This is a great car if your looking for excellent fuel economy and good interior and exterior styling. I'm comparing this car to my 2003 G35 which I still own and is running well. We are saving quite a bit of money on fuel costs. We are on an EV electical rate and our electric bill is $50.00 less. This is not counting the $150.00 less we are paying for gasoline. GM gave some great incentives to make the purchase affordable. 0% finanincing, $1,000 rebate. We are also eligible for a $7,500 federal tax credit and a $1,500 state credit.

Electric range is only 38 in various conditions and not 54. Inverter has the poisonous gas fumes coming off it, specially when starting the vehicle. Climate control temperature does not heat up unless you go up to 80. Dealer repair shop looked at and after all calibrations etc. says this is the way it is with these cars.

For a $40,000 there are several unexplainable shortcomings. There is no garage door opener. The audio system is billed as high-end, yet does not have a CD player.

GM Fumbles the Ball - Again

Finally test drove a Chevy Volt today. Pretty underwhelming experience. The key fob is the size of a small cell phone, reminding me of 1980s vintage remotes. There is a tremendous amount of cheap plastic, vinyl, and other substandard materials sourced from the low-end of the GM parts bin in this vehicle. Under the hood, I found lots of electrical tape and exposed wires - typical GM quality. Engine was actually assembled in Mexico. The hood has a strange overhang that obstructs part of the front windshield, creating a bathtub effect. The car has large flared fenders in the rear that make the vehicle seem as wide as a typical mid-size car, but in reality the passenger compartment is claustrophobic. Rear seat room is a complete joke. The middle seat is basically unusable. The left rear and right rear passenger seats are incredibly snug, leaving very little legroom. Passengers over 5'11" will find that the top of their heads sit less than an inch from the window in the rear hatchback. Brake feel was uneven and stopping distance was disappointingly long. Windshield wipers remind me of the Ford Fiesta or the Chevy Spark - very cheap and flexible with blades that drag across the windshield even in heavy rain. The trunk is incredibly shallow, in spite of the fact that no spare tire is provided. The only thing that impressed during the test drive was the electric drive. The powertrain operated silently and delivered acceptable performance on the highway. The 2016 Volt redesign improved a ridiculous car to the point that the vehicle is now below average. Hopefully Chevy will get this vehicle right in Gen 3, but for now I would stay away from the Volt and any other Chevrolet product.
