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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
