One of the most unappreciated cars on the market

Thanks "Obama Car" naysayers - got great car for a great price. You're loss is my gain. You may now resume sticking heads in sand.

Wish I would have bought one sooner

You name it, I?ve owned it. Bmw?s, Honda?s, Jeep, etc. and this car by far has been the best. The comfort, the style and the fuel efficiency is unbelievable. Test drive one and I promise you will want to buy it..I just wish I would have bought one sooner.

Volt Charge

I have now owned this vehicle for 3 years. I am averaging 150 mpg. Very smooth ride! This vehicle is great for stop and go driving or just sitting at stop lights. That way you don't burn any fuel.

My dream car, but a little too pricey right now

It's a great car if you can afford it. The only downside might be handling in the snow. I loved the way it went integrated the battery and internal combustion engine. I also loved the gas mileage. I like this car better than the Prius because the battery is recharged at a charging station, rather than by the gas engine. I also like this car better than the Leaf that I owned because you can only go a few miles in the Leaf and then you have to recharge. You can take this car anywhere.

Incredible Fuel Efficiency

We purchased this car brand new, received the federal $7500 tax credit, since new are at 290 MPG. The car is comfortable and accelerates car quickly. So impressed with not giving money to the oil companies we've decided to step up to a fully electric vehicle. Highly recommend this especially as a used car since they are very affordable.

Most fuel efficient car I've owned

So far this car has been great. I charge at home for about a dollar, and when they install chargers at work I can charge for free there, so 1$x30 days x 12 months = 360 dollars a year for communting. Compare that to the thousands of dollars I would spend for gas.

Love the volt. It does everything I need !

Everything about the car is great! It is comfortable and has lots of features. I drive mostly on electric and only see a gas station a couple times a year.
