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.

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.

My second Volt

I liked my 2015 Volt so much I bought another one. Plenty of room for me and a passenger. Back seat leg room not much, but would be okay for children. Car rides very good, handles great, acceleration is super especially in sport mode. My average economy is 94.6 mpg. I spend time on freeway or my economy would be well over 100 mpg. Cargo space is very good in this hatchback. I got a chevy floor mat for the cargo space that was designed for a Equinox. The mat is actually about 3 inches to small for the area. That should tell you something. With the back seats down, there is a lot of room for golf clubs, bowling balls, etc. The tax rebate makes the cost about 25000. My car is the red tint coat and the paint job is great. After I put about 3 layers of Zanio on, it will really look great. Car still does everything Chevrolet said it would do. I have owned for 3 years now and had not one problem. Not a great vehicle on snow though. I have purchased a 2007 Mercury Mariner 4 wheel drive for winter.

Just what I wanted and expected

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!
