I drive in town a lot, where the speed limit 45. Drive in low, anticipate lights, try to coast for stops where I can. I do not do that well consistently. On the freeway, the range drops to 42-45. My...

Volt is a Good Fit For Me. I love it. Best car I have ever owned.

I use windows media player. I drag mp3s into the playlist in the order I want them. Then burn to stick using media player. In the volt then I can tell it to use track list and it plays in the...

I activated traffic only, but am totally disappointed. The one feature that I wanted, audible alerts when traffic congestion ahead even when I was listening to a podcast on the HDD, does not work....

Rusty,
I just called xm and signed up for NAV traffic only for 3.99 or 43.82 /year with a 15.00 activation fee. And they will bill me, so I can write a check. I did that.
