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!

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.

Good car, when it actually charges.
I have been having trouble getting my car to charge, which is frustrating because I end up using a lot more gas than I wanted to be using when I bought a hybrid. When I can get it to charge, the heater takes a lot of time to warm up while the car runs on electricity. Other than that though, the car is great. It accelerates quickly, it is comfy, and it can fit a ton of stuff in the back (I can even get a 7' Christmas tree inside the car!).

The back seats lay flat to allow for ample storage to transport large items.
Currently charges to 38-40 miles per charge. Averaging 35-37 mpg. There is a blind spot on front driver side view that presents challenges with seeing pedestrians in parking lots. Great for short distance drives, has difficulties climbing altitude. Interior is comfortable, after much use seats and upholstery in good condition.

Electricity or gasoline?
I haven't found any problems with the Chevrolet volt, other than the electrical range, I only have 40 miles of electricity and I wish it was more. The black leather seats make the car look really high end. The Bluetooth helps me make calls while driving long distances.

Great features but some bugs.
I used to have a Prius and traded it in for the Chevy volt due to the volt having many more features. I like the features that the volt has such as heated seats and tire pressure sensors. It does get great gas mileage. I get about 35 miles on one overnight charge in the summer and 20 miles on one charge in the winter months. I have had issues with this vehicle with tires. Normally I would consider that the tire company fault and not put it in a review, however, I feel that is does have something to do with the car because I have had 6 flat tires in the less than 2 years that I have bought this vehicle. They wear very strange and will be completely bald in the center and great tread on the outer part or visa versa. Flat tires become a larger issue since there is no spare in this vehicle. The only other issue that I have had is with the Bluetooth not registering and sometimes having to restart the car and sometimes it takes awhile for the display screen to catch up when playing songs.

Sporty, fun and versatile driving experience.
It is fun to drive, very reliable, easy and inexpensive to maintain. It looks sporty and cute, more than other hybrid or ev cars, and I love the way it looks. Driving it is a pleasure - the interior is comfortable and the sound system is great. Acceleration is quick, smooth and quiet, and sport mode gives an extra fun driving experience.

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.

Electric glider with some malfunctions.
Check engine light goes on but when I have it checked I am told no issues show up. I am told it is a malfunction with the electric system but cannot seem to fix it! Otherwise the car is very comfortable and drives really well. I also love the hatchback which is great to transport large items.

It is a hybrid using both electrical power and gasoline with both getting good mileage.
I find it hard to see and back using mirrors. The display / media center is hard to use while driving. Too many buttons/ icons to push to complete a task takes your attention away from driving the car.
Noway J

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.

I save $100 dollars a month on fuel when I charge the electric battery.
Great vehicle to drive and no problems since I've bought it. Only downsides are breaks take a while to get used to and electric battery is small and only offers about 30 miles per full charge.

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.

Gas mileage is excellent.
I love the size and cabin features. The large screen makes it easy to navigate and ideal when backing up.

It runs very quietly so it makes the car ride very smooth.
I like my vehicle overall it provides a smooth drive and runs well. It is a hybrid car so it is easy to charge and does not require gas very often. The car is a little small so if you are a larger person that may be an issue. I recommend this car to someone looking for a nice, smooth, and reliable drive.

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.

Saving by not using gas, and how this car does on the road.
I really like driving my car around town, knowing that I am saving on gas and doing a little bit more to help the planet. On my long trips to and from work I can get there on no gas and only use a tiny bit to get back if I charge at work. I took it on a long road trip and the gas mileage was decent, though the tank is pretty small so I still had to fill up fairly often. However in the fill up, the general cost was $20 or less depending on the location.

I like that it has electric charge,it is small,i dislike the vents
How many miles it gets per gallon, if it works, if its manual or automatic,
Denise G

It is takes us around town without using any gas.
Does not have rear wiper on the back window. Has more touch programming hard to navigate when driving instead of dials. Has only 40 miles per charge should have waited for the 50 mile charge. Had no other problems in the four years we own it. We love it.

Its hybrid, eco friendly.
I like because it saves me some money for gas, I like the engine, dislike sometimes the electric charge just randomly change, and lastly I like the new features.

Spacious and comfortable!
I have had some problems where the car stopped charging and the heater takes a long time to heat up if you are on electricity, but otherwise this car is a great size, very comfortable to drive and has not been a pain to maintain! I can fit a whole Christmas tree inside the car during the holidays, and I love being able to out the back seats down to fit large items in the back. No more relying on friends with trucks!

