Used 2017 Chevrolet Volt Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Love it
Having 50 miles of range is great for most of the driving but knowing gas is there too for longer trips is great

Really smooth propulsion
Just bought a 2017 Chevy Volt LT (it is Sept 2020). I already love it. I have read of other owner experiences with a few known bugs that end up being covered under warranty, and feel ready to not freak out when/if they happen. Lots of info on the Reddit thread for volt owners. The propulsion is very smooth. My prior car ownership has been a 19?? Aerostar, 2003 Odyssey, 2003 Focus, and 2005 Tucson. This volt is the zippiest thing I've ever driven (although the Focus was fun). I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do on electric only since my driving is mostly within a 5 to 17 mile radius in Southern California with a few 425 mile trips a year to the mountains. Will report back when I've had more time under my belt. I am finding YouTube and Reddit extremely helpful in learning how to best handle the new-to-me volt.

Shocking
The volt was nice but price was shocking compared to other cars with great fuel mileage but aren't hybrids. The difference doesn't seem to me to be a value. Prices need to be better if they expect to get people to get green. 21 grand is a lot for a 4 year old used car. Couple grand more you have a new civic or corolla with 42 miles to the gallon. And a warranty.

Typically poor Chevy quality
Our 2017 Volt is great fun to drive once you are in it. It's electric drive is smooth and more responsive than any gas engine we've ever driven. But the interior is poorly designed - hard to get into and oddly cramped for its size. The driver's side cupholder, for example, is right under your right elbow, which makes it pretty much unusable for carrying anything bigger than a cell phone. Nice ergonomic planning there. Much more important, though, is the lack of mechanical quality. Within six months of ownership at less than 20,000 miles, the Onstar module went out. Now its power harness is shot as well - the thing that senses its in park so you can turn it off. More than $650 to fix and, of course, not covered by Chevy's paper thin 'warranty.' I will never buy another Chevy or, probably, GM product again. Feeling a little like we all got took for bailing it out in 2009. Nothing much has changed.

Amazing automobile - amazing price
55 miles on a charge. I have owned the car for a month and have never used a drop of gas. When I didn't think it could get any better, I got my HOV lane stickers and took it to another level. Amazing car.
