2018 Chevrolet Volt Customer Reviews

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

Cons

Pros

• Technology and Entertainment

  If one is on the fence about buying an electric car outright, this car will ease your anxiety. Even after you read the owner’s manual, you will still be intrigued by what this car can do.

• Ride and Handling

  This car has the feel of a sports car, great pick up and an amazingly smooth ride.

• Dashboard

  My advice is to familiarize yourself with the dashboard before you drive it for the first time. There’s a lot of info there.

Cons

• Interior Space

  If one is over 6’2 and 200 lbs., you might feel a bit cramped. Also, even though there are 3 seatbelts in the back, a small child would need to be the middle passenger.

• Cargo Space

  Not much space there, but if no one’s in the back seat, divided seat backs fold down, giving additional space behind the driver and passenger.

Pros

• Technology and Entertainment

• Power

Cons

• Cabin Noise

  This is the only choice I could think to make....it's really not bad.
