I have owned this car for 11 months. I have driven it 5000 miles and burned 4 gallons of gas. The volt is fun to drive and has performed flawlessly.
We Love our VOLT

45,783 miles since new and it has used 267.5 gallons of gas which is 171.2 MPG and 69.6 MPGe. Fun to drive. Hardly uses any gas! Quick. Chevy should still be building these! This is a Range-extended Electric Vehicle. The gas engine only starts when the battery is discharged. Charge at home with 110v and it is fully charged overnight and ready for over 50 miles of electric driving and the gas engine will seamlessly take-over and operate as a Hybrid-electric for the next 350+ miles if you need to travel.

Great for commuting! 34 mile commute, saving $300/ month on gasoline and tolls. Car has been fine- no faults at all- but the portable charge cord has failed and GM was sticky about replacement; an certified tech must verify the cord is at fault, apparently. The Volt is still nimble and quick in traffic. Plenty of range for my commute, and an occasional trip to SoCal can be made with one gas stop. 5/2021- 58,000 mi., finally time for new tires. The brake pads are still original- the regenerative braking causes no wear. The savings on gasoline and oil changes is significant. No loss of range from the battery. 11/2021- The "Shift to Park" fault has hit my car. It is a underspec'ed switch that fails and prevents the car turning 'off'. Warranty item, but the dealer wants the car brought by for the special Voltec technician to diagnose and they won't commit to the repair at the same time.

A very nice car totaled for no good reason.

I really liked my 2018 Volt with 16k miles. I had a very repairable fender bender, but it needed a new rear quarter panel and lights. GM could not / would not provide parts. Their excuse was that the plant is closed and the tooling is gone. I suspect this violates some federal regulation. After three months and getting the state commissioner of insurance involved, they totaled it. I don't understand their decision to discontinue it. The Voltec drivetrain is a great concept. In a small town with a 50+ mile electric range, I rarely burned gas.

Definition of a sleeper car!

It may not look it with the statistics, but the 2018 Volt has a soul and heart of a sports car! It does lack in top speed, but it’s acceleration and handling is stellar! For a compact car, its quite roomy for luggage and passengers (except the back seats) it’s fierce looking too! A sports car doesn’t have to go twice the speed of this car! It’s comfy and cozy, and has a good atmosphere! It’s a very intelligent car with parking sensors, adaptable cruise control, and Bluetooth! It may not be like Lightning McQueen but it can talk! It’s Bluetooth is a little annoying so I wouldn’t recommend engaging in a conversation! For many car guys like me, this is the perfect sports car that you can afford!

New 2018 Owner

Have owned 2018 Volt for almost one month. Instead of enjoying “new car owner” experience I’ve spent most of my month with various loaners from dealership and researching lemon laws as Volt has had reoccuring issues including propulsion issue and electronic stability control vehicle trouble codes.

Happy Buyer except Seatbelt Dinger&window stickers

Very pleased with the car except for issue [1] - Chevy keeps using driver side window stickers with glue that cannot be removed. These stickers inhibit driver vision and must be removed. When the sticker is removed, a large area of sticky glue remains that catches the rubber window seal and attempts to tear it loose, while making a terrible sound as the window goes up and down. To remove the glue residual, the buyer must use something like gasoline or GOO-BE-GONE to soften the glue so a rag can remove it. After the glue is removed, there is an oily residue remaining, that must be removed with a window cleaner. This 30-minute exercise is not appreciated as I recall I had the same problem on the last Chevy I purchased. Issue [2] - Seatbelt dinger is adjustable from very loud to painfully loud. Wife does not like driving the new car with such a loud seatbelt dinger. I cannot resolve and believe dealer will not consider an actual fault that requires repair.

Dead in the Water

Can loose all power while in motion! Gas engine can rev making the steering wheel brake non functionable, and when not expecting that, this is extremely dangerous. Chevy has reprogrammed some software on my car and they say that will solve the loss of power while moving issue. I hope so. The revving issue is normal per the shop foreman. Really?! The seats sit so low, and so far behind the B-post that the vehicle is difficult to get in and out of, and has caused my back some serious issues. There are very serious blind spots, even with the mirrors! On the positive side, it is enjoyable to drive an EV. Approx. 40% of EV range is lost when the temperatures outdoors are in the 30's (F) and below. The MPG as displayed on the instrumentation has steadily decreased to about 59 now, and having started around 75. Haven't had the car in hot weather yet. The seating material is really cheap! Lastly, for now, there is a driver's left foot rest pedal that is absolutely in the worst possible spot and very uncomfortable.

My 2018 Chevy Volt

I purchased my 2018 Chevy volt 3 days ago. I already charged it twice. Sadly the EVGO fast changing stations do not charge my car. It takes me about 6 hours to charge my car at a Charge Point station. I drive a lot that is why I picked a hybrid. I did not want a full EV vehicle because I drive into México a lot and would stress out of there were no charging stations. So far I do like the car. I put it at Car Max on Kearny Mesa from Rey. Car Max told me there were no recalls and found out there was one recall. So do not always believe what Car Max says about recalls on vehicles. Certain 2016-18 model years Chevy Volt vehicles may have a condition related to high voltage battery.Which could gradually lose the ability to maintain voltage. Chevy notice was received from the Chevy app I downloaded: Dealers are to update the hybrid powertrain control module 2.
