I have to buy gas every few months. That's embarrassing. :/

But at the same time, it is a good reminder that I used to need to buy a lot more gas at least once a week.

The Volt is wonderful in many ways, but visibility is not one of them. The nose of the Volt sticks *way* out there, and to make it worse, there is no way to see anything past the windshield and high...

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

The Volt's stock 0-60 time is under 9 seconds, not 8. And the answer to your question is: A car has to be quicker than it currently is. It is human nature to want continuous improvement. :)

Lamp Assembly: $69.55 + $6.61 (sales tax).
Labor: $60.50 + $5.75 (sales tax).
Total: $142.41.

Mine was also broken - presumably by a rock. I bought the new assembly from the dealer (surprisingly affordable) and had grand ideas about replacing it myself. Then I learned that the whole fascia...

And I have the world's smallest violin for the drivers of Road Elephants who get indignant at the suggestion of raising the gasoline tax to at least partially cover *their* externalized costs (e.g.,...

In over a year and over 11K miles, I have never traveled 50 miles on a charge.

Best: 47 miles
Worst: 24 miles
Average (winter): 30 miles
Average (summer): 40 miles

I don't find this...

Granted.

While I think that GM did an excellent job of making a complete and accurate owner's manual, the collective wisdom on this site is simply awesome. I can understand why people come here...

Berating the OP adds nothing to the conversation.

Actually, the ICE in the Volt *is* a Hemi.

I was sold on the Volt long before it existed in showrooms. I followed its development almost from the beginning right here at gm-volt.

Dude, you drive like I do! There is nothing like "letting the big dog eat" at 100 MPH in complete silence (except the squealing tires)!

My thoughts:

* Going from the Mustang to the Volt, I'd be concerned about the low head room, small windows, and massive pillars in the Volt making for poor visibility (especially when compared to...

This one looks better than most. Like with my Volt, I want an electric mower that is just as capable as a gasoline model (and I'm willing to pay for it). I cannot find anything like that on the...

This happened to me several months ago. Suddenly, "Jouley" stopped sending me reminders. It was a total cold shoulder! I racked my brain, but could not figure out what I had said or done to upset...

I agree. While I can sympathize with the frustration of being stranded, a few broken Volts does not equate to an unreliable car model. Being well aware of GM's historical reputation for poor...

I agree! Those who say that something cannot be done are often interrupted by someone doing it!
I am surprised that anyone who embraces a disruptive technology like the Volt could have such a...

Both of these could easily be fixed in software:
1. Push power button ==> radio on/off. Push and hold power button ==> whole center stack on/off.
2. Charging is set to 8 A by default (to minimize...

I like the existing 1.4 L ICE. It is smooth and mellow. If GM puts a smaller engine in there, it will have to work harder, resulting in more noise, vibration, and harshness. Owning a Volt and...
