Why the 2012 Chevrolet Volt?

Powertrain performance

What impressed me most about the car was the power it had, or at least felt it had. The electric motor instantly puts down the torque to pass.

Materials & workmanship

GM over-developed this car, and it shows. In a way they had to, but that is no complaint from me. Everything is put together well with quality components from the interior to the engine bay. I would only bemoan the "black and decker" battery charging cord

Fuel economy

Obvious.

Handling

Steering felt disconnected but had a nice weight to it. Despite the heft [and it is HEAVY] the car handles well and has a solid feel all around.

Exterior styling

There are plenty of hybrids by now and every other one looks designed for/by pussies. The Volt has a sleek exterior that still manages to exude attitude. Styling gimmicks like the rear kammback windshield and center reverse lamp will appeal to some.

Why Not the 2012 Chevrolet Volt?
