The volt is an awesome car!

I have no problems with my volt. It is sporty, comfortable, very smooth riding. I love not having to purchase gas very often. It has lots of power to be able to merge into traffic. It is a very a quiet vehicle. The radio is great, it has Bose speakers which sounds great. Heated seats work great in the winter. My volt came with not only rear sensors, but also front sensors. The rear camera is very wide ranged and very clear. S. I purchased my volt in december of 2014. I have not had any issues at all. I have had it serviced on a regular basis, keep it clean and is garage kept at night. It is all touch for the controls such as the radio, seat warmers, climate, CD player. There is a center console. Storage on the top of the dash and the rear seat console. There are very comfortable bucket seats in the back too. Love my volt!

Nuances of the volt, environmentally friendly and versatile.

You need to add a 220 outlet to charge faster. The utility company may want you to register that you have an electric vehicle with them. This year has a 25-33 mile range before using gas to run the generator. The cargo area especially with the seat down is great. Also you cannot use it for ride share because it's a 4 seater.

Very reliable. I miss doing maintenance on a car.

I rarely use fuel, and it is good on gas when I use it. The acceleration is smooth at all speeds. I have all the power I want when I want it. Comfortable to sit in as well.

2016 Chevy volt - a great option until the all electric future is here.

Love the electric with gasoline because I gave charge stations in the area so having gas backup relieves stress. Great performance for an electric - I get great mileage out of it and never feel underpowered. Wished it wasn't a hatchback though. Love the electronics and luxury features. Have a problem with it occasionally not recognizing when in park.

Charging stations are not free, I've found that most people think that they are.

I love how good on mileage this car is. I'm not fond that I don't have anywhere to charge my car given that I live in an apartment and the charging stations are ridiculously expensive.

The Chevy Volt has all of the advantages of a gasoline powered car while also having an electric option

Car gets excellent electric mileage and is very sporty in electric mode. The backup gas generator extends the rage of the vehicle to that of traditional gasoline cars.

Karen C

My car looks great and runs great. Has cruise control and is really accurate.

My car is really cost efficient. The air conditioner is great. It is easy to drive. Great radio. With backup camera. Has power windows and power locks. Has also push button start. It is a small car so it is very easy to park. It runs smooth. It has button power on adjustable seats. Love my trax.

Tricia T

We are saving a ton of money on gas, compared to our other vehicle.

It is the first car I've owned with a back up camera and I really like that. It is very comfortable and easy to drive. Two complaints - I wish it had a longer charge (more than 46 miles) and I wish there was at least some storage (trunk-like) rather than just the hatchback with flimsy cover.

Negative Owner Reviews

Katharyn B

Reliable enough, but not made for tall people.

I am a tall person and this car is absolutely not made for tall people. I do not feel like I can sit properly in the front seat which has caused back problems. And because I have to sit with my seat all the way back, no one can sit in the back seat. It is reliable enough with no major issues, but I will not be keeping it for much longer.

Michelle D

I like being able to drive to work with a full charge and make it back to work.

The front window has limited visibility when driving around winding roads, it can be hard to see because the paneling is very quick. Also, the car does not go uphill and operate in the mountain highways very well. The engine says that it's at its max, but I am only trying to go the speed of traffic on the uphill highways.

Volt hybrid plug-in & gas.

Pretty comfortable little car seems to perform well but do not like the fact the electric part does not last well if you turn on any heat it uses twice as much battery. There is no spare tire & that kind of scares me. And it seems to have some of the electric stuff jump around a bit.

Chevy volt: electric, but maybe not electrifying.

It is really great for mileage and the flexibility of having electric only, but it is not very comfortable. It performs better than comparable vehicles, such as a Prius, but it is hardly sporty. I find it to be a fairly attractive car in comparison to its competitors. So far not one problem 65k in. If I get 150k out of it with no major issues, I'll give it 4 out of 5.

I love my Chevrolet volt.

The Chevrolet volt is a plug-in hybrid and I am on electricity most of the time. I have about a 40 mile range. When we go on a long road trip it changes to gasoline seamlessly when the battery is used up we plug in at any hotel we are staying at and are ready to go again the next day. Around town I am only on electric and plug in to a regular socket in the garage each time I get home. I love it! I rarely buy gas.

Pros from Owners

Jaime M.

The plug in hybrid cuts our gas bill by half. Cargo access makes hauling large items easy. It is a very comfortable ride even on long road trips. The car has been solid for us with very few issues. It has good horsepower and a nice turning circle. Plus, the Bose speakers are great for listening to music.

Quintin S.

The electric distance is good only if you drive short commutes. You can charge it with any outlet in the home but it takes 8 hours to fully charge. Great pickup and handling and with the seats down there's a lot of cargo room.

Maria E.

Gas saver, great sound system, comfy seats, excellent drive, fast, silence drive, smart car, never fails. Pretty car, charge very fast energy saver, lot of space in the trunk this car is anybody that likes to save money.

Cons from Owners

Jaime M.

Only has a 32 mile electric range. Because the car has bucket seats in the back, it only seats four people total. I wish it has Apple CarPlay. The voice command can be frustrating at times because it does not always understand what I am saying.

Quintin S.

Slow home charging, there are few public charging stations. It sets very low to the ground. It is only a 4 seater so if you wanted to make extra cash driving for a car service you cannot because those vehicles must be 5 or more passengers.

Maria E.

I have not found any cons in this car. Nothing to say. Well. Air conditioner vents can be useful if. They were in place for the back passenger seats and also more USB ports. I really love if the range is longer, also needs wipers on the back glass.
