Best car I have ever owned. Very little maintenance. Comfortable and affordable. Great on gas if you stay in town. I have 16800 miles on it with life time mpg over 70 mpg Jan 20, 2023

They tried to sell a Volt with no warranty on the battery. Car will be a brick if/when battery fails. May 03, 2022
