallons of gas. 45 mpg Seems pretty sensible to me. Until there is a reliable, accessible, affordable (or free) public charging system EVs will continue to be limited. This is a great car and great idea. Best of both.

Preowned Volt

This is a great car which was purchased for my wife. I preferred the all electric Bolt, which was also purchased. As long as you don't drive more than 45 miles a day (or between changing) then this is a great car, especially if you can find a preowned 2016 or 2017. But get the Premier model, not the LT. it is definitely worth it.

Loving the Volt

Volt Is The Ultimate, except in cold climates.

Limitations of MPG in gas (SC) mode in the low 40's or less.
