Perfect car for urban living.
The Chevy volt is perfect for living in the city. Getting around town on the battery is great, and there are many charging stations. The best part is having the ability to take long trips using the gas engine, which most electric cars seem to be moving away from sadly. The biggest drawback is that Chevy no longer makes the volt, which could impact future repairs that may be needed.

Best car I could ever own. Just what I need for me with driving.
I really love the Chevy volt I just got it yesterday from the car dealership and it is the best thing I can drive. It is not a gas guzzler at all. When you plug it in at home and let it stay overnight you have a full charge and you can go 50 mi on a single charge when the battery is done then it switches to gas. For what I pay for fuel now this is a major step and really cutting the budget when it comes to gas because the prices keep going up. My car has all the bells and whistles that go along with it. What I really like is the safety features with everything you can think of and more. It is a very safe car and it handles well in both country and city and highway driving.

I have only filled up 4 times since buying the car in September!
I love my volt! I get around the city for practically nothing! I haven't noticed a major increase in my electricity bill from charging the car. My only complaint would be that the gas tank is quite small so I need to fill up frequently on long trips when the battery dies after 40ish miles.

Excellent vehicle! Spend less on monthly payments than on gas!
This vehicle has been excellent for us! It is driven 130 miles per day and uses very little gas (we are able to charge it while working). It is comfortable and roomier on the inside than it appears to be from the outside. It does not hurt that it looks sharp also! It has been a very reliable vehicle for us. The price was reasonable. The monthly payments we made were less that what our monthly gas bill would have been in any of our other vehicles. Other than regular maintenance and new tires (due to how much it is driven) we haven't had any problems with the vehicle. We like it so much we were really disappointed when Chevy stopped making the volt as we were looking forward to purchasing another one.

Love everything about it and would not change a thing.
Love it barely use gas, easy to clean, and get me to work and. Back without using gas, it makes life easier as an efficient way with all the bells and whistles. Has heated seats and a great car for road trips and easy to place people in. Help with camping and can charge anywhere.

The gas mileage and electric mileage range is awesome!
I absolutely LOVE my volt. It has greatly exceeded our expectations. The fuel economy is fabulous. I can get most places on a full charge. It is super comfortable and one of the most stylish electric cars out there! Cannot recommend enough!

Electric is best! Consider the Volt!
I can drive 45 miles on the battery charge. I gas up maybe every 3-6 months and it only has a 9 gallon tank! It's a very smooth ride, doesn't feel like a wind up car. Being electric it's good for the environment too! Love

Excellent in snow, wonderful features, but a bit confusing.
The Chevy volt does not have Bluetooth, but has a AUX cord. It is nice to drive, excellent in snow. The car likes to roll, which helps so much in ice. The trunk is a nice size, plenty of room. There are quite a lot of settings to personalize it to your settings, but very confusing at first. The charging is amazing, although the gauge feels as if it loses charge way to fast. The autostart is nice, as are the heated seats.

Maintenance is very expensive, and you can't trust Chevrolet.
Since it is an electric hybrid only certain Chevrolet dealers can do the mechanical and routine maintenance work. Many dealers charge fraudulent prices, and you are either forced to pay or spend a week going through the corporate office which will eventually force the dealer to charge you a reasonable rate. This is not a headache any normal person wants in a vehicle. Buyer beware.

Small issues, but not major mechanical.
Little leg space in back. Seats are okay. Had issues with airbag light for passenger seat sensor. Great mileage. So far, no major issues 75000 miles. Smooth drive good car overall. I would get it again. Too bad they stopped making them. It does have a small gas tank. But with a full charge can get 300 ish.

Compact powerful eco friendly car.
Great gas mileage, partial electric, eco friendly, nice looking, comfortable, easy to drive, plenty powerful, only thing I do not like is the defrost, it does not work very well to keep windshield defrosted.

Transmission went out and magically started working again.
The cars transmission had some issues and I was told I needed a new one that would cost $10k. The electric part of the car still worked, but I could only drive 40 miles at a time before I needed a charge again. The warranty had just expired. I called gm and filed a complaint that a car that was less than 4 years old should not have the transmission go out. The next month, it magically started working again and it is still going to this day. Probably will not buy another Chevy.

PHEV volt easy on the eye, the pocketbook and the environment.
My volt has been great! I am able to charge it overnight and accomplish almost all of my daily trips around town using electricity. When I take longer trips the cat switches to the gas engine smoothly and I get 35 miles to the gallon on the highway. The car handles well and is quite zippy. It has had no problems at all!

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Neamen B.

Runs well, does not need gas, and also it really quiet so it makes it really easy to drive. The car looks nice and I really like the red color. Driving it is always very smooth so it just makes the experience far easier.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Neamen B.

It is a little small car so it can be a little hard fitting people in. The roof also is shorter so for people with height it can also be difficult. It being quiet is usually a good thing but sometimes while driving people do not hear you coming.

Very good, it's comfortable, reliable and economical. It is a fun car to drive, especially around town since the electrical charge allows me less stops at the gas station

I honestly do not remember the price, maybe 14k. My car payment is $300 a month for 72 months but my credit is not great so you might be able to do better. I'd say for the price it does what it needs... Read More
