2014 Chevrolet Volt Customer Reviews

Pros

• Technology and Entertainment

• Safety

• Power

Cons

Pros

• Ride and Handling

  It drives like a sports sedan, especially in Sport mode.

• Fuel Economy

  If you have a short daily commute, you won't use much gas. I live 6 miles from work and I have to run the gas engine approximately once every two weeks.

• Value

  These make a great used car because their price drops like a rock. I think it's because people are afraid of used electric cars. Mine was over $50K originally and I paid $15K at Carmax 3 years later. It has every option like leather, premium navigation, remote starting via the OnStar app, etc.

Cons

• Interior Space

  Has room for 4 people, not 5, and the back seat is cramped.

• Visibility

  It's low to the ground which is good for handling but not as good for visibility. Also the C pillar is large.

Pros

• Fuel Economy

  Close to 50 miles before I need any gas

• Power

  Instant torque from the motors if you need it

• Technology and Entertainment

  USB for audio, XM weather and traffic well integrated

Cons

• Dashboard

  Takes time to get used to - read the owners manual!

• Interior Space

  Billed as a 4 seater, the back seat is rather snug

Pros

  You can choose routes and power (gas or electric) to increase efficiency

  If you have a typical commute, you might gas up once a month, semester, or even year.

  Capacitative buttons don't give any tactile feedback.
