  The future of the Automobile - 2011 Chevrolet Volt
  By jreason - February 8 - 7:18 am

  I have had my Volt for one month and am impressed with this vehicle. It is more refined than I expected. The ride and handling is very good especially for a 3700 lb vehicle. The seats are very comfortable. I like this car so much that I have ordered a second one.

  This car is a winner, in every way possible. - 2011 Chevrolet Volt
  By jerry150 - February 7 - 10:39 pm

  This car could have been just another ho-hum electric/hybrid, but it isnt that. Instead, it continues to amaze and delight me in how well designed and constructed it is. It has excellent handling, power, and comfort. The sound system, nav system, and integration of bluetooth, USB, and Onstar are probably the best in the industry. The "feel" of the car is of a nimble, high end European sedan, and I would choose this as my daily driver, even if it didnt deliver better economy than any other car, which, by the way, it does, with the possible exception of the Nissan Leaf.

  Best car Ive ever owned - 2011 Chevrolet Volt
  By yamahr1 - February 7 - 8:36 pm

  The Volt has debuted to a record number of awards for one new car, but also a lot of controversy. If the car had a Toyota badge on it, even Edmunds would be hailing it as the reinvention of the automobile. But alas, many just wont let their old GM baggage go. I say all this because its been obvious on forums like this that people who likely dont own a Volt are posting intentionally negative reviews to burn it. Like Id be very suspicious of cornell1 here. As such, I wouldnt believe a clearly hostile review unless the person can prove ownership. For me, just go to the Google Picasa photo site and look me up, yamahr1, where youll find pics of me getting my car.

  My 1st GM vehicle in 30 years - 2011 Chevrolet Volt
  By michael2003 - January 11 - 8:57 am

  Having the ability to drive using NO gasoline for >95% of my driving is a wonderful feeling. Not having to worry about how far I might have to drive or whether Ill get stuck in traffic allowed me to consider this as my only car. Having reduced worries when the price of gas goes up or gets rationed is a great stress reliever. Knowing that Im doing the best I can to support the US economy while also addressing environmental concerns just feels good. I thought Id have to compromise more to be able to drive this type of vehicle.
