I agree with the other posters. The visibility out of the Volt is probably it's biggest drawback. With that said, you simply get used to it and learn to drive a little differently to make sure...

I'm fine with the four seats but if it can't hold a gun rack, then no sale. NGRNS!!!!

Newt for President 2016!!!!

I'm coming up on 29,000 miles, of which, 90 percent are EV.

I had a drive motor support bearing go out and since it was a 2011 and they apparently changed the part in later models, it took a long...

Nice write up! As a person who is coming up on 26 months of ownership and nearly 29,000 miles of driving I second a lot of what you say. It is a great car and GM should be very proud of it.

The...

It's interesting how we all relate to our MPG numbers. Obviously, the cars themselves are all very comparable and so the typical commute and the ability to charge far outweigh how efficiently we...

Yippee! One whole mile of charge or is that an L2 and you can get 2.5 miles?

To be blunt, it's still better than the concept of the Volt Dancers.

Yep, there should be at least a couple of threads on Pikes Peak here. One thread I remember reading is that some organization occasionally measures the brake temperatures after descending Pikes Peak...

Ah, fond memories of that road! And, yes, with all those turns I can imagine how annoying the large A pillar would be. You definitely get used to it but the constant neck moving to properly see on...

Agreed but a 20 percent loss seems high. I understand that it is Minnesota in the winter but I thought we should expect about a 10 percent loss.

Is the garage heated?

Awesome! Of course, you may need psychiatric help but you can afford it with all the money you are saving! ;)

I get an error message when I try to open it. Something about either the file type not being supported (although I do have Adobe) or that it might be a damaged file.

It may be the same thing that I had back in December. I was pulling into work and I heard a loud whining sound that was proportional to my speed and thus as I slowed down in the parking lot it would...

Obviously not too surprising on how people on a Volt forum are answering these questions but I'm one of those that think you can't lose going in either direction. Now as to what would be better for...

Yeah, those test drives are dangerous! Test drive a Volt and you get what us relative old timers here used to call VES (Volt Envy Syndrome) and you just have to have one.

Like Bob, I'm coming...

Hey Chris,

Welcome to the forum! I'm obviously just a little south of you and am coming up on nearly 2 years of ownership of my Volt. I still love getting into it everyday and that is saying...

Your info about Tesla's charging rate is a bit out of date.

The superchargers, that have been in the news so much as of late, are supposed to be able to...

Congrats and welcome to the forum!

Once you put some more time in with the Volt I would be interested in hearing your take on the comparison between the A4 and the Volt. I have heard many people...

FWIW, saghost and flmark are doing the calculations correctly. You want to back out any costs associated with just having your house connected to the grid. The $16.21 per month is charged to you...

You all are making me jealous. I have a 2011 Volt and my best has only been 52. But I almost always use the freeway on my commute and that definitely hurts the range. Perhaps one day I'll take it...