Everything you need in one car!
I love my Chevrolet Volt. I have owned many Chevys but this one I have been the happiest with. It is comfortable, has lots of bells and whistles and uses very little gas. In fact, when I am only driving around in town, I essentially use no gas. The car comes with Bose speakers, which is a plus, the sound is fantastic. This car also has tons of room! It seats five, but there is still a lot of room in the back for extras. You can also fold the two back seats down and have even more room. This car also has a lot of power and can really get going when it needs to! You really can't go wrong with the Chevy Volt.

Reliable electric vehicle.
Have had no issues. Owned since 2013 and have not had any work done. Love the interior and has been super reliable. Currently have about 60,000 miles on it. Been the best car I have had. I was afraid of an ev but it totally worked out. Only complaint I have had is the Bluetooth can take a bit to connect.
Robert S
on November 5, 2020
I love my Chevy volt. It is a poor man's tesla.
Allows 35 miles of electric range. Very low maintenance. Most I have had to do is change the tires. Has a oil change indicator based on the amount of none electric driving. So a longer time between oil changes. Cold weather reduces the battery range.

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!

I love my Volt. It is the best car I've ever owned.
Everyone should be driving a Volt. Not only does driving an electric car make me feel good about my carbon footprint, but the savings on gas is incredible and the performance of the electric engine is incredible. I am absolutely astonished this model is going to be discontinued by Chevrolet.

The volt is super easy to park.
I plug in my volt whenever its in the garage. I get about 50 miles on a charge. In the summer & about 38 when it's cold. I have 35000 miles since I put in gas last. Because it's mostly electric, it's very fast. The, heater & ac is very fast too. Mine has 4 bucket seats but me daughters has a bench seat in the rear.

The Chevrolet volt is a really great car!
The Chevrolet volt has classic good looks, gives great mileage, very easy to plug in and charge up and drive it also has very good handling. This is by far the very best car I have ever owned. I wish they wouldn't have stopped production of the car.
Martin G

Drive for a week on 80 cents.
Just plug it in and drive! Can go a whole month and never use any gas, if it goes into extended range mode it gets over 45 mpg! Cannot beat this car for driving around town and also long distance driving.
Julie J

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.
Marilyn A
on September 4, 2020
My Chevy volt is simply amazing!!
My vehicle is awesome 40 mike's on one charge. I rarely ever have to buy gas!! When I go on longer trips I average 40 mpg on gasoline. So far I have not had any mechanical issues with the vehicle. I love the fact that it is a plug-in vehicle that handles and drives like a sports car. I highly recommend.
Kryslyn H

This is the best car I have ever driven.
The base model is filled with everything that is usually extra and it feels like a treat every time I drive it. Knowing that I am spending so little on gas and helping the environment, too, is the best part! The seats hug you and are real leather, the driving is so smooth and zippy, it is the best.

It has a small gas tank and only 4 seats total. The upsides are that it is super efficient and overall a nice car.
Stephani B

Great commuter car, to small as a family car.
We have loved the volt overall, though the tire sensors are frequently going out and have you be replaced. We also find the bucket seats in the second row difficult with a growing family, they just are awkward and the space small for car seats. We love how easy it is to maintain and how quiet it is when running. We would get this again as a commuter car, but not as the family car.

Eco friendly vehicle for family to go in town and saving money for gas refill.
Save money for gas. Electric engine can work for 40 miles. Compatible sedan. Easy to drive. Affordable price Friendly vehicle for mom and kids Silent engine when run by electric Some problems should be improved: Camera back starting a little bit slow Sound when shut doors It should be a 5 seats sedan instead of four seats. When electric engine run out of battery, gas engine start to work but noisy
Charles H

It's great with car seats!! We have two installed.
We use it daily for work commute and do not use any gasoline. So far we average over 98 miles to the gallon. It is a little cramped and we do not use it for long hauls.

This car is most certainly Chevrolets best kept secret.
I like that I can go anywhere I want using electricity or gas and that I don't have to sacrifice any of the things I would expect from a compact car. It has many modern features and was engineered very well. Also the air conditioning is the best I have ever had. The only thing I don't like about the car is the hard seats.
Dan N
on May 4, 2020
That it is a hybrid extended plug in range vehicle.
I love the hybrid extended plug in system. I can go about 200-250 miles of its range with this vehicle. I like the interior with the nice fabric and makes it look like I am part of the solution. It is very comfortable and quiet.

Reliable and Super Fun to drive!
I’m in my 50’s and I’ve had all kinds of cars. I love this car! This one is my all time favorite so far. 150K miles and very few maintenance issues! Fun, quick, reliable and super efficient with either gas or electric.

