Chevrolet Volt Customer Reviews

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  This car has an electric range of 53 miles, more than enough to get around town on a daily basis

• Reliability

  Very reliable in electric mode, not driven much in gas mode

Cons

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  doesn’t take much to fill up !!

• Styling

  so beautiful

• Seat Comfort

  seats are so comfy

Cons

Pros

• Cost to Maintain

  Minimal maintenance so far, haven't even had it in for an oil change yet. I love driving past all those high-priced gas stations. I do mostly around home driving, charge at home and have NOT bought any gas for the Volt since I bought it 4 months ago.

• Styling

  I knew I was looking for a hybrid, and, compared to others, the Chevrolet Volt had a much better design, both inside and out. I have always owned coupes and this is the first 4-door car I have owned. The exterior profile was sleek, sporty and the interior was likewise sleek, without a dashboard console that stuck up like a computer. I also like the center console with a familiar gear shift.

• Ride and Handling

  The Volt is very responsive, just as I would expect in an electric powered car. And it is also a very comfortable ride.

Cons

• Visibility

  I wish the rearview camera was sharper.

• Interior Space

  I wish the Volt had those handles in the roof over the doors. In a low-slung car, those overhead handles make it easier to get out.

Pros

• Braking

  can't beat the regen braking. add to that the back of steering wheel breaking button and you're good to go. the car will die before you'll need new brakes or rotors. linear braking all the way. so great for snow driving.

• Power

  300 lb -ft of torque offers up quick acceleration. it's basically an electric car with a gas generator. all the benefits of an electric car but with the option to drive on gas.

• Reliability

  hard to beat. great gas mileage. extremely low maintenance especially if you plug it in on a regular basis. oil changes every 2 years or so. no transmission. no brake pad changesand the list goes on. love this car. it's my third one. I'm not loyal to Chevy, but the volt is hard to beat.

Cons

• Styling

  I'm not a fan of the volt styling. but that's a personal thing. very generic looking, but it is what it is.

• Visibility

  visibility could be better. the A pillar is too much in the way when turning.

• Weather Versatility

  wished the volt was offered with AWD. it has too much torque to be only a front wheel drive car. have to be gentle when taking off or you'll burn rubber. AWD would have fixed that, not to mention it may have shaved another second off the 0 to 60 time

Pros

• Fuel Economy

• Cost to Maintain

• Ride and Handling

Cons

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  6 months of ownership no vists to the gas station!!!

• Cost to Maintain

  very little maintenance

• Interior Space

  Hatchback for anything!

Cons

Pros

• Reliability

  it’s been very reliable

• Braking

  regenerative braking does feel a little odd until you get used to it. but the braking does supply power back to the battery when braking.

• Cost to Maintain

  very inexpensive to maintain

Cons

• Power

  the car does accelerate a little in the slow side. but it is also a very economical car so I’m not to concerned with 0-60 times

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  The only time you use the gas backup generator is after the electric battery energy is exhausted. This can go on indefinitely and is a great "safety net" for people who want to shift to electric but are concerned about being stranded somewhere with no way to charge the car - you can literally drive this car across the country on gas and it'll get 45 to 50 mpg. I add gas to the tank about every 3 months.

• Cabin Noise

  When driving on all electric - very smooth and quiet!

• Technology and Entertainment

  Lots of updated electronics, and I get a lot of use from the Android Auto.

Cons

• Cabin Noise

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  Saves me cost on gas.

• Reliability

  Easy access and comfortable to drive the car.

Cons

• Interior Space

  There may be one blind spot on the right side of the car. I use an extra attachment for the side mirrors to see the right side of my car.

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  the hybrid battery is great! I used to fill up at least once a week but now it’s about twice per MONTH! They put so much into this economical car! There are so many pros!

• Technology and Entertainment

  This car packs a punch with heated seats front and back and a heated steering wheel!

• Styling

  Sleek and stylish!

Cons

• Technology and Entertainment

  It doesn’t always connect my phone correctly, but minor.
