2011 Chevrolet Volt consumer reviews

We have had this Volt for 4 months and absolutely love it. It's very quiet, smooth, comfortable, handles like it's on rails, it's very reliable and extremely cheap to drive. We usually get around 50-60 mpg when we've used the gas engined generator, which isn't often, around 10 percent of our driving. Gas cost per mile is less than 8 cents. The really cheap part is driving on electricity only. We are seeing .26 to .28 kWh per mile. For us at 11.06 cents per kWh, that is under 3 cents per mile. Our old Malibu usually got 32 miles per gallon and was costing us 13 cents per mile. I don't see many if any other cars that are this inexpensive to drive.

We have driven the Volt about 3000 miles and it has exceeded all expectations. The predicted electric range was 37 miles, and we consistently get 43 or 44. The mpg for fuel mode is predicted to be in the high 30s but we have found it to be in the mid 40s. It is tight, handles like a sport car (almost) and is utterly quiet. With the goverment incentive it is also a good bargain. I did a spread sheet comparing all obvious choices (Jetta TDI, Prius) and with our kind of driving (90% under 40 miles) it proved to be the economical. I recommend it to anyone interested in a great driving experience with a high mileage auto

If you are looki g for a car that gets attention, then here it is. My experience is just like the commercial in the fact that everybody wants to know how it works and hiw I like it. And i have to say that if your willing to look past the sticker, then you will love this car. It is not fun to drive, it is an "Experience" to drive this car. This aint your grandpa's car and you will feel that the second you get in and hit the accelerator! Trust me this is one He!! Of A Ride!!!

This car should have had a Caddy badge on it. It is smooth, EXREMELY quiet, nicely appointed and is loaded with features. And as for the economy - I've had my Volt for a few weeks and I am averaging 750mpg. I have a 38 mile highway ride to my office and I can charge there for free so most days I don't use any gas. I've had to run a few errands on the way home and the car switched to gas, but I've used less than a gallon and I've traveled almost 700 miles. It is amazing.

Our company had a chevy volt for a short period of time and I had a chance to drive it.My first impression was car looks good,outside and inside designers did a pretty good job,as far as a performance volt is a big disappointment.Inside a city it did OK,as soon as you get out on a HWY you will realize oll the minuses of a Volt.There a better cars out there for the half of the price!!!

I have had my Volt sense may 2011 and have put over 10,000 miles on it. I have gone over 1,500 miles during one strech without using any gas and on a long trip went over 1,500 miles on gas without charging. That trip was with four full sized adults and luggage, including my wife who hates long car trips, even she was comfortable. While other EVs expect you to worry about the battery, the Volt takes care of it for you, with no real concerns about running out of charge. The Volt is not a cheep car, it is worth more than you will pay for it.

Not only is the my first American car, it's the first car I've ever fallen in love with. My VW, my Nissan, even my Bimmer cannot compare to this car. The ride is pure silk and the acceleration is amazing. I haven't put gas in it since I picked it up at the dealership! You can pull this steering wheel from my cold, dead hands. I am an American car convert. This thing is amazing.

If you do not want to see your money go to the middle east buy this vehicle. I drive about 35 miles per day, so I never fill-up; however if I want to go further I can with the gas assist battery generator. The electricity is about $1 per day, but again we have solar panels and we pay nothing to charge our VOLT. Running on the SUN!!!!!

When you get a car that runs on electricity and still has great styling you've got it all. This car handles beautifully on the road as well is in the city. A big car feel on a small car.

looks like GM has finally got the things going in the hybrid world, with their latest entry being Chevrolet Volt. A 5-Door Hatchback, the Volt brings a refreshing change in terms of designing. A very sharp, extended headlights give the car a very masculine feeling.The trunk has a capacity of 500 lit. . The Volt sports a 1.4L- 4 cylinder engine and a 111 KW electric motor. The best thing that excited me( and may as well excite you guys too !!!) was the plush interiors.The car is very good in handling, given that it has power steering, though i feel it could be a bit better. The car has quiet adequate cubbyhole. The brakes support ABS along with EBS. So lastly, I feel that Chevrolet Volt is truly a "car of the future". But I think that it is priced a bit expensive at 58,000 USD. Well, that is my opinion on this car. Hope you liked it.