2014 volt - great city car.
I purchased my car used a couple of years ago. Because of my easy commute to/from work and the proximity to grocery stores, etc., I knew purchasing a volt would be a great option. With minimal driving, I have gone months without refueling. Electric range is better the warmer the weather. During winter months in the PNW, I may get around 22 miles while in the summer I can get up to 40. If I had the option, I do not think I would purchase the car again if I lived in an area with extreme winters. However, I haven't had any maintenance issues with the car and regular maintenance is not as frequent as an all gas vehicle. If I lived in a more southern state and do or plan to use the vehicle for mostly city driving, then I highly recommend! Not crazy fun to drive if you are looking for something on the sporty side. All in all I am happy with my purchase.
Lisa T

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

Great car for the value
This car is great! You can’t find a better car for the price. Decent comfort and great gas mileage and the option to switch between gas and electric when you want gives this car an edge over most in its class.

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.
Susan G

Sleek, energy-efficient, comfortable.
There have been items covered by warranty (most recent was the charge port was not working correctly), and I did have to have some climate control work done about 18 months ago that was not covered by warranty ($800 or so). I wish more businesses/municipalities would provide charge stations. Overall, I love this car more than any other I have owned. It is comfortable, sleek, and I love that I am reducing my carbon footprint.

You can charge the car and it is really gas efficient.
My vehicle is really gas efficient. I can charge it at work. It is really quiet and comfortable. I don't like that only 4 people can fit in the car. The back middle part of the seat is a little console.
Ashley R

There are several different companies that manufacture car chargers. Sometimes you can even find them for free which reduces your overall cost!
The volt is a fabulous vehicle that combines being able to drive on electric with gas. I use this for long-distance trips when I can't charge my other EV.

Gas mileage and it's price. Cost of filling up gas tank. Also, the sylung is okay for a car of it's type

Electric range is very good, in summer,I get around 40-45 miles on a full charge that is enough to get through the day.
My Chevy Volt is very reliable, I haven't had any problems with it since I have owned it. It has lane departure warning and forward collision warning. It also includes heated seats.
Amy B

It is a hybrid car. You can use electricity for short trips and gas for long trips. The front seats are very comfortable.
The Chevy Volt is the best driving car that I've ever had. This is the second one that I've owned. The first one I intended to drive until I totaled it, which is what happened. I love not having to buy gas every week.
Patricia C

It runs on battery power for my commute to and from work and has very high mpg.
At times the power will cut off acceleration and takes a few seconds to kick in, it mostly happens when running off battery power and on turns. You also can't roll the windows down far or you get the air vibration noise. Otherwise it has been a good reliable car. I am happy with it.
Lisa J

The Chevrolet volt is the best in electrical cars.
The volt has a very smooth and easy acceleration, with a very nicely detailed interior and very pretty exterior, very easy to charge and maintain. Plugs into a normal household electric plug every night, very little gasoline has been purchased since I purchased the car.

A hybrid car with a hatchback which is perfect for traveling and moving.
The service light keeps coming on, but the car is very reliable. I do not like that when using the electric mode, the heater will not work, so long drives in the winter, the gas mode had to be used first. The car is a really smooth ride, but it does take a bit longer to get to top speed.
Alice S
on June 4, 2019
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.
Ray N
on May 12, 2019
Great performance considering
Great performance and I get about 35-40 miles per full charge and when it goes to gas I get about 40 miles per gallon. The biggest drawback is that it does use premium gas but I only need to get gas about every 2-3 months so it balances out. The car is also compact which is good and bad depending on your needs.

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.

I love my volt, it goes zoom!
Very reliable, nice and comfy, great on gas, electrical charge gets me about town, very convenient considering high gas prices. Comfortably seats four people. Hatch is large enough for plenty of shopping bags, luggage, and similar large objects. Very drivable and maneuverable.

The Chevy volt is a green machine!
I really love my volt for multiple reasons. I enjoy the fact that I am leaving less of a carbon footprint in the world with it being a hybrid. The gas mileage is phenomenal and has saved me thousands of dollars by this point I would guess. The battery life in this vehicle lasts well over 300k miles and so far, mine has cost very little in maintenance. The only drawback I have about the vehicle is the fact that it only has 4 seats instead of 5 and is pretty snug in the backseat.
Scott V

How economical it is to operate and how fun it is to drive.
I love being able to charge it at home overnight and very rarely having to put gas in it. It costs me $12 per month to charge it and I have only used 30 gallons of gas in 18 months. It is also a very reliable car.
