#1
Wow this a hecck of a car
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: I am very happy with vehicle, a perfect retirement car.
I am able to do all my running around and use a drop of gasoline. Cons: Very low front bumper, and rear hatch is heavy Overall: Excellent Vehicle and is worth the wait...

#2
Fun and Practical
Source: Edmunds

...The Volt is a great mix of performance, technology and practicality.
The electric motor provides substantial torque which makes the car feel more powerful and responsive than most cars on the road.
On a single charge I am able to drive about 38 miles (mostly freeway driving).
That's enough to get me to and from work with a little juice left over.
However, the gas engine is a great backup if I need to take a longer trip.
I have driven almost 500 miles and only used 1.3 gallons of gas so far. Charging is so easy. The Volt comes with a charger you can plug into any...

Better than my 540i

..."I know the title is saying a lot, but I mean it sincerely. The Volt is absolutely the best car I've ever driven. It's quick, nimble, stylish, and simply incomparable from a technology standpoint...

My Volt impresses everyone, but mostly me!

..."I've had my Volt since 12/18/10, and it's been the most satisfying car purchase I ever made.
The car looks fantastic in person, inside and out, and everyone I show it to and take for a ride seems very impressed...

The future of the Automobile
Source: Edmunds

...I have had my Volt for one month and am impressed with this vehicle.
It is more refined than I expected. The ride and handling is very good especially for a 3700 lb vehicle. The seats are very comfortable. I like this car so much that I have ordered a second one...

#7
I love my Volt more then my Ferrari...
Source: Edmunds

...As an enthusiastic car lover/collector/enthusiast, the Volt is about the coolest car I have ever owned, I have VIN 772.
This thing has exceeded all my expectations in Quality, Styling, Ride, Acceleration, Efficiency.
Chose to lease it for $350 a month and will most likely buy it at the end of the lease.
My Lifetime MPG is 137 with a little over a 1k miles driven so far, which includes two 150 mile trips.
Free Onstar for 5 years with nav downloads and hands-free blue tooth, this car is better then my old E class Mercedes, rides about the same.
Wife and I literally...

#8
Best car I've ever leased.
Source: Edmunds

...I get in and out of leases all the time. I've had the S4, X5, 550i, 335 coupe, and a few others.
Nothing compares to this car. The others handled better and were quicker (except the X5) but overall the Volt hangs just fine.
If you put it in power mode - it will really move.
And the fact that I've yet to burn any gas... wow. It's an amazing feeling. Oh... and I didn't see any increase in my electrical bill compared to last year. So far it's been the same...

#9
A SPORTY AND STYLISH GAME CHANGER
Source: Edmunds

...When I first read that GM was coming out with an EV and that it would only get 40 miles per charge and then use a gas engine generator after that I was very disappointed.
I thought why bother? After all I had built a BEV in 2001 that had a 70 mile range.
But as I continued to read about the Volt and think about what GM was trying to do with it, I realized this was an absolute brilliant interim solution to the current EV catch-22.
Batteries are too expensive and performance too limited to make a pure EV viable, a pure EV wont be viable until batteries are cheaper and performance...

#10
A Home Run!
Source: Edmunds

...I purchased my Volt and took delivery on December 18, 2010.
I've gone about 1500 miles so far and burned about 20 gallons of gas, mostly due to a few long trips [200 miles each].
Even on those trips, my mileage was in the 40-50 mile range.
My overall mileage is about 75mpg. But when I was not taking those trips, I could easily drive around town, to work, etc, on the 40 miles or so range, using all battery and electric drive.
There is nothing better than that! The car drives solidly, crisp turning, and more than decent acceleration.
The best acceleration is in LOW...
