I kept a scan gaugeII connected all the time, but I got tired of the onstar emails telling me that they could not perform diagnostics because something is plugged into the OBDII. Now I only plug it...

At first, I kept manually locking the door, then 15 seconds later, the auto lock would unlock the door. I had to train my self to not lock it manually.

The Ford Focus Electric unlocks the door as...

After one week with the focus I thought I would update you all with my observations so far.

There is some torque steer, but I like it. Just a little added pressure on the steering wheel keeps...

Will do. It is being shipped. I think from California. The $12,000 is fords incentive to move out 2012 to make room for 2013 which can be ordered now. Purchase has a $2000 rebate. On the lease,...

I took a lot of flak last year when I described how I deliberately ran out of gas and did not fill up for a month to avoid using gas in the winter since I live 5 miles from work. The volt uses a...

Seems that more evs could cause an increase of electric cost which could in turn push up the cost of gas since electricity is used in the refining of gas.

Hi all. I just signed a 3 year lease on a focus electric for my wife to replace her Prius. I couldn't pass up a $12,000 incentive. $330 per month with $0 down. I would have gotten another volt,...

The worst I ever got was 25, but that was 20 below. Pre-heat on 110 doesn't help that much since the mains can't keep up. For the sake of your state of mind. Try driving with no pre-heat, and no...

People with run flats on the MINI hate them. I wonder how they would do on the Volt?

Don't forget that if you like the backup camera, there are no lines displayed if you do not have the GPS. I didn't realize that, or I might have gone for the GPS.

I agree about the errors in the article. I was hoping that it would have started a good discussion about the merritt's of the volt, but since there was so many negative comments, it doesn't seem...

I test drove the c-max hybrid today. I like it better than the Prius but not as much as the volt. I still want to test drive the energi. I am thrilled to see more phev choices on the market.

Just came across this article it was ok, but the reader comments were...

One more point to consider. When driving the 5 minute commute with OAT below 25 degrees, the Volt will start the gas motor once you start to drive. This is to warm the water to defrost the...

You have to do a full charge to transition back.

What I did last year was to run out the gas tank. A few folks here thought I was abusing the car, so I relented and filled up. Other than the car complaining about reduced propulsion at each start...

Interesting article, great couple of responses.

My clear bra installer said that he would not tint the rear window because of the the pattern. I hadn't thought of tinting just the clear part.

I drove on in Denver last year before getting the volt. A little sluggish. Could keep up with traffic, but very loud!
Kind of sounded like the hybrid electric buses that go up and down the mall.

My installer said that while the 3m clear plastic does scratch, you can restore it by spraying it with a solution of 25% alcohol and water. It softens the plastic, and heals the scratches. It does...
