This is my 3rd chev volt premier. It is a very safe car. My current mileage is 124 mpg on the dash board. I get 40+ mpg on an extended trip average speed over 60 mph. The car has not had gasoline added in over a year. My electric home bill is about .37 cents a day on average. I am retired and this is the best car I have ever owned. Chevy can not be beat with this EREV. To bad to sad to you suckers who do not own one.

Incredible transportation, a pleasure to drive!

Purchased new, i have owned and operated vehicle for two and a half years. It is a pleasure to drive: comfortable, very quiet, 90% of my driving has been in electric mode. In the 2 1/2 years I have driven only 10,500 miles, however I have only used about 25 gallons of gas. It is a very enjoyable ride with sufficient acceleration when required. Incidentally, in the past twenty years I have owned two Lexus. One was a new 2002 RX 300 and the other a 2004 SC430 Convertible coupe. I enjoyed both very much, however the Volt definitely owns its place among these vehicles as far as excellence in an automobile goes.

What's not to like? The best electric range of any PHEV (up to 70 miles in summer) and 380 miles additional miles from regular gas (9-gallon gas tank) after that. Minimal maintenance, loaded with tech and a great price before GM discontinued the Volt in 2019.

This car is excellent. Smart, sporty, cargo space, comfortable and cheap to drive. Reasonably priced. Seriously though, why didn't chevy promote these better?? Update: I love the car BUT 3rd party warranty is just about worthless. Basic repairs take several attempts/submissions before they are approved. I had my shifter wiring harness go out and it took two weeks to get the repair approved. Even though I had rental vehicle coverage they only approved two days worth, and that stated once they approved the repair! Totally unusable.

Go Electric

Just had the 2018 Volt for three days. This was a replacement for a 2012, that was a great car. The technology is awesome, and other car makers are just now finding out what we have known for several years, extended range electric is the only way to go. For me the 2018 Volt is just a newer upgraded version and so far I’m very impressed.

Disappointed

This car is a piece of junk. I cant emagine how GM claims that it charges for 53 miles but it barely charges 40 (brand new). It should be illegal for them to claim that but I guess they can get away with it. Stay away from this, it’s not worth it.

I’m very happy with the car so far. It’s got the perfect balance of flare and function. You’ve got your around town miles covered with an all electric power train and for longer journeys the gas generator kicks in. Plus a pre owned Volt is an EV that’s actually affordable. Consider this as a value add. For a few hundred dollars you can add an inverter to your Volt and turn it into an emergency backup generator! I love this car.

Love everything about it EXCEPT the space.

Love the car. It looks stylish and classy. I hardly pay for gas, and I got the federal and state tax rebates, and carpool stickers. My one complaint is the lack of space. It's basically a compact 4-seater, and not much leg room.
