I really loved this car when I got first got it. After I had put on about 1500 miles (which took over 90 days) the brakes started squeaking very loudly, even when I was moving and not using them. I took it in to my local Chevrolet dealership to see what the problem was. It turns out that the calipers, pads, and rotors had so much rust damage that they needed to e completely replaced. One would think that something like this would have been caught during the inspection process that Carmax likes to advertise so much.
Pros: I couldn't afford a new fully electric vehicle, but I was able to afford a used Volt. As long as I plug it in every night on a standard 120v, and drive less than 50 miles per day, I rarely use gasoline. I only use gasoline when I go out of town. And I never have to worry about finding a charge station when out of town. Because I'm mostly driving in electric mode, my mpg is around 70 mpg. It's not gonna thrust you back in your seat like a Tesla, but it's gets off the line with plenty of zip. Cons: It's a mid-size on the outside, compact on the inside. The back left and right seats are fine, but tight fitting for adults. The middle back seat should only be for luggage, not comfortable. Very low to the ground, some speed bumps will hit the bottom if going too fast. Too fast being 5 mph.
A plug in EV with an engine/generator on board makes the most sense for remote Colorado! There simply are not the charging stations out there to be used on any longer trip. Having a 4 cyl. generator that can charge and run the car for 350 more miles is excellent engineering on Chevy's behalf. Maybe someday remote areas like Delta CO will have charging everywhere and it will be less than 30 min. but until then this car is the only sane answer! Love it!
