What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Chevrolet Volt

2012 Chevrolet Volt Seat Room and Comfort: Pros

The front seats offer very good support and the seat bottoms are designed for tall drivers.. see full Chevrolet Volt review

The rear seats have limited leg room. A forward facing child car seat (Safety 1st Air Protect) is fine but to install it rear facing would make the passenger seat almost unusable and being a 4 seat there is no option to install in the middle of the rear which i find allows in many cars a good way to keep everyone safe & comfortable. see full Chevrolet Volt review

Front seats are semi-hard and covered in strange material. I could see people larger than myself having issues with them. see full Chevrolet Volt review

No power seat in a $46k car?? Get real, Chevy. Once you get used to them, though, both front and rear seats are comfortable for up to an hour or so. Longer than that and I need different lower back support that it doesn't have. But they are heated which is nice and it's comfortable leather. A few tweaks and/or an optional chair & this would be a non-issue. see full Chevrolet Volt review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2012 Chevrolet Volt

2012 Chevrolet Volt Powertrain: Pros

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. see full Chevrolet Volt review

I'm considering the "Powertrain performance" categoray as an overall statement about the car and driving it regularly: Of the 100+ cars I've owned over the past 35 years, there are none which are this smooth, quiet and perform as consistently as the Volt. I drive this as a normal car, and as such it is a superb vehicle. Others I own fill certain niches, but as an all-around car the Volt is outstanding. It's better for short and mid-length trips than it is for long distance, and the price is still too high for the average buyer. But I've never heard of a dissatisfied buyer & I proudly count myself as an early adopter of tomorrow's motoring experience. see full Chevrolet Volt review

I would like to see an option for additional electric range. Other than that it is a great car. There is no other car out there that can do what this one can. see full Chevrolet Volt review
