    Six seats in the Prius? Five in the Volt? I think you inflated each by one.

    I'd toss in NVH being worse in the Prius and the engagement/performance of the Volt being vastly superior. The Volt is a...

    Friend of mine had that happen to her Honda Accord wagon (years ago). Slammed the liftgate shut and the glass imploded. It was quite spectacular.

    Could have been a defect or maybe something struck...

    In the summer we get 60-75km (whatever that is in that ancient system of measurement you guys use down south). In the bowels of winter we get 32-45km. Temperature has a huge effect. I figure, all...

    The numbers you get with the Volt are quite eye opening to many people. I'm usually asked how much it costs to drive a month. I usually give them my annual numbers: 20,000km, 83% electric, about $300...

    Can't blame them. That area is going to be hot, especially now that the City of Ottawa has earmarked $55M to raze parts of Cyrville and Ogilvie and put in shops, new stores, etc. and make it more...

    I'm fairly certain they sold their land to a developer. 3 major government agencies have major campuses near them. The land is prime real estate for the thousands of new employees or those wishing to...

    They need to get rid of the MPGe thing altogether. It makes no sense since, in the real world, who would get a higher equivalent MPG? An Accord or a Volt driver? I mean, really? That's just inane.

    3012.

    Why? No real reason.

    GE hasn't even gotten a fraction of their Volt order yet. I do wonder why, if GE truly ordered thousands of Volts, GM didn't use those to keep the factory at max capacity until more people caught...

    More than a year later, nothing.

    You'd think GM would get their **** together and ensure everyone who bought/leased a Volt got a package. It's not like shipping something out is rocket science. I...

    We put our order in in early May 2011 and the car arrived at the end of October, so six months.

    Waits are definitely shorter now than they were early on, which is to be expected. Of course, when...

    That's totally weird. I remember writing down that when we had a run of -17c days I got 32km of range. I keep the cabin temperature at 22c in Comfort Mode. And 80% of driving on work days is on the...

    Even gas cars get less mileage during colder weather. It's normal. But I think people just don't realize how many more times they fill up in winter than summer doing the same commute.

    After dealing with last year's winter (and occasional freezing rain) leave it on. We slap Michelin winter tires on it each year, and it's well worth it. Those "all seasons" are only all seasons if...

    Wow, nearly 10x the fuel economy our Volt is showing -- we're at 181mpg (1.3l/100km) after a full year including the hot summer and one brutal (i.e., typical) Ottawa winter.

    No regrets in buying...

    For the moment pure EV cars aren't the most practical, but for those who just want them for in and around town they're probably perfectly fine. And for a warm climate like California where winter...

    Didn't see that. Quite right. Hopes dashed. :(

    Although, to be honest, I will continue to believe the ELR will handle and accelerate much better than the Volt courtesy of its being a Cadillac. It...

    If you look at where the battery remaining is (7 of 10) then 24 miles @ 70% would mean 35 miles at full charge. The 672 might well be the odometer reading. We have no idea, it's not clear enough.

    The Encore rides on Gamma, a smaller platform than Delta upon which the Cruze, Volt and Orlando ride.

    If there is an Electra CUV and it comes out for Voltec 1.5 it will be based on the Orlando.
